whos stripped down their cb7?

[1990Ex]

my car is extremely uncomfortable and i love it

this is what i was talking about before. what fun is it to make a fast car faster? why not take a slow car (like a cb7) and make it stomp those fast cars out there. just cause its not meant to be fast doesnt mean it cant be.

i love the fumes an heat lol, makes me feel at one with the car people who dont believe in stripping there cbs good for you civics were not meant to be stripped down either, nor where tegs an anything else on the market. you take the car an make it what you want it to be. since i dont ride alot of people anyways, taking out my backseats have done no harm. what i have done is a very light weightloss, nothing to over the top.

A civic with 70 HP IS slower.

Also, I don't really give a shit what you guys do. I think stripping out a 4 door car on the pretense of making it faster is stupid. It would be easier to accomplish with more power, and you STILL have a usable car in the end.

If you can't make it fast with the interior in, then you can't make it fast.

P.S. I have beaten more than 1 stripped ass accord WITH more mods than I had AND a 5 speed when I had my F22. Full interior, full sound proofing, AC, Power steering, AND a system.

Clearly there is more to making a car fast than stripping it out. He had a driver's seat and a peice of black fabric to cover the whole rear end of the car.

alright this is what i have done mate, just stripped out the boot and resprayed it, i noticed abit of a difference, getting rid of the big system, tools and other junk, plus it looks pretty cool haha. prob will leave the interior the way it is but looking at getting some light weight rays or work wheels and all the carbon fiber goodies, maybe a couple of sparcos, should shead some pounds

No it really doesn't matter.

You take the carpet out, the backseat, the sound deadening, the trunk lining, the passenger seat, the A/C, the power steering, etc etc etc, and what are you left with?

A single seat Civic hatchback that STILL weighs 500lbs more than a Civic hatchback fully loaded.

The purpose of the Accord was not to be as light as possible. Unless you are caging that bitch and running it in a specific race class that REQUIRES something like an Accord, you are stupid for stripping it out. End of discussion. A lighter car will ALWAYS be faster with the same HP, and a base model Civic hatch will ALWAYS be lighter than a stripped out Accord. Strip the hatch, and it is even worse.

Strip the Accord and put 200HP in it, and you will be lucky to break out of the 14's. Strip a hatch and put 200HP in it and you should be looking at 12's with a properly running setup. And the hatch will ALWAYS get better MPG, will be more responsive, handle better etc.

Simple physics my friend.

I am a bigger fan of the Accord than the Civic, but when you remove the mission that the Accord excels at (being a reasonably fun to drive car that is still roomy and comfortable) you are just wasting a perfectly good car.

This is exactly why I got a Civic. I got into weight reduction and then one day I thought, why not just get a Civic? I got a dx coupe though, still only 130lbs more than base model hatch.

yea dude accords are heavy as fuck....hmm i wonder about how much we loose if the backseat, the panels not the door ones, the plastic over the back speakers, the roof plastic thing, and all the trunk is stripped down......

My four door

Thats pretty much exactly how stripped mine is.

I still have my rear door panels and roof panel on though. I want to strip it as much as possible but there are certain functions I dont want to lose. As silly as it sounds i want to take off my roof panel but then i still want to be able to keep my dome light as well as the sun visors/mirrors in the front.
