I've seen a lot of super light b13's,knew a guy who's b13 weighed 1650-1700 lbs.Of course it was a structural disaster and looked like a huge pile of ass,but it was light.My goal is sub 2200,but full interior,no sheet metal cutting,no lexan windows,no removal of body parts,etc.I'm not far away,so we shall see.....

I am too, I've yet to go to a track where the scales are working...

I'm adding some weight to it though, manifold, turbo, and rollcage.

^ I think that sounds about right, ideally of I were to stay NA I'd like to be as close to 2000 as possible but I'm not down for a tin can. As It's looking for now I'm going boost and with the power I'm planning I'm not too concerned about weight.

From what I've seen with the carbon fiber hoods,they weigh more than the stock ones due to the bracing needed for structural rigidity.May not be so on our cars,but a lot of the ones I've seen on trucks and various Honda stuff.Sub 2200 is my current goal,but I still have to keep the interior minus the rear seat,for SCCA purposes Gotta say 2167 is pretty admirable!


Not True. I saw a 7 lb difference switching the hoods. But I did it mainly for looks to be honest considering spending the money just to save 7 lbs....
