Empty out your trash, gum wrappers, dead pens and those little fun smelly trees that hang around for years.

Remove the rear seat, take out the passenger seat, remove all the carpet, door panels, scrape sound deadening material out of the entire car....and the cruise control box should be on the drivers side, it's a black plastic box...

use the SEARCH button on HAN, Team-integra.net, and honda-tech.com.....there is many things that can be removed and some people even have weighed the parts so you have a ball park of what your gonna lose.

This reminds me of one of my friends from back in the day. When going to the races or the track, he'd "dress light" and "think light." And his car was fast too for being pretty stock.

I wish just "thinking light" would make my car faster. What about "lightweight racing lug nuts". Now I know it sounds kinda silly for a street car, but if people spend hundreds on light rims, why not go the extra mile for the lugs too? Would it really make that much of a difference that someone would want to spend $75 on them? The OEM ones are strangely heavy for how small they are, but I don't think racing ones would really help.
