IALuder · 12-06-2004, 12:31 PM

*ChrisCantSkate* · 12-06-2004, 12:59 PM

back seats MAYBE 10 lbs.

ShEaNy · 12-06-2004, 04:25 PM

10 pounds? .... either im stupidly weak...or the accord seating is heavier then the preludes lol...60 pounds is prolly wrong on my part though lol..:o

*ChrisCantSkate* · 12-06-2004, 08:48 PM

nah prelude rear seats are tiny.. just peices of foam over the body basically.

IALuder · 12-07-2004, 07:37 AM

really? is it even worth removing chris?

ShEaNy · 12-07-2004, 04:26 PM

do u just want it for weight reduction?..or are u building a enclosure back there...its not really worth it..unless ur going all power..and all less weight helps..

If you're removing the seats for weight savings to go faster, forget it. Its a little lame to remove seats in your non-race car for a .05 1/4 mile savings

Removing the A/C reduces the load on the engine and frees up a little power. Not worth the inconvenience IMO, but its better than removing the seats.

Try a local dump to get your car weighed.
