oh. didnt know they were that pricey. how much do the aluminum units run?

 

not even close. a 95 civic hatch has a curb weight of 2,108 lbs. a gutted tc would weigh 2,500 lbs. tc's are at a distinct disadvantage when it comes to weight. thats why it feels so good to beat turbo hatches at the track.

 

My 95 Civic 4dr dx weighed 2200lbs on the scale and my tC weighed 2945 if I remember correctly on the same scale neither was gutted.

 

whats with all the bashing just saying and FYI one of those full weight hondas was a new fg2 si w/ greddy kit

 

used dry ice to take off sound deadning, cut the inside crash braces on both doors (35lbs)

 

Aluminum would be a custom thing. To my knowledge no one makes an application for a tC like that.




I know, I was just attempting to over exaggerate, but even my exaggeration was an understatement.

 

link to 10sec fg2 please.

 

thats it? (not being a dick just asking im curious)


still have both bumper supports? Full exhaust? 1 seat (aftermarket?)

Im gonna see how light I can get my tC without doing the roof .. It looks like a pain in the ___ to do the aluminum
I asked Ptuning for advice a while back and they ignored me

Home Depot is selling lexan now.. I would look into that smoke

 

Lexan for the roof? Naw I'll pass, couldn't stand a clear roof 24/7. And the aluminum I would have PTuning hook me up with if I go that route. I don't get ignored, perhaps your question just got lost in the mix somewhere when you asked them.

 

No I meant Lexan for the rear windows glass (not hatch)

I PMd the guy on here twice and got ignored. Oh well for them.

Keep us posted.

 

so what about auto tc times any one going to say they got the fastest.
i didnt get to run mine before it got cold but i got a built motor and weight reduction and hopefully be boosted soon to support the money i put into the motor

 

for the lexan im am getting it for the roof and the windows and for the roof im just going to spray paint it gloss black so there no light in and its lighter then aluminum

 

I just call or email MrC directly. But anyhow. Yeah I was contemplating on Lexan in the rear when I go CF on the hatch.

 

By what a few ounces...lol. A thin sheet of aluminum does not weigh any more than a piece of lexan glass, I'll bank on it.

 

yea i guess i was thinking of steel sheet when i said that but how would you mount the aluminum cuz i now wit the laxen you can use window weld so the are no bolts or screws


and still wondering if the are any auto tc running anything somewhat quick

 

Rivets

 

yea but with lexan i can use window weld to put it on and its easier to spray paint it the color of the car

 

I'll pass on that and just rivet it in, like PTuning's tC.

 

my friend has a auto tc rs1 he ran 8.0 in the 1/8th dunno about the quater.. mayb in the 12's

 

what he have done to it
