Turbo, how is the Amuse on a loudness scale? Definitely the sweetest exhaust for the S2000 available.

remove the radio and speakers. For those that claim to never use the air conditioning. Remove the air conditioner.

The old days is how they did it. No A/C and radio.

there is one really good thread on this topic already (and a couple other threads worth reading as well).

really good thread,
worth reading.

the conclusion is that you could probably cut 300 to 400 lbs without real negative effect on the car.


to quote from one of chris' posts in the thread:

"Assuming you could easily drop 400lbs, the power to weight ratio would go from 11.6 lbs/HP to 10 lbs/HP a 16% improvement across the board or the equivilent of 278HP peak."


and to quote from one of luis' posts in the thread:

"There is a general rule for this HP gain versus weight loss: If you are looking for handling and quick acceleration, go for the weight loss. "

After running the 1/4 mile, I also plan on doing some weight reduction also.

Here's what i am planning on getting:

-16" Regamaster rim (same as Spoon, but in gunmetal)- 11lbs
-Amuse Ti exhaust - 8lbs
-Mugen or Amuse (if it comes out) header - not sure, but my Mugen header on the 5th gen Prelude was much lighter then the stock header
