Here.....my car weighs 2400lbs with hardtop and rollcage but with no fuel...

It is not street legal...

to save even more weight

- make the rollcage just a rollbar
- cut out the door bars out of the sidedoors
- Lightweight battery (I have stock battery)
- Remove the air pump (mine is still in)
- Get rid of the extra wiring (to the power windows, locks, etc...)
- Lexan window for hardtop
- remove bumper beams...(just don't get hit by anyone)
All of that would be nearly free stuff and

 

Sure can do,but you won't have a street legal car anymore.!!!
First,get on a diet !!!
Remove everything unnecessary,( don't have to enumerate,)get all the panels acid dipped,and you can get below 2200#,but you will have a track only car,and it won't be legal in every class.
Bonneville Salt Flats???

 

For those that want to read more about the ASM S2000. http://hondatuningmagazine.com/features/0506ht_s2000/

 

If you were going to do this, why wouldn't you just by a track day car. OR something like the Ariel Atom, which, while highly impractical, is street legal.

 

I don't recall him saying anything about it having to be street legal. He just asked how.

 

good read!

 

Wow seems you've already done lots. Maybe the only difference between yours and ASM's s there body parts. I notced everything on the outside aside from the wheels, and wing are stock. Carbon hood, trunk, fenders would get the weight down a bit. Carbon trunk would def get it down some. The hood will but probably if you go with some sort of honeycomb like c-west(I think it's like 3lbs, so is there trunk). I'm not sure how much fenders would help, but I bet that would shave some weight off also.

Then fcourse you can get carbon front and rear bumpers. he doors would help out the most but god dam they're pricey.

 

my car is a race car...weighing just under 2400 pounds....in order for me to compete in NASA's 25 hours of thunderhill with my cage size I need to get the car right at 2200 pounds...the cage is built with C-M at a 0.095 wall thickness, but they seem to put C-M in the same class as mild steel down there in NASA. My cage was built under Canadian rules. So I do have a PROBLEM.

 

What class are you going to compete in? That weight seems very low. H1 S2000's minimal weights w/ driver are 2650 or 2750 depending on motor.

 

My car is 2650 with me in it (with 30lbs of balast and half a tank of gas). For 25H of thunderhill though there may not be a "honda" H1 class.???

I could knock a few lbs out of my car for cheap but removing bumper beams is something I would never do.... I have been hit too many times....
