make sure you have lightweight wheels too? they make a difference. Plus, unless it's a lightweight edition already, you can take out Power Steering, ABS, plus re-located your battery to the boot for a weightloss in the engine bay.

You could have the lightest Prelude in the World. It won't make any difference if the driver is a fat phucker! :o

My mate kept telling everybody how he had a 'lightweight' Prelude. He weighed in excess of 20 stone. :facepalm:

You could lay off the burgers, go for a jog every day and keep your PS and ABS. :ugeek:

good point, i have a mate who has a very rapid ATR, but his own weight lets down the performance.

Bit off topic I know, but does anyone have a guide to removing the ABS from a 5th gen?
