**Civic Weightloss Guide**

I have created a weightloss guide which can be seen on my DOHC-VTEC website. It is on the Resource page as a tutorial.

Or you can go straight to the following link.

Instead of taking everything out and making ur car look hobo'ish and shit... why don't u just buy a car that is fast to begin with?

Its a track car its not meant to look pretty. Function over fashion. And a 750kg car with a B16 engine is quick enough. Do the figures its power to weight ratio is better than a type r and you can have one for just over 5 grand including the car, mounts, engine, trans.
