About 10 yrs ago I built a 1g CRX w/a '87 'teg drivetrain and used it for my dd for ~4 yrs and absolutely loved it...so, for the KAKABOX ax/ot car, I'll do the swap again, but this time I'm really concentrating on weight reduction and suspension.
After stripping the interior because of mushrooms, slugs (yup, found one living in a wheel cover!), little plants growing (leaky sunroof in rainy Seattle!) inside the car, I drove to the local dump and threw the interior away! On the way out of the dump, I drove the KAKABOX over the scales...after subtracting my weight, the Si weighed 1852 lbs. w/half a tank of gas, spare & jack!
Not bad for a start...since then I've removed the door panels w/speakers (20 lbs. total), the stereo (4 lbs.), rear wiper motor etc. (3 lbs.), rear tow loops (2 lbs.)...still lot more to remove, i.e., replace sunroof w/alum panel, remove all tar based sound deadening...I'd like to see a sub 1800 lb. w/the D16a swap & full tank gas...
Anyway, I'd like to post my progress along w/pics for everyone to follow along and comment on...that is if everyone thinks it'd be value added...? Plus I'm sure I'll have more than a few questions for all the experts here!
Anyway, on w/the show! Here's a couple pics of the car just after I drove it out of the alley into my driveway...ah, hmmm, have to learn how to populate my "Gallery" first! I registered, set password, but I don't see my gallery (kakabox)....? I'll have to work on this...
