I def want to get the wieght down as a first priority, but keep it nice and driveable on the interior.

I figure, best things I can do is remove the spare and others from the trunk, get lightwieght rims, when it's available a CF Hood & CF Trunk. What else?

looks like all the weight is in the rear - that's a good thing

but it's still a pig

Honestly if its just a street car I wouldnt put much effort into trying to get the weight down. It wont really serve much purpose.

meh leave it alone, the damn car handles hella good for it's weight. The car is 50/50 or close to that

i wonder how close a fully gutted X is compared to a fully gutted IX. That way you could see how much of the extra wieght in the X comes from anemeties..

[crctslt]

This is one of the reasons I bought my IX. The Evo has officially become the fat chick at the party.

[steevo8]

the 8's and 9's are overweight imo. The X is obese.

[lodievo209]

The X is a fat-ass :lol:

Yea, :? I figured.

I have always wanted to take my Evo to the track every once in a while and get a feel for it. Everyone recommends it and says I'll become addicted. It's made me somewhat curious :D

The car is 50/50 or close to that


56.7/43.3 according to those scales

Evo 8/9 where about 61/39

The battery in the trunk on the X probably helps a bit.

even on the track it wouldnt make much difference unless you could loose 300lbs+, untill you really get a feel for the car. Unless you plan to do 6-8+ track days a year it would really be a waste of time and effort to start getting the weight down on a street car. Your far better off just spending the money on tire/brakes/fluids etc

The evo is a pig compared to the sti... Evo still looks good overall though.
