Honda Weight Loss Thread. [input your tips]
Post any tips for weight savings that you have performed. What you did and how much you lost. Carbon Fiber Hood, Lightweight wheels or whatever.
Please be sure to only post if you have tested your numbers.
You can weigh things easy by holding them and standing on a home scale and subtracting your initial weight from your new weight, the difference in weight is your parts weight
