Losing some weight

Off-Topic:
You can remove the rails on the roof pretty easy but it requires you to drop the headline in order to gain access to the bolts.

By the way,

Do NOT remove a bunch of weight from only the back end of a front wheel drive car unless the car is only used in drags.

If you drive it every day, or autocross, you will be a lot more likely to drift and cause an accident.

Actually with a lot of weight removed from the back, and with 4 psi more air in the front tires, I couldn't get the car to lift throttle oversteer even in some really tight turns.

Only by dabbing the brakes would the tail rotate around.

BTW, this is on the track only with stock tires. Not the street.

I'm itching to go back and try a 2 psi difference. Maybe then I could drift or at least lift throttle oversteer.

I read an article in Sport Compact Car where they kind of made a joke about removing weight from a car. I think it was like a 95 accord. They took off all the body panels, seats, etc. All that was left was the moving parts. Ran like a 13.8 or something if I remember correctly. Give that a shot and let us know.

was an older sentra with 18" rims in the beginning I believe

SCC also did it to a Civic SiR [coupe].
