Fiber Images

 

Is the OP mike1023??

On like his 3rd or 4th screen name?

 

When I read these weight reduction threads I wonder how much weight could have been saved if the Evo was a two door. Imagine a IX chopped and made smaller. Almost makes me want to shop for a salvaged car..... and try some big weight reduction. Probably just as much work as taking a Evo drive train and putting it in a 2300lb hatchback.

 

already been done overseas...norris designs

 

Nope.

 

Word

 

What about the crash beams in the doors? Going from 03 to 04 Mitsu changed from steel beams to aluminum. You can really feel the difference just opening and closing the doors 03 vs 04 and up.

My 03 doors feel way heavier than my friends 04.

 

I wouldn't touch those until you caged the car, but that is just my opinion

 

here is a pic to back my boy up been done

 

I have the Fiber Images Carbon hood and it is significantly lighter than the OEM hood. It also fits very nicely. I would stay away from anything with Seibon on it.

 

i would never take the crash bars out thats dangerous as hell, especially with how bad at driving other people are

 

for those willing to spend a weekend getting dirty... take the carpet out and remove all the sound deadening material.... not for everyone..but like you said.... this thread is for those looking to shed every free pound!

also... a few things on that list... for those who wanna start off a step ahead and have yet to actually buy an evo.... buy an RS... no ABS, manual windows, no sound deadening material, no rear wiper, aluminum roof, less wiring.... again.. just helpful tips

 

If you own a dsm/evo and don't have a set of jackstands these cars aren't for you.

 

+1000 Jackstand ballin is what mitsus are about.

 

i have a cf hood and it feels lighter than the stock one...are u saying that the stock hood is better?
