Definitely interested to see where you end up weight wise. From my Honda days I realized all the little stuff adds up. A few oz for a bracket here, 10lbs from the bumper supports. 15lbs of sound deadening before you know it your 2k lb crx is down to 1700lbs and your using it work workout equipment instead of a car lol.

Thanks for answering back. Super motivating what you’ve done and makes me want to finish up a couple projects I have going on.

I still have a good bit to do to the truck before I drive it again. Still have to put new fuel system in it as I did away with the factory tank. I got a new rear end from Quick Perfomance with new rear suspension pieces from Merillat Racing. I'll have to put atleast a harness bar in so I have safety belts and something to keep the kirkeys from folding backwards lol. I also got a fiberglass hood and bumper from GTS but i'm sure i'm 100% ready to commit to that yet lol. I'll have an update video soon with more details on our 187 customs youtube channel as well as more stuff here as I go

Thats some good truck **** right there sir.

I agree with facebook and forums...cant tell you how much I learned just reading forums when I was younger, but now its all garbage on facebook.

If you need a harness bar I also make one that work with my seat brackets.
I'll definitely post them once I'm finished lol
Honestly, i never looked in the tank when i got it back from aeromotive. They used my tank to create the intank setup for the big brushless pumps like that. I assume it had the yellow foam basket thing. It worked great but not under 1/4 tank
I definitely need a harness bar
