Take out your old sunroof and use it as your mold and make your own fiberglass panel. It will be a bit bigger than the original but there is room for it. As far as vendors go, I dont think a vendor makes one and if they do the price is outragous.

good work man,i wanna lighten mines to around 2700-2800.this thread is going to help me alot when i start

2700-2800 shouldnt be a problem at all and can still look pretty stock. Have fun.

AWDlaser, How comfortable are the summit seats? Could you take a two hour drive with out too much trouble? They are the plastic ones right?

Thanks, Matt

i will

AWDlaser · Jun 16, 2006

they arent that bad, I've driven an hour in them, its wasnt the most comfortable but its do-able. However I do not have the covers which actually help ALOT. I think summit has a deal that its $60 or $70 for the seat with the cover.

Almost done the fuel cell, just have to run the new lines and remove the stock equipment. Car was under 2700 with me before the fuel cell, headlights, radiator, and odyssey battery. Once I finish with the gas tank, rear floor, rear glass and CF hood, I hope to see around 2500 w/driver.

Nice install...
Is that a 1gal cell??
I've had thoughts of downsizing to a 5gal cell, but 1gal would hender my street fun too much.

Is that for your fuel system? I was intending to mount a 1 gallon fuel cell I have in the exact same location for my alky setup I will be doing.

I'd just utilize the stock windshield fluid bottle..I think it'd look alot cooler to use a 1gal cell but in the end you're still paying for the cell and if you're like me you don't use your wiper fluid anymore so why not..Plus when it runs low you have a stock indicator light installed already..

Thanks, yes its a 1 gallon cell. The car definately wont be driven on the street anymore. I figured by dropping the stock tank and lines and the rear floor, i should save about 50lbs or so? Ill weigh it all when Im done.

sorry for the noob question, but what is a fuel cell and what does it do?

Iceman21 · Jun 22, 2006

A fuel cell replaces your gas tank. They come in different sizes. 5 gal, 1 gal, etc.

Used to complete a fuel system. You don't need a 15 gal tank when you drag racing

Changing to driving lights saved a little weight. The entire stock light assembly was removed along with the motors and new lights were installed behind the lenses. Made for a good spot for the air filter.

ahh i see.. so its not a good weight saver idea if you still want the car streetable right?

green92gsx · Jun 22, 2006

Id be worried mounting a cell in that location in a 5 speed car. If a flywheel explosion happend you could have serious problems.

scapaldo · Jun 22, 2006

Thats what the firewall is for.

twenty5Psi · Jun 22, 2006

I thought about removing the headlight assembly as well..The motors along with the sealed beams have to weigh a little..Scap,how did you do yours?..Did you just put bulbs behind the clears?..
