Nice little car. I have seen the CRX phone dials described as 18lbs on honda tech. My VX wheels are 9.7lbs. Roughly you might double that number to figure rotational mass. Ride height, I plan to test lowered ride height using $30 clamps (plus an alignment) instead of committing to new coils for 20 times more. Deleting your radio will not make much difference. Don't mar that good-looking dash.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
