weight reduction

It would require a 220-240 pound weight reduction to net you a 3.7% in mixed mode fuel economy.Honda was very sparing in the original execution of the CRX.The things you could remove would probably destroy the "civility" of the car.I gutted my Karmann Ghia in the name of weight reduction and all I was rewarded with,was a car that was punishing to be in,and no redemption at the filling station.For the trouble you're willing to go to,I'm afraid you'll be disappointed with the results.
