Where to start?????

Lets see, you've done the sound deading, lighter seats? coil overs are lighter than springs and shocks, ( atleast in the front, unsprung weight), air bags and glove box, AC comp. plus lines & cond. also cruise control module, move the new & lighter battery to the right rear for better balance and CF hood and deck lid, take out as much glass as you dare, replace with Lexan. Also could removed crash bars in doors, ( all 4 weigh 16 lbs.).Front crush tube weighs 19 lbs. Aluminum fly wheel, aluminum radiator weighs about same as OEM. Smaller steering wheel.
If you do all of that it would be +- 300 lbs lighter than OEM, depending on year of car and as to whether its a 6 or 4 and stick or auto.

Hope this helps & if I think of anything else, I'll let you know!

I think that hood makes your car look excellent. Should definitely help alot with cooling down the engine bay.

Thanks for the tip man. As far as my car goes it has nothing inside like yours. I have lighter seats around 20 lbs one. I will replace the sunroof with the plexi glass, lighter wheels. I will have heavir brakes since I am bought 6 piston wilwood set-up with AEm big brake kit for the rear.Ac condenser will be out this winter and new exhaust installed. This will cut some weight since the stock one is heavy as hell. I am trying to get a Cf hatch, If i seel few things I will get it since I get a good deal on it. My goal is to lose 400 lbs of the car. Maybe one time we could meet at the drag strip and compare the cars in 1/4 race

Also my car is lightger since its 4 banger and its 5 speed

DaveUSDMkillr · 11/15/2008, 01:07 PM

Lexan Windows Basically a 5-10 mm plastic window.
Do your exhaust last bro.
I only hear Ricers have Apexi -_-
When building a motor. You need to know how much power your going to produce. So I dont think a 300hp car on average after building will use 2 1/4 inch piping Go big or go home

Still gj with project will find out smog laws for ohio when I have the time.
Also Get your selfa 8lbs Fidanza.

I dont know what stock flywheel weight is But Not light what so ever.

Clipse3GS · 11/15/2008, 01:20 PM

well, most likely I will go with invidia and I dont plan on boostin my car. At the best I will swap to DOHC from evo and call it since I can use all my parts for it (header,exhaust,ecu etc)

stilwrks · 11/15/2008, 04:30 PM

Heh clipse, when I replaced my OEM brakes with Brembo's, the weight was about the same save for the rotors.

...but its gonna have more rotational mass right? Well I am putting Clipse3GT's cracked dash in my car for now untill next year. I have to figure out a good way to set-up all the gauges etc.

I am trying to contact the guy about Invida but nothing so I had the thought. What if I I leave my muffler (Magnaflow) and then get a custom piping from the store. Will this run me same as 300 cat-back? Is this a good idea? Will the sound of the car be louder, deeper, raspy? As of right now car has no rasp at all but a deep nice lever sound

Waste of money bro Just straight pipe it Pipes do not cost more then 40 bucks at most muffler shops.
USA is the biggest exporter of Steel/metals FYI its cheaper for us than other countries,Apexi,Skunk2 etc you pay for the name.

Ok Invidia will be here in two weeks, my 6k HID came in last week(something to see better at night).Now working the deal on CSF 1 row radiator for better cooling.

PharmEcis · 12/02/2008, 12:32 AM

Don't even bother. The CSF radiators are junk.

well I think they are better than stock. Clipse3GT is running dual core on his 400+ SDS 3G and he never had problem with overheating

PharmEcis · 12/02/2008, 12:20 PM

The CSF radiator is slimmer than stock. The only difference is aluminum end tanks which does NOTHING for cooling.

The SDS has NEVER had overheating issues, no matter how much power you are making. You run into cooling problems when you turbo the car due to the hotside piping soaking the radiator and intercoolers which block airflow to the radiator.

Trust me, CSF = chinese junk.

Clipse3GS · 12/03/2008, 01:55 PM

Well I got a good deal on Sportlines so i decided to go with that. I should work on the car next week so we will see how the drop will look !

stilwrks · 12/03/2008, 05:24 PM

FYI, Have had a CSF for about 3 years and haven't had any issues as of yet!

No, just wanted more fluid to aid in keeping it as cool as possible!

Generally overheating isn't an issue unless turbo'ing!

Diff. is OEM is a single where as the CSF is double, weights the same!

Well its weird because at the Auto-X events my car does overheat and sometimes really bad. We usually run 45-55 sec courses in a hot/humid weather. After lets say 2-3 runs the needle can even go over 3/4 of the way so i need a better way of cooling the engine. I already bough silicone radiator hoses,CF hood with the cut out in the middle and have a goo deal on CSF 1 row radiator (came from Rulez's car). Do you think this will help?

No. You need 2 12" high CFM fans.

CSF makes 2 different radiators for this car. I have one downstairs that I wouldn't put in a modified car, the core is slimmer than stock.

I just got done looking for a new radiator and CSF actually makes 3 sizes with aluminum end tanks. 15/16", 1.25" and a two row 2-1/16". BTW, my stock 2000 GT radiator is 5/8" thick. I replaced it with a 15/16" plastic end tank CSF radiator. The link below has some pics and some links.

It doesn't matter how much coolant your radiator can hold if it's not getting airflow.

Thats not totally true. Yes you are limited by the cooling medium (air in this case) however tube passes, fins and also water (coolant) also play a roll in overall heat exchange of the radiator. The best bang for the buck is to add a fan that can supply more cfm than stock but adding extra surface area and/or fluid will also help you cool.

Clipse3GS · 12/05/2008, 09:41 AM

so what is the best way to cool down my car. I dont think track events should bea problem since you run at higher speed with more constant pace.

Running a dual core with a bigger than stock fan would be your best bet.

A shrouded fan works the best. What about something like this?

Automoto Sports Copyright&copy AMS 2006

Clipse3GS · 12/05/2008, 04:57 PM

I also gotta watch my budget

stilwrks · 12/05/2008, 08:02 PM

FYI, regards fans, I found out that one of my fans died, didn't realize it until I brought in to have some work done! ( Possible prob.?)
The fact that your autocrossing may be part of the prob. as its a short run with no cool down laps/time!
I'm on the track for 20 - 25 min at a time which allows me a bit of time to cool things down, such as on the long straight. The infield part of the course is fairly tight and also we may be tail to bumper through a lot of the infield which doesn't allow much cooling either. I will say in sumation that I haven't had any cooling problems to this point!

Clipse3GT · 12/06/2008, 08:34 AM

On my GT Emil, I run about 203-205F with my CSF radiator, even with just one stock fan. I would say first replace the radiator with dual core, then worry about fans if the radiator doesn't do the trick in the first place.

Also you might not be overheating, it might a faulty sensor as well. That coolant temp gauge in our cars is a dumbu gauge. You really have no idea what temp the coolant is unless you would hook up a digital readout to the sensor that goes to the ECU itself.

stilwrks · 12/06/2008, 10:32 AM

Thats what I did, added another gauge regards water temp! Of course the only time I can read it is on the long straight, just too busy otherwise!

Clipse3GS · 12/06/2008, 11:40 AM

I already got a Water temp gauge (Autometer) so I will be putting that as well

MOMO race steering wheel

Clipse3GS · 12/19/2008, 05:31 PM

Sportlines are here and RPW header is on the way !!!

I'm hoping I will have all the parts by New Years so I can finally start working on it

Clipse3GS · 12/26/2008, 12:50 PM

RPW header arrived at Christmas Eve ....lol

Xska555 · 12/27/2008, 08:02 PM

looking good! which club do you race with the most?

Clipse3GS · 02/06/2009, 07:02 PM

I race with ASCC/NORA and I am hoping to do a few track days this year. as far as the update I have whole room of parts sitting and waiting to be put on.

-Sportlines
-Momo steering wheel with Quick release
-CSF Radiator
-Wilwood 6 piston brake with 13' rotor and BBK rear kit

Clipse3GS · 03/05/2009, 04:18 PM

I Installed the CSF radiator today together with some of the OBX red radiator houses. it looks good but somehow the cap from radiator is touching the hood underneat creating a bigger gap/ Anyone have any idea why???

Here is a little update...

Clipse3GS · 03/21/2009, 12:28 PM

Newest upgrade for Auto-X and looks....

Clipse3GT · 03/21/2009, 01:32 PM

You better start cracking on your car or it will never be done for AutoX.

Controls???

I just got them today so I will test fit them Sunday. They look really cool in persona and I was suprised

.

I am doing the timing belt next weekend and Exhaust will be put on at the same time so If I dont finish the header/tune work before first Auto-X I will have to race the way it is.

Kris whenever gets warm we have to do the Gauges at least some of them and I gotta get that Oil cooler from you bud.

CloudINC00 · 03/21/2009, 06:16 PM

Rear disc conversion arrived today so whole brake set-up should be done next week

catch-me · 03/27/2009, 08:44 AM

hey man its looking good. oh, by the way, the radiator i bought from you didn't work cause I have and auto and the trany cooler is in the radiator. I never even thought of that when i bought it from you.

ahhh you didn't mentioned to me otherwise I would tell u it wont work. I think you can do separate tranny cooler...should run you somewhere around 60 bucks

catch-me · 03/30/2009, 10:35 AM

I didn't think about doing the separate cooler until after the body guy ordered a new radiator so yea.... Anyway, If anyone needs a stock manual radiator send me a pm or it will be in the forsale section sometime this week.

stilwrks · 03/30/2009, 06:05 PM

Regards radiator cap fitment!

Notice you have a CF hood, so what I had to do was carve out under the hood in that area until the hood fit flush!

Hope that helped??/

A bit worse for wear but I produced that kit for someone many years ago now. Those are 13-1.10 with the optional BSL6 (likely n model) calipers. Pretty straight forward stuff but seen some duty. Parts readily available for it any time.

Rears are not mine.

Clipse3GS · 04/03/2009, 12:06 PM

Well. Cleveland is getting punded with some shitty weather and my backing plates didnt show up this week so I'm standing with not finished car and 17 days untill first auto-X

Here are couple of pics ...\

Looks good, hopefully youll have it done by the 19th.

Clipse3GT Ah yes... Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Cleveland, OH Vehicle: 00 GT RIPP STG.3 & EVO X Posts: 10,866	On my GT Emil, I run about 203-205F with my CSF radiator, even with just one stock fan. I would say first replace the radiator with dual core, then worry about fans if the radiator doesn't do the trick in the first place. Also you might not be overheating, it might a faulty sensor as well. That coolant temp gauge in our cars is a dumbu gauge. You really have no idea what temp the coolant is unless you would hook up a digital readout to the sensor that goes to the ECU itself.

Of course the only time I can read it is on the long straight, just too busy otherwise! __________________ COLDWELL BANKER RESIDENTIAL BROKER "I'LL ALWAYS HAVE TIME FOR YOUR REFERRALS" 2000 Mitsi.

catch-me Head Swap Baby!!! Join Date: Aug 2007 Location: Zeeland, MI Posts: 349	I didn't think about doing the separate cooler until after the body guy ordered a new radiator so yea.... Anyway, If anyone needs a stock manual radiator send me a pm or it will be in the forsale section sometime this week.

stilwrks Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2003 Location: Arizona Vehicle: 00' GT 5 spd Posts: 3,086	Regards radiator cap fitment! Notice you have a CF hood, so what I had to do was carve out under the hood in that area until the hood fit flush! Hope that helped??/ __________________ COLDWELL BANKER RESIDENTIAL BROKER "I'LL ALWAYS HAVE TIME FOR YOUR REFERRALS" 2000 Mitsi. Eclipse GT 5 spd. # 310 TTD

Todd TCE Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Posts: 36	[QUOTE=Clipse3GS;2582507] [IMG][/IMG] A bit worse for wear but I produced that kit for someone many years ago now. Those are 13-1.10 with the optional BSL6 (likely n model) calipers. Pretty straight forward stuff but seen some duty. Parts readily available for it any time. Rears are not mine.
