its the big wavy metal part in the door.

you need to cut them out. unless you have a roll cage, i HIGHLY recommend AGAINST cutting these out. you will just have flimsy ass sheetmetal between you and some gigantic SUV.

they put those in there for a reason... i only cut mine out after adding a bunch of bars to my roll cage (x-brace AND kojima's "crash attenuator").

here's what the side impact looks like:

yeah, my friend got hit in the drivers door in his b14, I thinkn the only thing that kept him from being crushed was the steel beam, the entire door is wrapped around the beam.

What sort of sunroof do you mean? how did it seal if it is removable?

Where did you get this from? did you order it from somewhere?

Flip top sunroofs are the ones that you can only open by pushing them up (not slide back). I did some searching and Fig bought his from Pepboys.

how do you guys cut off the wheel well?

and what metal brace is everyone talking about under the steering whel?

",brace under steering wheel"

Se-R 420

what weighs less a carbon fiber trunk lid or a fiberglass?

edit: the people at liuspeed told me CF was less.

Se-R 420

does anyone have pics of a b14's interior with no ceiling mat, what are the brackets doing that ae for the "oh sh*t" handles, can these be removed?

edit: these can both be removed fro the rear, the metal brackets and all weigh less then a pound each ***.

also where can i order an aftermarket sunroof from?

~KnuckleDuster~

Theres 26 pages of good information. read through all of it before asking question like that.

Se-R 420

ive read through it all, why do you think i have such specific questions?

i saw multiple people mention some weight under the steering wheel but im not sure what there talking about

There's a stamped steel reinforcement/impact piece right above your knees. First, remove the plastic cover (take the fuse cover thingy off fist, and remove the entire plastic shroud that lies underneath the steering column).

Then, you'll see the large sheetmetal structure that basically covers the entire underside of the driver's side dash. You have about 7 10mm head bolts to remove and then you simply yank it down and out. Don't pull too hard since your "timing computer" is attached to a stud on the left hand side of the plate. Take a 10mm deep socket and remove the bolt from the stud and the module wil be free. Now use one of the leftover bolts and re-secure the module to the now free bracket hols left open by the now missing stamped steel support piece.

There you have it, easy weight removal...spelled out for you.

Maybe this pic will help. See the far left of the pic? Its that curved metal piece that is directly under the steering column AND the sheetmetal it is attatched to:

Probably not a bad Idea, although I dont think it would save much weight.

You can cut out the wheel well with a sawzall. I used it to cut almost all the metal parts out of my car because those rotor tools suck ass.
