appears that the weight of the manis and j-pipe are a wash between stock and the header...23.1lb for the wrapped header and 23.8lb for the stock stuff....hopefully their will be enough of a power gain to make it worth while.

cadillac wheels....who'd a thunk it? 17x8...same as the tl wheels....same bolt pattern (obviously)...not hubcentric but neither are the wheels I run on my civic-no issue....offset is off by a couple mm...no interference with anything....but the best part...stock tl wheels-25ish pounds...these caddy wheels barely 20lb...20.15 to be exact....it is a budget build with parts I have at my autowrecker...seems like a win to me!

did a little work today...replaced motor mounts with home-made solid mounts...front mount was a complete reconstruction...rear and side just needed some plate welded in...new front mount only weighs 2.1lb ...as you vcan see fron the stock mount weight I managed to shed a few more pounds...plate added less than 1/2 pound to the other mounts and since everything is nice and solid there is no need to put the torque dampeners and brackets back in...even allows more room to work without all that crap under the hood.

ordered seat mount bracket from Planted...ordered for accord coupe...should fit....if not I will make it work...fire suppression system also in transit...seat belts and window net came in last week...just about time to start caging this thing!
