Pretty interesting, I guess I'm not the only one with missing plastic covers on there ignition coils :D

I wonder how much the 3.0L weighs probably the same but then how big is the difference between the auto and manual? I've heard anywhere from 60-100lbs

I took the covers off.

The manual transmission will be much lighter.

I dont support any info like this without the sufficient proof, unless you have something to show me?

Crank pistons and rods are the differences, that cannot be a large difference from .2L in displacement.

Off topic, but wanting to chime in. I also took of my Plenum Covers (what the Honda tech called them when I took it in for maintenance). Dead weight (not much, I know) and better ventilation for the engine heat to escape.
Oh yeah of course :)

Its just style and maybe some small amount of noise suppression

Yeah I doubt theres a big difference between the 3.2 and 3.0 theres a much bigger difference between the manual and auto which Im looking foward too :D

He said you are missing pieces, doesn't matter how precise your scale is if you forgot to tie everything to the rope :p

To begin with the first damn post says there are certain things not on there.

You want to know the weight of other things go do that your self.

ENGINE WEIGHT it says, not complete engine, I dont care for oem parts being on there as I'm not going to even use the cast manifolds on there.
