I agree.. Some people go a little overboard with that stuff. How much power/weight could ps and ac really give? I SERIOUSLY doubt it would be worth the trouble.

Other possibilities being fibreglass or CF hood, fibreglass fenders, lexan windows, and the heater core removal.

the only way id go that far is if i was going to build an all out racecar, sorry guys, but i want my damn a/c, it gets 1o5+ out here, and thats without the humidity, so like i said, unless its going to be a weekend race car only, and not a daily driver, i wouldnt consider it

Heater core is a pain to remove... but i'd say 10-15 lbs. or so.

so if s14s have a stronger bottom end, but same compression ratio, why doesnt anyone recomend that it would be safer/better to turbo an s14 instead of the s13. or does it not make any difference. really just asking if the s14 can handle a turbo a lot better than an s13.
