Weight Reduction

yeah i would never take anything out like that. my ac doesnt work becuase it costs like 60 bucks to fill it. so i disconnected the belt. thats about all im willling to do.

[sideshow]

mine was stuffed, no cold air blown and i figured it was cheaper to remove it all for free than pay 60 for something i didnt use anyways. i took out everything except the cooling unit which is on my to do list. i also took off the nuts for the lines going into the car and put some aluminum foil inside them to seal them off and just tightened them down so nothing gets in the car.

the lines going into the car go to the cooling unit. which is kinda like a small radiator, sorta. no chance of crap getting in your car.

60 pounds wont do anything that you could notice, only a computer would be able to...if that. so its really not worth it. unless you like taking **** off of your car....just leave the interior in so when...or actually IF you get some fine girl to ride with you. then she wont make fun of you and think your some ghetto person that cant afford the interior... not really worth it IMO. but its your car and your reputation(if you have one) thats at stake.

60 pounds is quite a bit. if your trying to lose weight then every little bit helps.

mabey like a half of a 1/10th of a second

and an extra little bit of horsepower, one less belt to have to replace, and a lot less **** to deal with if you needed it fixed, so F it, its gone. and my fine girlfriend dont care one bit

[tonynalli]

how your FOAM back seats weigh 40 lbs.

[mynismo]

there are brackets, bolts, bottom seats and top seats. they all add up... go weigh them yourself. i was also counting an additional 5 or so lbs of trim in the car... my whole back is gutted.
