ok i did a search for weight reduction and it was ridiculous they are taking out the freakin doors and fenders and ****...is there anything like normal i can do to lose a few pounds here and there without tearing apart the whole car??

 

A/C
PS
emissions equipment(provided you still abide by the law )
sound deadening material (have fun with that one)
no fat friends
go to the gym and stop eating at McD's

 

Remove:

Airpump and ACV Assembly
AC
Powersteering
Rear Seats, Trim, and Carpet
Remove the sound proofing undernieth the carpet

uuuuuummmmmmmm............I can't think of any others right now.

 

i already have the rear bins removed and i didn't out anything else in in place of it....so i have the whole back of the car inside taken out...what does the airpump do...what would happen if i took it out?

 

Damn, I'm screwed twice over...

 

I beleive it is emission stuff. Maybe you wont pass smog if tyou take it out? I am not 100% positive.

If you have a s4 (86-88) then the air pump is needed for the cats. So if you get rid of emmisions stuff, you won't need it. If you have a S5 (89-92) then you need the air pump to actuate the 5th and 6th ports.

PS: I got this info from the racing beat full exhaust install instructions. (So its valid)

 

AL hood
remove stereo
manual steering
remove excess wiring
lexan glass for doors and rear
lexan sun roof
change to lighter seats (? not sure which ones)
manual windows
remove spare tire and jack
lighter rims
less gas in tank

 

Leave your spare tire and jack in there, walking sucks. You can take it out when you get to the track.....

 

the one thing i was thinking of doing was putting a diff hood on as i know the one i have is wicked heavy but the turbo II are too expensive and i can't find any anyway so i guess im stuck where i am for now

 

remove ac?
how? and what?

 

If you have money you can get a CF hood

I have a partialy remover ac system but I still need to get rid of the condenser thing. YOu just remove the AC pump and lines and the pully left over afterwards. Also the Dryer thing. To remove the Radiator looking thing you need to move the oil cooler out of the way or the radiator. and there is another thin under the dash but I don't want to tak off my dash

 

I will also be converting to a manual steering rack later to get rid of the pump and bracket.

Remove the audio equipment like the amps and speakers. the center console and the glovebox lid the inside door panels.

 

thats a nice hood but the problem remains that i don't have any money hahaha

 

yeah it is a lot of $$$

 

mmm....those CF hoods look mighty tempting.

 

I have a NEW AL NA hood FOR SALE!!!

Cool but I don't really need it yet. just the pully for now. but if you still have it like in a couple of months I might buy it off of you.

 

The TII hood looks a bit iffy around the school area. Looks like the weave of the carbon is a little... funky. I have heard that from someone who has seen it in person too.

For $600 I'd want something very nice. :shrug:
