Whats up Guys,
I am going to be doing an engine swap soon, basically replacing my tired engine with a younger one. I am leaving the AC off, and am wondering what else i don't really need. such as the zero below starting whaterver it is, and all the Auto-Adjust Suspension stuff. I really want to keep the power steering though. Thanks for your help. Matt22

 

air pump and ACV can go. Not sure what else really.

 

Front and rear tow plates, front brake ducts, dashboard steel reinforcement, AC condensor under dash, CPU mount plate (requires moving the CPU to the firewall), rear sway bar if you have enough oversteer to balance it out, front bumper reinforcement, misc. brackets in engine bay, misc. electrical cables going to auto adjust suspension components, windshield decal (joking ), passenger compartment tar sound deadening (about 20 pounds), etc. etc.

I have taken all this stuff off my FC because it is down for an engine job.

 

hey Jeff
do you still have your stock rims,
I am looking for a set for my Corolla,
let me know lates Matt22

 

Yes, I have them and they are off my car. I was saving them for Isaac but he found some so if you want them, you can have them. Two of four tires are good.

if you're looking to go lightweight you're going to need a ton of stickers. One of those huge aluminum spoilers also helps.
Taking out the ac is about as much as I'd do. You could take out the spare too but you're going to feel like a dumbass when you get a flat. In my opinion, unless you're building the car for racing, just leave the stuff in. It'll only get a little faster, and your driving comfort will suffer.

Ton of stickers, I personally dont see any problem in displaying company logos in moderation of course, on my car. and a huge aluminum wing Wow they actually don't look terrible on 7's . As for the spare with the 3 sets of rims i have for my 7 I don't have the stock spare. but soon I shall get a spare. Until then I will be what 8 lbs faster. lates Matt22

 

I read the above link again, is this really a good idea, I mean if I had a first gen or and Carbed engine I would do this but has anyone else done this and what were the benefits. Thanks Matt22

 

Ok So I am reading that link again, and it seems that is was a write up on a Turbo model, will this in any way effect my NA car by doing it? Thanks for you feedback. Lates Matt22
