what are some *free* mods?
Well since I'm free today,
I'm in the *mood* to work on my rex
so whats something I can do?
Like a mod I can do that doesn't require buying anything...
or something that I can remove I dont need
or something to clean out
or something to rebuild (small- like a carb)
just something I should do....
yea... you know what I mean.
**and yes, I know I dont have a carb**
**Just something small like that**

You can make one less trip each week to the all night burrito place that should cut off a few pounds and that’s FREE J/K
If you have some ATF you could do an ATF flush to loosen up those apex seals. That would help restore some compression and help the longevity. I see that in your sig you have a rebuild but the ATF flush is always a good thing!

The Cause of Death
Take out your air pump, block off your ACV. Take off A/C and power steering if you don't use or like them. Take out your spare tire and jack if you're feeling daring. Remove your evaporator if you don't use the A/C and want to be gangster.
Take out **** you don't need. Full emissions removal would be nice, and would clean up the bay. It's not "free" but it is cheap (relatively), relocate the battery to a storage bin.
Use your imagination, yo.

Undo the 4 bolts to the catalytic concerter. Grab the first broom in sigh and start busting out all the honey comb mesh inside the cat until it is nice and hollow and clean from broken peices inside the cat.
Then bolt it right back.
Remember, if you live in a place with heavy emissions, i would not do this mod.
should take you like 15 mins.

Okay, if you want weight reduction, and a little increased noise doesnt bother you (noise could be reduced with dynamat, but dont have any yet)
Remove your seats, remove your kick plates, remove your headliner and your trim pieces, remove your speakers, remove your jackstand/tire, remove the package straps, remove the fiberglass tubs, or the seats, whichever you have. Remove your carpet, and replace your seats. Seats are a 14mm, seat belts are 16, dash is 10, headliner and interior can be removed with a screwdriver, some pressure, and common sense.
Buy a different battery, so you have 3/8"s terminals, instead of the giant *** 1" ones. Replace the connectors so that you get a nice solid clamp, and its not wiggling around. Wont corrode as easily either, if you get the marine connectors. Make sure you crimp that stuff right though, i believe the stock wiring is a 6 or a 4 AWG.
You could remove the blower motor, the AC, the AC pump, the heater core (and then just go to home depot and buy some rubber hose of the same type that is already there, and run it all the way round the engine to complete the coolant circut)
You could remove the arm rest on the door panel if you would like, though it kinda holds the door panel up.
That some of the stuff ive done, (AC delete, and all the removal stuff) I dont know how it is in gainsville, but untill i make this a towed track only car, im not messing with my emissons stuff.
