I've used those home depot rubber elbows and they survived sitting right next to the hf mani and 16 psi boost spikes. They would pop off every now and then, I just clamped them on harder.

 

Today I droped my car off at http://www.trickengineering.com/
The work im getting done is a head gasket, timing belt, and water pump replacement, Arp head studs, new dp with cat, tune, and fix my mother ------- oil leak.

Also, 1900-1800lbs is achieved through gutting the back taking out seats and all panels including back speakers, taking out passenger seat, and spare, cf hood someday, 1/4 gas, and maybe a lighter battery and youve got 1900-1800lbs.

 

no it wont.

 

Oh forgot to mention. I have a dx hatchback with no power locks or windows, no power steering, no ac, no wind shield wiper resivior. So maybe with the turbo kit included now 2000lbs.

 

i was just saying from 2300 taking all the ---- you listed above will not in any way get close to 400 lbs of weight reduction. I was amazed when i had to remove the interior from my car. all plastic, seats and all couldnt have weighed more than 30 pounds.

 

word.. youi just cant loost aht much weight from that ---- go for your under dash ac evap coil heater and that wont be enough just get more ponies under the hood.

 

 

let's see pics of it finished when you get it back.

 

Taking off your alternator adds 30 whp.
