*Official Weight Reduction thread*

[92acclude]

Bristol Dyno, on their corner weighting scales. very interesting to see where weight goes if you move stuff around or add your own body weight to the car.

Now you need to get coilovers and adjust while on the corner weights. I would LOVE to be able to do that.

[92acclude]

I have coilovers.

I just didn't feel like messing with it that day.

where did you get yours weighed @? one of those truck stop places on the state border?

I posted this a few pages back, but I weighed my car at the local landfill. I just went up there and asked them some bs question like how late they were open then looked at the scale while I was talking to him. Most of the ones I've seen have a scale you have to drive through so you can see your weight and best of all it's free.

a/c removal?

i didn't read all 12 pages of the thread, but got on the thread hoping to find some instruction on removing the a/c generator, piping and all the other crap that goes with it. if there is a thread on this, and you know the link, mind posting it? thanks

well first, id recommend getting the system drained at a professional place so that they can dispose of it properly.

umm, start by removing the compressor first and then condensor and then the majority of the lines will come out.

the evaporator i tihnk, is in the glove compartment.
there is one more piece near the cruise control that has more lines going from it.

it's easier when you have the alternator and radiatotor out.

remmeber to get a alternator belt from a DX (cuz those didnt have a/c)

ok once you pull the A/C what belt size do you need to pull the alternator and crank pulley...fuck power steering.i yanked mine out....what belt size do you use?

[accrdpower]

yea i am thinking bout yanking the a/c out along with the cruise control while i am at it.....as the weight of it all (a/c and cruise control i am hoping to loose what liek 75lbs or so? sound right?) but anyway, i was cleaning out my car yesterday and decided to see how much all my crap weighed. now granted i had 2 subs in the back, a book bag, a handheld tool box, and some misc stuff.....all in all wighed in at around 142lbs......i took it all out and then drove through town and on the highway, and damn....it;s amazing at what the difference was. the weight was reduced from the trunk and backseat. first time i really did anything for weight reduction and i am very pleased.....i hope to shed another 200 lbs by the end of the summer with a few removals. and maybe more if i get some cf products.

and the idea about using the waste managent scale is great....kudos!

No, I did not forget. I pretty much took out the seats to give the interior a well needed cleaning.
