Yeah, it is exciting. I am still a little nervous about the new set up though, because it is a bit outside of my comfort zone. But it should be very fun. I can't wait to see what elton does tuning wise. And to finally have a solid build will be nice. The numbers mean nothing to me at this point.

Well class was canceled today. So I decided to remove some more of my rear interior such as the panels, seat belts, etc. It was so dusty behind the panels so I decided to clean everything, which led to me detailing my interior. Looks ok. Really wanting to remove that sound deadening crap. One of these days I will pick up some dry ice and get to it, but not enough free time right now.

you can literally just do it while you study or something. I was super bored when i did mine.Well class was canceled today.

Yeah maybe. I am thinking about just waiting until winter break. It is only 7 weeks away. Not like I have any events to do between now and then. I plan on removing it all at once, including that stupid rubber foam mat on the fire wall and weighing it to see how much I shaved. However I plan on putting my carpet back in after it is all removed. My goal is to make the front cockpit look stockish/streetable(except for race seats eventually), but the rest of it racecar hah.

The quest to shave weight here and there continues:
I was bored and thinking of more free ways to save weight, and I remembered about whats left of the AC unit under the dash. So I decided to gut my evaporator box. That way I can still have a working heater but not the dead weight of the evaporator. There was a ton of dirt and leaves and other crap inside of it.
There was also this strange looking device behind my glove box. It was all ghetto wired in. I am not sure what it is, but it looks like some sort of old gps device. Has a little back up battery, antenna and everything.
All in all it was around 8-10lbs shaved off. Not bad for a $0 and only 20 minutes of work.

Thats including the foam/rubber matting from the fire wall? Mine is soaked in brake brake fluid so I know it has to be fairly heavy hah.
Last Night when I was taking out the evaporator I removed my glove box and was surprised by how heavy it actually was. So today I thought I would see why it is so heavy for a glove box And this is what I came across:
Huge metal plate just chillin inside. Also had some metal pieces on the sides that serve no purpose other than to add weight I guess... lol So I gutted my glove box too.
I know it isn't much, I think it was like 3 pounds at most, but it all adds up lol.
Also my passenger window doesn't work today. I can't figure out why. Also can't figure out how anything I did yesterday could have caused it to stop working. I tried plugging the evaporator back in thinking maybe the wiring is stupid, but that didn't work either...
