Haha yea its awesome. I wonder what people think when they buy there flooring back in the 60s. My downstairs is being re modeled and the floor is last to go. I picked up some carpet but I'm not using it until the painting is done and this floor is ripped up.

More data, good for those few out there interested in creating a kinematic model of the rear suspension.
Everything here is from the rear, one side only. As always, +/-0.2 lbs

i need help from someone who has a dash in the car. or at least know's what i am asking for.
i can not remember or figure out what these arms hold up or bolt too. i circled what i am asking one of you guys to go to your car and look at. you will need to remove the lower plastic cover ''where your knee's are when your sitting in the car''
i modified mine and im thinking i can just remove them. but i do not remember if there is a need for them.

Delete the pieces you have circled.
I removed some misc crap under the hood of the RS I won't ever use again today. The strut tower bracket, A/C line bracket, Air bag brackets and clutch line bracket..........now I have to sad it and paint it where I took the spot welds out, it's way more work than I wanted to do for .9 pounds..............but it is 410 grams and that's a lot! hahahahah
BTW, that is what happens when you drink beer with Curt Brown!

as for those bits you just removed i am sure that cleaned it up beautifully too.
david did you pull your RS heater core? do you know if the evo's with ac and rs without a/c used the same core's or is the RS lighter. if you removed yours do you want to sell it?

They have to be the same, all US RS's came with A/C. Are you able to pull the A/C and still have the heater work? If not then I imported the JDM non-A/C stuff for my car so I could keep the heater and delete the A/C like it was suppose to be in the first place. If that's the case I can sell you the same parts I used.
