I can assure you guys, you do NOT want to remove the power steering on an EVO.

Once I do my 5 spd swap & Non-ACD t-case the car will be around 2975 with a 1/4 tank of gas & without driver. That's with full interior, AC, PS, ABS, OEM hood & trunk, OEM front cross member & mustache bar, etc. Remember I have an MR also. I still need to send my t-case out to be built & buy a clutch so I can't really be spending $$ on light weight parts right now.

Haha, I can't get myself to remove the dash YET. Tar sound deadening is gone & I cut away some of the mat from behind the dash. There is still probably 2/3 of it behind the dash & I haven't touched firewall mat in the engine bay yet. Damn it Dan, HVAC is not coming out yet!

All the EGR/EVAP sh*t is gone, including the hard EGR line that runs to the rear. I already feel the peer pressure! I know if I stop by your place this week/weekend so I can check out what your working on now & so you can check out my seats, I'm gonna wanna pull my dash out, damn you!

Just got my NRG buckets. I'll have to get a weight on them when I get my brackets fabbed up.
I hope to drop about 40 lbs with swapping out the seats.

That is pretty funny I just pulled the same harness tonight haha. I also pulled the fuse box out in prep to move it inside the car and remove all the junk not used anymore.
