thats about the driver,and nothing to do with the car. If the same driver with the same but lighter car will always run the better time.

Weight reduction is greatly help on:
-acceleration
-quickness
-handling
-breaking
-fuel economy

Basically makes the car much more nimble.

 

the dash can't be that heavy...i would rather have it than that eyesore if I would sit in it for extended periods of time.

 

You can also cut most of the weight out of the dash with some clever dremel action. We wound up doing this to help cut down on glare on sunny days.

 

the dashboard only ways about 10 pounds. Not enough to make me want to pull it out.

 

That's awesome!
How much did you get it for? That thing still drives just fine.

 

I've thought about it (just removed audio and all wires) and I know it will eventually happen but every other car I've owned I've gutted(and was still street driven) so I'll wait awhile longer on the Evo. I'm a fan of a pure driving experience some people just aren't.

 

I have learned my lesson with pulling out A/C out of any car ever again. This past year I got to drive my talon to the shootout, and of course I pulled out the A/C because of a locked up unit. Well needless to say it was hot all week long, and the drive home was misurable. I got rain half way back to Michigan and humidity was through the roof. I will not pull the A/C out of the evo when i get it thats for sure. Seriously think twice about how much you use it on hot days, or sitting in traffic on hot days and you will be supprised how it does come in handy.

 

Lol
I used to live in Houston TX with no A/C in my Mustang...
I admit is was comfortable, but I survived.
Wasn't really all that bad, all said and done...

 

Too me 100lbs just an't worth it, heck it's only a 10th in the quarter mile anyway.

 

I think the definition of 'Ricey' is more along the lines of Gaudy, Heavy, SLOW, and UGLY...


IMHO, I don't believe an Evo fails under any of those descriptions, gutted or not...

Well, there are some guys who still tack on slightly outrageous body kits or odd colored interior trim pieces, but for the most part Evo's stay about as un-ricey as a car from Japan can get!

 

ftw

 

Before you do any of that with your car, you may want to give me the $150 you have been promising me over and over since you sold me a damaged turbo. Not to mention you keep telling me money is tight, yet you talk about making these big purchases. Why don't you square your deals away first.

 

lol that would be crazy

 

Dont gut the car, if its not a drag car than do not do it!!! for a few reasons, its too loud with a full interior, its ****ing ugly as hell, and you wont feel the difference from a few pounds so if you want to make your car lighter just do some suspension work and exterior work.

 

Just like if he had an amp and never used the radio why keep it??
I didn't use my ac too for the past I think three years now, remove it if you don't use it.
