Today we lost 50 pounds at least. More to come tomorrow when the sound deadening goes bye bye.
We lost:
A lot of air ducting behind the dash
An HVAC box
Two airbags
A heater core and a lot of ugly coolant line
A blower motor
Lots and lots of screws
Oh, when shall my plate arrive

Take out EVERYTHING between the motor and the seats, minus the steering column. Drivers bag is easy, passenger is under the inner dash, HVAC box is under everything.
X: It wont be my daily driver for too much longer. Silly to afford the MPG it gets, and I try not to hit shit when I drive, it wont be a race car. Yet. We'll see what happens when my loan goes through and the new motor can be put in,,, you know, I have to outdo whatever Bo's up to.

I could probably live without AC in my daily driver, cause I use it very rarely anyways. No defrost or heat is another story entirely, can't live without that.

Gonna miss defrost the most.... but I wont mind every time I have to change tha back two plugs on the passenger side... there's like an extra 8 inches of room now.

I will never own another vehicle without A/C unless its *only* duty is track/racing. If I drive it on the street it must keep its A/C. I did the sparse interior/have only what is absolutely necessary thing before. I won't do it again, I'm just not that hardcore a racer I guess.

Better keep some paper towels handy because its humid as fuck down there in the summer. And when it rains, forget it, just take the females car.

That's when I have to have AC, when it rains in the summertime. Windows fog, and it gets hotter than hell with the windows closed. Windows open, you and your car get wet. I think I'll keep things like they are until my car is a total trailer queen. Besides I'm pretty sure 11's are there now, and 10's is only a motor, roll cage, and a little juice away. :D

Hopefully I'll have a beater in a few weeks for the rainy days :D, but if i drive, the windows are down, so humidity can lick my nuts. Its funny, because without the dash in, I could do the back two passenger plugs from the passenger seat. :p

Remove starter. Get them from under the car. Use a spark plug socket with a box wrench, unless you have a fancy O-socket with a hole in the ratchet like I do. A little extra time to remove the starter, but worth it in frustration points.

maybe im the only one who thinks this way, but when you remove all kinds of stuff like that, can you really say you have a camaro that runs (fill in the blank) time? its more like you have a chassis that runs the time. if i ever run a time, its gonna be full weight that way there is no despute to what my car runs. its almost like cheating kinda? i dont know, thats just my opinion on it. nobody has to except it but its just another way to think about it. :shrug:

Cheating? :wtf: If it runs the time, it runs the time. If it was a backhalf tube chassis car thats something else entirely. Weight reduction, on the other hand, is your friend.
There are three ways to go fast.
Horsepower
Suspension
Weight
Take your pick. Oh wait, your LS1 is barely out of the 14s. Time to get your priorities straight.

guess what, unlike you i pick number 1. Barely out of the 14's?? Last time i checked 13.7 wasnt "barely." That was bone stock in August heat and i guess because you ran a good time you can all of a sudden talk all this crap.

I ran 13.7 stock without gods motor, and it would appear you dont have a whole lot of number one, even if that's what you pick :96s10: :lol:

Im sorry but weight loss is not cheating. Its a free mod and ppl use it at will. Give me some traction and a decent driver and my old car would be right at 13.7 stock. Its not all about the motor LS1 or LT1. Driver has big part to do with it well atleast the 6 speed ppl. :flip2: :taunt:

Thats the funny thing. The car never ever had a problem when it was at the track or anything or when i was racing street or track. Just normal everyday cruising 50 down t-ville just got me. I dunno what was up :shrug:

im done argueing. this is a stupid arguement to have. obviously several people on this forum cant except the opinions and views of another person. immediately when someone brings up a different point of view they are attacked. my post was not directed at any person, and i did not make any personal statements until people started attacking me personally which is totally wrong. keep doing it if you want, i really dont care, just be prepared to have it right back at you.
