wut can i remove from the engine bay? rats nests/emmissions are gone so far. thinking about removing a/c and maybe p/s,



wut else is there? windshield wipers and fuild tank? cold start assist fuild near firewall? there's gotta be more ****. any suggestions? asking for common things removed from a 7 to i guess lighten it, though i just want a nice clean car and a nice clean engine bay, barren of useless **** like windshield wiper fluid.



i wanna keep the car drivable and more or less street legal.

You could relocate the battery, remove the stock fan and shroud and put in an e-fan. Neither of these lightens the car but does clean up the engine bay.

Street legal? I think you eliminated that by taking off the emissions. But besides that, you could replace that heavy *** steel hood if you have that on there still. Back seats/storage bins you could take out too. Spare tire, and if you wanted that high performance look, you could gut the insulation. Makes for an interesting driving experience...

hrm street legal was the wrong word...i meant drivable. like i dun want to remove important **** like spare (whoops flat tire, anyone got 100 bux for a tow?) and bins are nice, i put my magical fairies in there.



yea, steel hood is heavy as **** and i wanna get rid of that, but i was thinkin of smaller things in the engine bay that clutter **** up. im def going with an e-fan set up, and ditching the shroud. thanks for that suggestion.



anything else?
