OK so today me and my cousin were bored so i decided to take out some unwanted parts from behind the dash.. the Blower Unit and Heater Unit and also i added a new set of gauges let me know what you think











WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY GAUGES?

 

Nice guages, what are you gonna do if you need heat?

 

heat? im in southern cali.. its usually hot here lol.. dont need it..

 

different story in northern cali, so i need my heat and a/c. not something i would do

 

Good point I guess, how much weight you save anyways?

 

ill let you know tomorrow cuz im tired as hell right now from work.. so ill post up a pic with all that crap on a scale..

 

lol, not to poke too much fun but, you are taking things out for weigh reduction and adding things like eyebrows and gauge face plates.

To each his own.

 

got a pic of the car with the dash and stuff back on?
you should look under the hood too, there's lots of stuff under there that wastes weight, such as the intake (the huge stock intake design, replace it with an sri) and the exhaust manifold heat shield. heatshields under the car too.
so you removed the a/c parts from under the hood too then, i'm guessing?

 

ya another weak weight reduction thread..... i dont get it! you remove parts from the vehicle to make it seem faster but yet you are also depriciating the value of the car greatly!
if you try to sell the car most people are not going to want it because they want some heat or AC or hell even a breeze with the windows up with just the blower running....

to each there own.... but i think its stupid as hell IMO

i know this is only the 1st step.... next will be door panels, back seats, all the trim panels, hell even stock sound deadening and then move into the bumper impact bars all to get what 1-2MPG more or afew HP more and a 10th of a second off drag time....
hell just remove the whole freaken dash and just leave the wires on the cluster and zip tie the cluster to the metal bracing.... ive seen it done before!

im not trying to be a d**k but IMO its just stupid as hell. people get in your car and are stuck at a stop light with no breeze with the windows down....hey turn on the air, nope i dont have a blower anymore.LOL


better off save yourself some huge weight and chop the top loose the glass....

weight reduction < stock comforts IMO

 

addiction the car has 216 xxx miles, you wouldn't get much for it anyways if it were stock. And that civic should get burned, well maybe the guy inside of it.
