Weight Reduction Day!

Searching for some meat on the bone I realized I still had all the padding behind the dash. I also never removed the wiring and computer for the SRS system. While everything was apart Took out the HVAC I heard there was another AC condenser in there. While taking everything apart realized I still had the dash speakers.

Heres the SRS wiring from the rear of the car and dash area, only snipped off the sensors in the engine area didn't want to splice open those harnesses. The main challenge is these wires are integrated into the main harnesses instead of being separate. Also some of the speaker wiring from the dash and door

Got 4lbs from all that




Next was taking out the dash to get to the HVAC motors. Dont want to get into how I accomplished this but a major PIA to get to that Sound deading and scrape out the tar

Got 4.5lbs from that




While the HVAC was out took out the second AC condesor out

That was 2.75 lbs



also took out the front speakers good for 1.25 lbs and also did a few "speed holes" on the dash beam.




Grand total of 12.5 lbs most of it from the front dash area!! This should equal out the weight ive added recently with bracing and the Injen intake.
