Got bored today!

**celipunk** · 03-06-2010, 04:15 PM

Well I was bored this morning so here's what I did to my st184
Today.
1. Removed cruise control and rerouted throttle cable around
The back of the motor to hook up directly to the tb.

2. Removed a/c compressor and lines. Short-belted alternator.

3. Rerouted fuse box under the hood.

4. Removed stock intake box from fender and rerouted the cai filter
Into the fender.

5. Removed the 2 inch lift I had put on the hood and made it right at
3/4 of a lift.

6. Removed back seat and spare tire.

I will be posting a link for pictures here shortly. I'm waiting on my
Settlement to come in and then the 5sgte project will be underway!

Any comments? Lol. The only reason I post pics of what I do is to
Inspire other owners to get out there and do things to their cars. :)
These are simple things that anyone can do! O and sorry about the pic
Sizes. I do everything on my blackberry. Don't have a comp. :(

**akley88** · 03-06-2010, 07:07 PM

that ac compressor is nice and heavy isnt it

**celipunk** · 03-06-2010, 07:19 PM

Its not too bad I guess. I'm used to working on freightliners and cat
Trucks so the parts seem to be A LOT lighter on an automobile. Lol

**akley88** · 03-06-2010, 07:48 PM

how much weight did you remove out of the car with all that stuff yanked

**celipunk** · 03-06-2010, 07:58 PM

Well if I had to guess with all of it combined probally 70lbs.

subspec · 03-06-2010, 08:45 PM

Prob a good 70 to 80 lbs.

**celipunk** · 03-06-2010, 08:57 PM

I had good guess then! ;). How's the build coming along sub? Get any more
Parts in yet?

subspec · 03-06-2010, 09:21 PM

not yet. i got about 95% of my parts need. on the 15th ill get paid again and then crank gets sent to the machinest shop. im waiting also on my buddy he said he would do a port and polish on my head for a 6 pack. he just needs certain tools lol. all i need now is maybe 4 or 5 more parts then im done. with the motor section at least lol. ima contact edo to see whats the status of my cam gears due to being back ordered.

subspec · 03-06-2010, 09:30 PM

im not sure if you did this or not but you could also remove the ac condenser and all the lines. that should remove another good 10-15 lbs. the ac condenser looks like a radiator and is in front of the radiator. just fyi. if you removed your ac compressor theres no need for it anymore. also i just noticed you just used washer for your spacer huh? lol

**celipunk** · 03-06-2010, 09:36 PM

That's good news. I'm tempted to drive 1 mile down the road to
Pick up a 3sge header but the owner wants $200 for it!!!

subspec · 03-06-2010, 09:37 PM

i got one i can sell you for 100+shipping.

**celipunk** · 03-06-2010, 09:48 PM

Hmmm.. Interesting. How much you think shipping would be?

**celipunk** · 03-06-2010, 09:54 PM

Question sub. Would you install the existing cat with the
3sge header or leave it off? Ima have all new exhaust piping
Welded on with a new magnaflow twin tip muffler. Would you
Leave the stock size piping or go with bigger?

subspec · 03-06-2010, 09:55 PM

Say 50.

subspec · 03-06-2010, 09:57 PM

With the header it will eliminate one of the cats. Ill post a pic of it. When I get a chance. Its a long tube header.

**celipunk** · 03-06-2010, 10:03 PM

Ok cool.
