First Celi

**Jive13** · 03-19-2010, 07:18 AM

well i'll rip it out and weigh it and if its more than 20 pounds it goes in the spare parts box with the air/heat system

**subspec** · 03-19-2010, 07:51 AM

i wouldnt do it. only reasoning to do something as extreme as your doing is if your doing a full drag spec car. doing it on a DD isnt a good idea. its going to cause you more ass pain then anything.

**Jive13** · 03-19-2010, 07:59 AM

yeah maybe but the auto top doesn't work and i have to do it manually anyway i'm sure i can fix it but i might as well get rid of more weight. I am leaving all the carpet and door panels and what not so its still a pleasant ride but what can go is going. its only a 6 mile drive to work round trip and thats about all i drive unless i get bored and take her out to the highway to open her up or cruse the town maybe looking for those damn neons.

**jons02gts** · 03-19-2010, 08:11 AM

hey jive, which gen do you have again?

**jons02gts** · 03-19-2010, 08:12 AM

nvr mind, wasnt looking.

**Jive13** · 03-19-2010, 08:13 AM

5th gen 1991 gt convert. manufacturing date is in Jan. so she is only a month older than i am.

**jons02gts** · 03-19-2010, 08:14 AM

yeah, I wasnt looking at what year you have when I said I would post what size I used for mine. sorry about that.

**Jive13** · 03-19-2010, 08:21 AM

thats okay i'll figure it out

**jons02gts** · 03-19-2010, 08:24 AM

I mean if possibly wasting some time wont bother you, I can post the size I used, but its up to you.

**Jive13** · 03-19-2010, 08:28 AM

i don't think it will work cause of the gen dif. i was think to use the belt from a 90 honda accord the base model for this car didn't have air and it should be the size i need.

**subspec** · 03-19-2010, 08:30 AM

try doing this. grab a pice of string. attach it to the pullys. tighten her up. take it to autozone and say you need a belt that will fit a toyota celica thats this big.

**jons02gts** · 03-19-2010, 08:32 AM

ok, thats all I did with mine, went with the non ac belt, was too short, and went up I think 3-4 belt sizes till I had it.

**jons02gts** · 03-19-2010, 08:32 AM

that works too sub.

**Jive13** · 03-19-2010, 08:33 AM

i probably won't get it on the first buy but will maybe by the 3 or 4 time

**subspec** · 03-19-2010, 08:35 AM

its easy and less of a headache.

**Jive13** · 03-19-2010, 08:37 AM

yeah thats a good idea i was going to get a fabric tape measure and basically do the same thing

**jons02gts** · 03-19-2010, 08:37 AM

**akley88** · 03-19-2010, 10:15 AM

every 100 pounds is a 1/10th sec 1/4 mile time reduction. that video also shows how slow my car is.
