Higher octane doesn't give more power it just prevents detonation. Only mention this for people that are unaware. Kind of rare to have reasons for an NA build with stock compression to require an increase in octane rating.

I'm Planning on stripping it as far as I can but still owe a little on it so keeping what I do easily reversible for now, but also looking at doing a full custom interior that I can remove for when its play time (Basically a show car that I can race) and I will get some pictures of the striped back seat in a bit (have to wait till break)

Crank Pulley bought and installed!!!
and just a heads up the DIY for this seems to be gone but easy to figure out but really recommend an impact wrench with torque settings to do this install on a automatic fought it for like ten minutes then got the air hose out and solved the problem |

That's awesome! Are you going to remove the seat brackets, seat belts as well? Any chance you can weigh the pieces you removed? I just want to verify my scale is right, rear seat delete with brackets and all seat belts, 60ish lbs off.

Hmm now I will have to weigh them as feels heavier then 60lbs.
Thinking about removal of belts but need to install seat once a month so if it is a pain to install them again probably wont but have gotten good at getting seat in and out so might be the same with practice, on that note is there a torque requirement that anybody knows about for belt anchors or is it just till its tight |

Removal of the seat belt is easy, those steel seat brackets take longer to install then the seat belts. Until its tight works fine for me, i'm sure there's a torque spec for it maybe someone can post it if they know.

Ok so did one better got my car on a scale so with full tank car weight 2320
But with this scale rounds up to the next ten so if it was 2311 still would be 2320 it was 2490 with me in the car and I was upset as been aiming for 170 for weeks will go back with some 1 lbs and will get right weight Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk Last edited by scod4025; 05-29-2015 at 01:16 PM.

Ok so haven't posted in about a month so thought I would give a little up date
stripped more of the inside paneling out and did the door panels and removed the seatbelts and the brackets one thing that sucks though is that the speakers in the doors are pop riveted into place so didn't pull those out yet but here are some pictures [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] |

But with all that said have a slight issue as when I removed the back door panels the rear windows stopped working so need to jump one of the wires in the plug to get them to work again and would like to know if anyone *cough* CTScott *cough* may know which ones I need to jump or have the diagram of the door panel if not will find it just take me a little bit with a meter. Here are pictures, if anyone needs more info let me know

Very nice! You can still remove those steel seat brackets on the pillar(2 bolts) for a little more weight loss, also are you planning on removing the radio and all speakers(about 5lbs total) or just the rear speakers?
All that weight out the car feels so much better in 1-3rd gear, now maybe its time for a race battery on yours lol. |

For right now going to just be pulling out the rear speakers rest will probably come out when I get done doing the fiberglass back deck as will have stereo in that, That is self contained so easy removal, and yes can remove the seat latches but I forgot about them and then was doing measuring and might use them as an anchor point for side panels in the back deck but will see as haven't got plan fully put together on how I want it to look
