cold weather makes for easy sound deadener removal...hammer and a scraper...about 20lb lighter...pulled dash cross-bar...need to cut it down and re-install part of it to hold the steering column in place....heater box coming out to be gutted next....need a motor a core and full defrost only for rainy eventsGut the rest)...the rest goes......Prank parts butterfly delete plate and alternator relocate getting picked up tomorrow....goodbye to a/c and all of the crazy tensioner pulleys....I think I am replacing the steering rack with an accord rack...an extra 1/2 turn lock to lock...should make it a bit easier on the forearms when the p/s goes bye-bye

modified column brace back in.....pulled heater boxes to get sound deadener off firewall...going to weigh it later...I bet it is 50lbs...strung wiring back in temporarily to make sure I didn't make any wiring mishaps...IT RUNS!....now to get that wiring into a more manageble harness

I figured 50lb for sound deadener behind dash...actually 34lb...was quite wet when I pulled it....installed Prank butterfly delete plate...gutted left door and called it a day....in pulling car out I decided togive the throttle a bit of a "twist"...first time since I bought the car....is it normal for a fuel cut at 5500rpm on a 6spd?...heard the autos cut there in park or neutral...hoping it is normal...no cels...car sounds really 'angry' under throttle...can't wait to get this mutha on the track
