i removed the ENTIRE hvac system, firewall padding, and passenger side airbag for a total of 65lbs weight reduction.
i havent weighed the condensor or the ac compressor yet.

should be about 30lbs or so, making my raceweight without me 3240

 

my friends rag top eclipse weighs about that you car should fly

 

How hard was it to remove the airbag

 

I want to know also!!! Hurry up and post to our replys!

 

it wasnt hard at all but i had the whole dash out and it my living room just a few bolts and it comes right out, it weighed 17lbs.
you cant tell its not there, it looks untouched.

i could tell my the pass side airbag had deployed (before i bought the car), there was white dust around the inside of the dash where the airbag was...
(i knew the car was hit in the front pass side)

i now have plenty of room under the dash, i can plug my stereo up from bottom/back side of the dash with everything assembled.

i had to zip tie all the boxes / wires up.

i could not believe how much room removing the hvac system frees up (under the dash and under the hood)
