    -A/C
    -P/S
    -M20 (M90)
    -Auto tranny (g265)
    -oil cooler
    -afm (megasquirt)
    -motronic (megasquirt baby)
    -big tube Coil, Rotor and distributor (megasquirt WS)
    -inner fender liners
    -splash guard
    -brake backing plates (factory 3 brake ductwork)
    -power antenna (e36 318 stub)
    -trunk tar
    -first aid kit and warning triangle (in wife's CRV)
    -power window breaker switch
    -back seat
    -OBC
    -Probably ABS, haven't decided yet
    -charcoal canister
    -Hood foam
    -more to get rid of, BECAUSE RACECAR

    I've removed almost all of that same stuff. Still have the trunk tar, power steering and ABS. PS and ABS will stay, haven't thought about the trunk tar yet, really.

    When are you going to be in Bend again?

      Not bad but my car looks like a normal daily driver, not really racecar at all, and even i've rubber plugged the antenna hole. And not even washer bottle delete? that's one of the first things I did, and the easiest.

      M90 = win. How do you like it?

        My antenna hole has a little rubber plug, too. My entire washer system is also removed, just still have the little nozzles in the hood, which if I ever have the hood painted, I'll remove and fill. That's most of the reason I went with the M42 radiator, too, trying to get as much out of the engine bay as possible.

          I've ditched most of that stuff too (my car didn't come with ABS lolol) but why are you tossing the power window switches? Seems silly, you're not saving anything by doing that.

              He's only getting rid of the breaker switch. Personally I'd keep it anyway.

                    Did someone say complete windshield washer delete down to the nozzles and all?

                      Yup, because I found an old center console from my eta without the hole for the breaker and I think it is a stupid osha thing anyways.

                      Josh, I'm in Bend a lot these days. I was just there wed night through fri morning. I'm there again Dec 20-22nd. It's been pretty hectic with the announcement of 24% layoffs, so I've been pretty anti-social while traveling. Lets plan now on having a beer on the 20th or 21st.

                        I had the same question about the fender liners? What if it rains? You could also kick rocks into your fenders.

                          If working, I'll buy the cruise control, a/c and if the rear is a black leather IS seat, the rear seat.
