Some Engine Bay things i can get rid of
im bored today so im looking for some easy things i can get rid of or relocate, i already took out my (IAR) Intake Air Resonator control solenoid valve. but theres some small hose leading to a box under the air filter and next to the battery. can i take that out as well. i have a feeling FULLRACE can help me with this one.

the thing is, there is nothing under my dash. No vents, no heat/ac, no srs modual, no srs wiring, NOTHING. Its a empty space. I hid all my wires neatly behind the glove ( which i just put back on ). I also did a cruise control delete, powersteering delete,ac delete, threw out the heat, and took out any wires i didnt need to have the motor start. I looped the ps so theres oil in the rack and i love the feedback i get now when i realy drive her. I feel like im in a hornet or a fighter plane. the car goes wereever i point her.

gas shouldnt realy be a big concern, its not that expensive and no matter what price it is....if you own a car you should be able to afford the gas.

They all work differently, and mythbusters is the shit, I watch that show religiously

Yeap, no cruise control over here either. Took that shit out when I had the chance at the shop. Everything sounds like my car except for the PS. I still have that. There is a bearing making a loud annoying sound by the PS pulley, so I'm considering taking it out as well.

i dont use cruise...........i cant because of the tb. I use my car for having fun only. I have a daily for pimping. ill do a diy. If you look on your IM plenum...theres spaces for 4 vacume hoses. those vacume hoses are connected to some metal parts then back to rubber. The two that are needed to run the car i used in a straight shot to were they were supposed to go and got rid of all that crap on the rear of the firewall in the engine and the metal intermediate peices, and the extra hosese, and the brackets, and the ps lines, and the ...............i took out almost everything short of ABS, which requires me to get components off a DX accord or an accord without ABS......engine has to come out again for that.
