Taggy Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Ok so most things have been stripped, although there are still some straglers left in my bay that i reckon can be pulled out, based on the pictures below, can you see anything that i have missed that can be pulled out.I noticed there is a fuel filter and what i believe to the right of it is the old carbon filter, is this true and if so can i take it out? Also above middle top of the bay are a bunch of sensors, (can these go, which ones) someone told me that thesea are part of the old aircon unit and are no longer needed.If you can see stuff i have missed please point it out , oh i think im gonna chop out the battery holder, made a new one and it looks like about 1-2kg saving there I also sprayed the engine bay black, it looks fookin awsome, pics dont do it justice, and here is the bitch ready to go in, clutch is on, i just need to drop it in.

Taggy Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 I spoke to someone who had taken the power steering out of his and he said that it compeltly wrecked the handling of the car and it used to judder all over the place when turning without it. I think im gonna keep it in!Power steering Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 That's the first time I've heard that, a few people have removed it including myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
joel_ep91 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 my non power steering starlet handles the same as my power steering equiped starlet only timer you can notice it is when you try turning the wheel when parked or very low speeds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ToyotaTech15 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Power steering is also removed in my car, alot of saving both from and weight and engine load.if you are going all out, how much is the interior stripped? there is ALOT of excessive/unecessary brackets and equiptment that arent needed imo on a dedicated track car. The full dash and heater matrix have all been binned.Plastic windows, stripped and de-skinned doors and boot.Also floor tar stuff weighs a ton.Possibly more but thats just off the top of my head.Hope this helpsGary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Was i right in saying that that unit on the right is the carbon filter? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 the 2 little solinoids above the ignitor are to do with air con i believe and can be removed!also your alarm if its a track slag... use a switch to the fuel pump to immobolise the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Was i right in saying that that unit on the right is the carbon filter?Yeah, you can remove that and leave the pipe on the car open to breathe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Remove the carbon cansiter and run a vacuum from the fuel tank line to the little black box it was attached to.Also above the igniter is the aircon sensors socks is on about Theres still loads you could do there.Removing PAS I would recommend putting a NonPAS steering rack in.
