Colonel, you should add the dash replacement, someone here told me it weighs 4 lbs. I don't know what the stock dash weighs but 4 lbs seems light.

We weighed mine once. Seems like it was about 15-20 lbs. That's a BIG dash! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

I went on Dr. Atkins diet and removed 35lbs from myself!

I weighed the stock power steering pump, bracket, lines, fluid, pulley, and bolts at 11 pounds.

You just feed the Cruise control line down. It is easy as pie <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Any car that doesn't have power steering is a race car IMHO.

JS, this is kind of "off topic" but seriously.. I would look into Xenadrine or Hydroxycut for weight loss.. They have a new formula now with no ephidrine.. I am a pretty solid guy and lost 30 lbs in like 2 months.. I am only 175-180 from 205.. I swear by the stuff man...

BTW: you can get in online for around 22.00.
GNC has the same stuff for 40 +

how about removing the power steering since I run skinnies up front all of the time?

Colonel

With a lightweight car and skinnies, power steering really isn't necessary. I can drive mine with one hand even at parking lot speeds with no problem.

Colonel, FWIW, the Alum. block tips the scales at 104.55 with the main caps and bolts, nothing else.

Colonel

LOL! Yeah, that being the lightest of all colors (actually, white technically isn't a color at all. Neither is black.)

Thanks for the block weight info. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Anyone weigh the power window equipment vs. manual? Or maybe I missed that.

zturbo

I was told once by FJ Smith that the power windows are actually lighter. I haven't weighed mine but not going to <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

has anyone instead of taking there ps pump off & driving tried to install manual steering so it would be easier as well as loose the weight & hp loss of the stock setup. i drove my lumina for 2 years without powersteering & my arms were hard as rocks.
