Default removing useless items
I am removing things I dont need to clean up the engine bay. I just removed the EGR and air pump. I need ideas on useless items to get rid of.

I have no engine ideas for you.... but the driver mod is the best! j/k I'll say ditch the rear seats! I always thought of them as useless, can't really fit a person well there.
