How to delete p/s in 10min i read a article the other day at the book store where a guy re-routed his serp. belt where it did not go around the p/s pump. he would drive to the track and swap belts for no p/s with a shorter belt and get better times. then swap back to drive home. has anyone tried this? was size belt works? i think $15-$20 bucks is worth a few tenths at the track
you won't get a few tenths. It's the equivalent of taking out your 10 pound back seat. Take off your a/c belt and use a shorter belt and go around the p/s and you won't get a few tenths
how about just take the belt off all together...
You'll only get 1 run like that...but it has been done..
But c'mon people...for the .1 you'll gain..is it worth all the trouble?

actually, your back seat is worth about 35 pounds which isnt much at all when your considering how much a car weighs, but def. more than 10lbs. Check it out.....http://www.angelfire.com/my/fastcar/suspension.html

There was a thread on this just last week, it included pictures of what it looks like, possibly a belt part number, and some first hand experiences stating it did in fact gain some time at the track, granted not much.

No, I understand what you are saying and we just had a differernt picture in our heads of what "removing the backseat" would look like and what would be involved. Is is really worth it to take them out for the 10lbs? Is that going to get you faster times at the track or racing people in the street? That was my only reason of why I meant the whole thing and not just 10lbs worth of padding. I mean, unless you have kids, keeping the entire system out keeps people out of your car and keeps you from having to drive people around. I love the, "sorry, I can only fit one other person in my car," excuse.

I was kinda an ******* and you responded respectfully anyways, that's impressive, thanks. People like you make me feel bad for being one of the people like me. . .lol
haha, dont worry about it. I just laugh at all the drama that sometimes starts here on this site and I dont really like to get involved. It is good to have two different opinions though because it makes for a better conversation, just not when it turns into a shouting match. I would love to put new seats in my car as well, I just have to get to the point of where your at first, except turn that stall into a 9''........
