What did you do today to your 3/S?

[93STLTH]

Kind of sad, but I haven't driven the Stealth since getting back from the NG, other than getting new rear tires put on, which was a 2 mile drive each way. Yesterday, I pulled it out of the garage and cleaned it up some, and installed some LED lamps for my rear plate. I need to do an oil change once I have some time and money, but the main reason for not driving it is the almost daily afternoon showers we've had this year. I'm not taking out in the rain unless I have to.

I left the jack unger the pumpkin, and she pulls right out.

Well I've got to get the ABS sensors undone (may just cut them since I'm deleting ABS) and disconnect the AWS lines. Looks like a lot of shit has been ziptied back here (probably previous owner, doubt OEM would use zipties like that) so having to go slow and make sure I don't destroy anything I'll need later. On the fence about deleting AWS while I'm going to have it all out just so that it can't break on me later.

Got the rear subframe dropped, working on trying to get all the little shit disconnected. Decided to leave the wheels on so that I can roll it out from under. There is going to be a lot of refurb/rehab going on back there..Lots of rust and crap.

take it to someone who can sandblast it, then repaint yourself.

About 6 weeks of work to to the SL, total knee replacement surgery does that to you ....
Window seals
Driver side electric window assembly
Glove box lock - thanks Hans
Got the AC fixed, the dash light would start blinking shortly after engaging, sometimes it'd work for extended periods , sometimes .. 3 seconds. Now .. it stays cold

I weighed my car at my friends shop. He needed to buy some scales to weigh pallets, and opted to buy car scales instead as they cost a tad more. He's never corner balanced anything. I was more or less using them as a scale.

I definitely thought my car would weigh less with all the weight loss stuff I did(rear tow hooks, no front crash bar, no fog lights, no active aero (99 stuff), RPS LW flywheel, no spare tire, no jack/tools, aws delete, abs delete, charcoal canister delete/vac reduction, cruise delete, clutch vacuum canister delete, lighter exhaust, carbon fiber one piece driveshaft, lighter wheels - 18x9 enkei rp03's ) I was thinking the car would weigh around 3500 and was 131 pounds off. I do have a 10" corner sub box in the trunk and mdf floor back there. I'm going to weigh some stuff individually and see what I could pull. I wanted the car around 3300.

How much gas did you have in the car?


I Weighed mine a few months back...3940 fully loaded.

Full tank e85-128lbs (19.8 gallon tank + 6.5lb/gallon of fuel)
Driver-153lbs
Spare/Jack-30lbs
Misc crap in car...laptop/screws/glovebox-10lbs

So with a few gallons of gas with no driver dry weight was right at 3640. Since then I have gotten new wheels and seats. Seats dropped 45lbs. Wheels maybe 5-10lbs. I'm right at 3580ish....next is a hood, AWS delete, Airbags plus airbag computer and I'm probably going to dump my front crashbar and also rear tow hooks. Should net me another 95lbs.

3300 almost seems like a pipe dream. How do you plan to drop another 300ish lbs?? Honestly I wanted 3300 initially too....now look at my signature...reality set in..

[fastfalcon94]

It was half way in between 1/4 and a 1/2, so 3/8 a tank. I guess that would make it 48 pounds in fuel and bring car down to 3583 pounds. Granted I need fuel in the car to drive

You guys must live in St. Louis also, where gravity is more than elsewhere.

Yanked the IAC out of the Spyder and put it in the Stealth (it wouldn't hold idle for shit).
Ordered a new IAC for the Spyder from RockAuto. About $80 shipped.

Put the battery from the Spyder on a maintainer while waiting for the new IAC.

Meh....
