What did you do today to your 3/S?

Interesting idea with the alternator. I was thinking about getting a membership to this fabrication workshop. Would be cool to make some custom brackets similar to this. Lot of people out there wanting to delete their ac.

Weight saving or loss of comfort isn't for me, but it can add up and pay off if you apply it everywhere possible on the car. I've seen some pretty creative ideas. One guy dissected his harness and removed every wire that wasn't absolutely needed. All for a few lbs. That's the most extreme I've seen so far.

Anyway I love to see new ideas.

I'm working on a sub box and thought I had some good ideas. One of them, using bolts and washers instead of the plastic terminals. I have some plastic terminals (pop-in type) but no hole saw the right size. After thinking about it, those plastic ones would be crap anyway. I'd probably blow them out of the box lol. Anyway, I think the bolts and washers are gonna work out great.

I assume you did this to get it away from the header and increase the expected lifespan of the alternator..?

I didn't think about that, I just wanted to get rid of the iron AC and Alternator brackets, I had to keep a small piece of the alternator bracket to use as the upper mount for the alternator but it's small compared to having the entire thing.

i love when people talk about saving weight on something that weighs less than a pound. even if you do that on 20 different things, you wont notice a difference in your cars performance. just sayin

It adds up when you consider I have no idler pulley, no tensioner pulley, no heavy iron AC bracket, and most of the iron alternator bracket is gone.. I know this didn't shave 100lbs off my car but on an N/A every pound counts. I rode in a bone stock SL and it felt like my car accelerated harder in second than that car did in first.

I looked at mine this morning, wanting so bad to drive it. Drove off with a tear in my eye because it had snowed last night. Just 1", but enough where the Stealth doesnt see the road.

I took the Villains down to the tire shop and got the worn out tires dismounted to make storage of the rims easier. Thinking about getting them powdercoated while they are off.

Want me to find the code for my color, Brian?
