Anyone remove the outer a/c pulley from the crank pully?

[sharpie]

again.. then I was correct in responding with my last comment..

1lb doesn't make a difference... 1 x whatever would possibly, but 1lb ALONE will not make a difference..

im not trying to be hard headed,but every pound does make a differnce.i know wher you are coming from saying it is only one pund but in the end weight is weight,now lets not jack this thread up and get back to the main subject of the thread,im done posting in this thread i have made my point.

Of course it all adds up. duh.. but he didn't ask if taking 200 1lb pieces would make a difference.. he asked if a 1lb pulley would..

IMO, one pound of isn't much, but it can add up if you are serious about it. In fact, I'm going to do as much lightening as I can when I transform Twinstiva to Speedstiva.

Plus, there is weight, and there is unsprung weight, and there is rotating weight.

Taking off one pound of rotating weight is a very good thing. It may not do wonders, and you may not be able to feel it, but it's a good deal if you're not compromising anything.

About the best place to take off weight from a Festiva would be the front wheels. That's why I will always go with the manual Aspire rotors rather than the thicker auto rotors. 1.5 pounds per side doesn't sound like much, but that three pounds total is worth a bunch more than taking off a plain old three pounds anywhere else. It's probably worth twice it's "plain old weight," I'd bet.

yeah that's what I'm trying to get at. I want to remove all possible excessive rotating weight from this engine/car. I'll be gutting it in time too. I know i can get this car to weight in at under 1500 with me in it.

^^^that little tidbit of info would have made this thread sooo much smaller... :wink:

Sharpie had the right idea in another thread.. he was trying to get a weight reduction guide going that gives the weight of every part you could pull off a Festiva. But it got fubarred because there are like 10 weight reduction threads.. and each tends to go Off Topic.. If you guys get me a verifiable list I will post it, make it a sticky topic and lock it down so noone can clutter it up with ot junk.
