Dear Ben
could you ship your car to me? I'll even PAY for shipping

thanks
-Me

Ben, if I'm ever out in CA, I'm so comming to visit you and get a ride in that car!!! It looks AMAZING but i agree with the white STi stickers on the fog light covers (or remove them and get ducts

) and blue or white brake calipers

still that is one HOT car... *swoon*

have you been to the track since you got your wheels and the apr splitter? im realyl curious to know how much it the splitter does.

**Ben** · 05-04-2006, 09:02 PM

The splitter makes a HUGE difference, but I haven't been since I put on the wheels. I'll be at Buttonwillow on Thursday so I'll let you know if half an inch of wheel makes a difference

Just when you thought it was over...another episode of Ben's Useless Numbers returns!

This is probably the most USELESS of all the useless numbers:

HVAC Circuit Board
White Plastic Cover
& 3 Plastic Dials

I was hoping for 1 pound...unfortunately, we didn't quite make it

. Close though!

Total weight: 0.9 lbs

Does this mean the all the AC is comming out as well? I'm sure the compressor will yeild some nice weight savings.

Chris05STi · 05-18-2006, 05:44 PM

Wow, still loosing the weight on the car, incredible!

**Rac10000** · 05-18-2006, 07:05 PM

You are out of your mind...but I love it!

BrewPubeaver · 05-18-2006, 07:21 PM

I think the roll cage and other siffening would be considered lifting weights / beefing up

We'll see...most likely some time next week. We're removing the entire AC unit, and I'm estimating 35-40 lbs.

The Accusump unit will probably go where the compressor is right now, or maybe in the trunk (for better weight balance). It's not that heavy -- whatever 3 liters of oil would weigh, plus about 3 lbs for the tank itself.

remember that accusumps get HOT (trust me i know). that you may want to just mount it where the rear seat went.

but still, removing all the ac junk will make a BIG difference.

**Ben** · 05-19-2006, 10:07 AM

That sounds like a good idea. I may just mount it in the back seat
