Goodhart's budget beater 1g

[A//// Guy]

Thats quite a project! Good luck!

Still debating whether to keep or get rid of the heater core and A/C. The A/C stuff weighs about 60 lbs I believe, and it's not like the car is my daily. It is just a summer beater/eventual highway ripper. And it seems like most people have cooling problems with 1g's trying to keep A/C with a good sized FMIC.

I really don't see how I will ever use the heater, since this will be strictly a summer car. I can layer up if it gets chilly out haha

Cruise control is already taken out, I hate how much room it takes up. I will be keeping power steering since the car is only FWD.

I'd get rid of the a/c but keep the heat. I'm a baby though and don't like to be cold lol

Throttle bodies are pretty easy to fix yourself
i have extra throttle body parts and know how to rebuild them
if you need something!

Plus a few other things it looks like you might need

Not having heat doesn't save a ton of weight but is nice to not have to pull the heater core hoses. The only time it really sucks is when it's cold and the windows start to fog up haha

[goodhart]

I like having less shit to work around as well. Not like the heater hoses are really in the way of anything, but less crap in the engine bay = better

Delete AC keep heat, is my vote.
I'm doing the same thing in my car, I won't drive that shitbox if its over 90* out, although I did last year and didn't even notice, neither did my car.

Triple core baby!

Holy rust. Good luck with her. Lemme know if you ever need a hand.

[goodhart]

It's actually pretty rust free except for the typical thin surface layer of any MN vehicle.

Picked up a few things. There goes December's budget towards the beater. ;)
