So I'm seriosuly considering removing all my heat components to help make my wire tuck easier and just make my car much more simple/light. I'm going to strip out the entire rear.. repaint it and leave it like that.. from the front seats foward i want it stock.. so i wanna keep my door panels/dash/center console all that ****.. but I can put some gauges where the heater controls went as well.

What should I consider though? I live in the northeast but I also have a 4x4 pickup for the winter that I won't have to worry about (still under warranty for another 3 yrs) so the car will be primarly driven in the spring/summer and maybe occasionally in fall

I want it to be fast little all motor car... i wanna start getting into autox.

have any of you guys removed heat? what were the drawbacks? aside from the obvious

 

i'd like to here some stuff about this too

 

driving in the rain with the windows down

 

you just wont have a front defroster when its cold or foggy

 

the weight difference alone is worth taking it out

 

well it's gone.. time to finish my wire tuck!!

I'm also gonna get some dry ice to remove all the vibration absorber stuff.. and re-paint the int as well.

heres a pic of my motor i blew a couple weeks ago!

the removal of heat will throw you into a class that you will have no chance in auto-x

 

If your car ever starts overheating, you won't have the option to turn the heat on to try to lower the engine temp enough to get you home.

Yup, but he is removing all the interior behind the seats. In stock class or even STS, I don't think you can do that.
