Rear wiper? What rear wiper? I ain't got no rear wiper!

You didn't gain power, you lost weight.

The only difference is your car is ten pounds lighter, and in theory your battery will last just that much longer because you removed one small insignificant electrical component.

Good work

Why don't you take your floormats out while you're at it, maybe you'll feel something then.

Wow. You lost weight on the car. Reducing the weight allows the car to accelerate, corner, and brake faster. However, you are not gaining any power. You will not notice a 10 pound reduction in weight. Perhaps 50 pounds. Removing your back seat and spare tire will make for a nice weight reduction to work in conjuction with the removal of the rear wiper assembly.

Also it is the opinion of several top import drag racers that for every 100 lbs you shed off a car you will drop maybe.....a 10th of your E.T.

i think you did it wrong, i felt faster after i took mine out.

try taking the battery out, it saves like 10 pounds, you dont need it. once the car is running just leave it running

Hmm, you must have a defective car. I suggest you sell it to me for cheap.

Alright, cut the "I got a Type R and you don't, y0!" ****. Copping an attitude with people isn't going to get you anywhere. Your question has been answered, no, you didn't gain any power, and no you won't feel any difference.
