Stripping the interior is free. So is taking out the power steering and the AC.

Index the Spark Plugs
Catch Can (not exactly free, but close)
Lower temp thermostat (again, not quite free)
Hand porting on the IM/head

You can always steal some turbo parts.. Thats free

Thank you Captain Obvious

 

Take a **** before you get in it. Oh wait you still have to pay water bill.

Checking air pressure in tires.
Man, unless you get creative just about everything costs money.
There was a good writeup on painting a valve cover. dude got the paint for 0.01 at autozone.

Strip the a/c all the way to the evaporator as well and get a grommet for the hole. They sell them at honda just find a non a/c model.

 

go slap on a pair of shorts and shoes and run a couple miles. lose a feel pounds thats free

 

best free mod i did was removing the rear wiper and filling the hole with a rubber plug + silicone. cleans up the back a lot.

 

Cost of electricity aside, vacuum and otherwise clean the interior. Wash all of the excess dirt and crap off of the car, and wax the **** out of it so that it will cut through the air "like a streamlined butterfly". Keep up on your air pressure, drive with the wind rather than against it.

Seriously, though best of luck with your turbo build.

 

power antenna switch?

 

Get a skinnier girlfriend. Drive downhill with a tailwind. Keep your gas below a 1/8 tank. Tie a tow rope to the back of a Viper. Jack up the back of the car so you're always going downhill.

But seriously, besides weight reduction, there isn't much to be gained for free.

 

u can replace ur cat w a straight pipe. theyr only a few bucks i think.

 

if you wanna lighten it up take off all the body panels, hood, windows etc. drive on bare frame and engine. itll look tight

hey is it legal for all cars to drive around doorless like those jeeps do?

 

take off the airbox cover and enjoy the sound of all motor before you go turbo.

 

Take the cover off of the air intake filter, easy, free, and the car will sound better.

 

The wheels always need to be cleaned! Brake dust

 

this thread is hilarious!!!!!!
