ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    Yes, it's a "for sure". The belt has some degree of stiffness, and to continually be flexing and unflexing it around the pulleys requires some energy.

    But, what I was trying to say is that the energy required to do this is in the scheme of things infintesimal, it won't be noticed either way by the driver and any affect on elapsed times (or fuel economy) would be utterly minute even if it were actually measurable...

    Disconnecting the PS may have a noticable affect, but will make the steering heavier, possibly very much so depending on the steering geomtries and the tyres you're using...

        If you're gonna go to all the trouble of removing AC, etc, why not just sell/save up and by a DX? They lack power windows, mirrors and locks; CC; maybe even AC and the radio. Then remove PS and, voila!

        I cant tell you the back seat weighs a good 30lbs, easy.

          or save even more by not buying another car and simply remove all those components on your lx/ex? Go to a junk yard and swap the lighter components if you'd like even
