I spent part of Friday and part of Saturday working on the Ensightscort! Most was good, but some was an absolute nightmare!
I stripped my interior once again, except I left the inner door panels and other plastic trim pieces. There is no carpet or seats except for mine! Also the trash was cleaned out.
Passenger chair - 37 lbs.
Carpet - 10-11 lbs.
Rear bench seat - 15 lbs.
Trash - 5 pounds
67-68 pounds reduced from the interior alone!
Next was taking off the power steering pump and A/C components. I took the A/C compressor off first(easy), then A/C lines(easy), then the A/C radiator in front of the radiator was cut out(easyish).
A/C compressor - 15 lbs.
A/C lines - 3 lbs.
A/C radiator - 10 pounds
28 more pounds removed!
Power steering was next... it was difficult, no, extremely difficult. All went well except for
one bolt! It took over 5 hours to remove that stinkin' bolt due to it's location. Once off, the pump, lines, reservoir and fluid lost me ~20 more pounds.
All in all, I lost right around 115 pounds from my car this weekend
It seems to be helping my mpgs too. I am up to 56.8 mpg on my recalibrated ScanGauge after 216 miles on this tank
The gas needle is sitting between 1/2 and 3/4 full, so hopefully the SG isn't lying this time...
Also! I had my first 60+ mpg day today
I got 60.1 going to work and 62.4 coming home for a day average of 60.75 mpg!
