QUOTE (cjh4l22 @ May 15, 2009 - 4:02 AM)hey, nice mod does it come in hetero?Need parts?I'm parting out a '94 ST
I had my entire interior out except for the upper dash a few weeks ago. It really doesn't weight much at all and probably isn't worth the hassle of taking everything out.
The stuff in the trunk, jack, spare, the back seat and front passenger seat are the heaviest items, and they're all simple to remove. Are you going to run with some lightweight small wheels?

Remove the A/C belt. I noticed a big difference in my ST without it.
did you get towed to the track?
how did you drive there without tail lights?

Not to be a downer but I did 15.02 in my 1995 SS-II just removing the jack and spare wheel. Performance wise I had a Tom's panel filter and a decat with sports back box.
If I were you I would try racing with the back silencer on and a decent air filter. You are just leaning altering the mixture and removing back pressure from the exhaust two things which work aginst performance in an NA.
Just my 2p & my first post on this forum.

i went to the draggs raced for the first time. my best was a 14.9 also at 95mph. but man do i suck, well not really. a car shot oil all over the track so i spun through 3rd lol so yeah my 60 foot sucked hardcoooooore. my buddies 300hp se-r that ran 12.5 last year with only 250hp ran a 12.4 the track just sucked so bad. other than that i pulled on an sti toward the very end. my friend has video on his cam corder that runs on a tape but how do i get tape onto a computer? my friends who drag often said if my 60ft was better id easily see high 13's to very very low 14's
it was fun. but man u stripped that thing down!! i ran with my spare and everyhting else i didnt plan on going to race but my friends conveived me to.
its a rush cant wait to do it again.
