Default More weight reductions....

I've got some new ideas for weight reductions!!

Ok that bar at the top of the engine has to go, it doesnt do anything.

The charge pipe is made of metal so im going to change it to a dryer hose instead, those are light.

And last that shiny heavy metal head I am going to replace with plastic, we all know plastic is lighter than metal!

What do you think? Will it work?

I see you already have removed one of the 42dd fasteners, rid them all and even lighter.

Default I gotta go to BWI this evening to pick up the lady.

Even though I live directly between DCA and IAD, BWI was the only cheap direct flight.

Yep, I live &lt;10 minutes on the metro from DCA, but still fly out of BWI when flights are cheap.
