oh! you just reminded me: flash to the RoW program with the PST. this disables the secondary air injection system, allowing removal of the valves & the pump. that pump is HEAVY!! the RoW flash will also eliminate the second set of O2 sensors & the clutch start switch.

airbag light is easy: remove the bulb!

undercoating is appx. 40lb. if you figure out an easy way to remove it, do share!

one thing that caught my eye the other day was the windshield wiper apparatus at the cowl. HUGE chunks of metal moving those things! wondering if it can be simplified & have some of the framing removed.

so you've done all that & you're still at 2,750?!?!? i haven't put mine on scales, but it's a no option '99, which was listed at 2,800lb when new. i'd be shocked if it was over 2,600.
