that is one thing that always pisses me off when I get a used Honda. (honda's more then anything else it seems). People always remove the A/C and the cruise.

Lets break this down.

A/C - Unless your building a purpose built drag car.. WTF is the point!! Your not losing that much HP and your not carrying that much extra weight!!

Cruise - Are you a DUMBASS!! What is the point of removing the cruise? I dont' think you gain 1 thing from removing the cruise control.

these are things I love to have in a car. I use Cruise all the f**king time and I'll use A/C when I need it. So please stop removing these things to pick up maybe 3 HP to the wheels. NO POINT!!

What about people who remove those things because they simply dont use them. I didnt even use cruise control or A/C in my rsx-s

A/C weighs about 20lbs, front seat 30lbs, rear seat 30lbs, spare tire are parts 40lbs. i take all those out when i go to the track. cept a/c i still have that. but i also remove my subwoofer and thats about 60lbs. it adds up i notice a big difference about half a second on 1/4mile for me. about 150lbs. ill also take out my window washer fluid. some of the sound deadening is gone. i wanta get a carbon fibre hood/truck/fenders and loose another 100lbs. with all that i might take off 1 second. which is alot. i think 100lbs is about 8hp. not sure on that though.

They say on average 100lbs lost and you gain .10 of a second in the 1/4 mile. Depending on how fast the car is. But that is just the average.

I took my A/C out in my old car thinking it was a great idea, until it got hot out during the summer :smackself
Girls like riding in cars with A/C too.

haha..yeah it kinda sucks when they start bitching the wind is to much for their hair...i usually tell them to stfu but they still complain. I'm thinking about ADDING A/C to mine since the biggest motor I'll get, If i do get will be a b16 and im not gunna care if their is an extra 10 lbs since it will still be a slow car, but WITH A/C.

unfortunately they don't work that great. it was kind of a disappointment when i installed mine cuz you cant roll down the windows as far as you think you could. the water droplets end up rolling off the edge and flying into the car :evil:... they do look sexy though
