You actually did it. Nice. How much weight savings? Plug and play? Fully functional?

Are you OK with running that way (no A/C or heat)? Or do you plan on trying to make everything work?

Go for it!

You can probably get away with no A/C up there in PA. Down here in TX...not so much.

Are all the airbags gone? They're actually dangerous on the track.

airbags also weigh a decent amount. Probably worth removing if this is now a dedicated track car and you have set up your racing seats and belts correctly. I personally prefer the system Lexus created more because I can’t wrap my head around wrecking with no air bags, but I have no experience with true race cars.

Not just worth removing, but prudent to remove when you have a cage and a proper harness. Despite the years of hype, airbags kill people. I know people who have been injured and maimed by airbags who would not have been injured at all if there were no airbags.

Fixed it for you Lance. My wife had an accident 2 years ago and it was basically the air bag that knocked her out and left multiple bruises on her face and neck.
