Totally, when you don't want to actually make your car moew powerful, just start ripping out parts to make it lighter!

high torque starters aren't so much for weight. It's for compression.

How about some quick tips for engine cleaning? Can I use a pressure washer set at it's lowest setting? What kinds of cleaners are safe for taking grease and grime and not harming belts and hoses? I've got a 13 year old Camry I'd like to clean up.

Oh..btw, here's mine: Mustang Engine Bay - not the 'prettiest' by any means, but it does the job.

Dime a dozen at car meets and shows. See tons of cars with clean engine compartments.
