Why delete the LTPWS? Seems pretty popular to disable it.

Like a lot of other deletes I think it's viewed as fewer parts to fail. And like other things yanked, once they're out they can't fail.

I think too many have fallen victim over the years to having been damaged by tire places. Then when one is damaged the rest are yanked.

I deleted the vacuum secondary system and, with the addition of headers, deleted the A.I. R. system. The rest are modifications of the OEM parts, like 4:10 gears, porting, headlights, exhaust, etc. --Bob

Yep
and
Yep again!

The exception (in my case) is the secondaries. In addition to eliminating potential issues, they impede air flow/performance. Now, after porting the top end, they wouldn't fit anyway. And, I really love the way it runs w/o those bastards; nothing but good, and good ridance, IMO.

I try and delete my tires every time I get in it. I'm also very good at deleting fuel AND the competition as well.

Other than that, just TPWS, secondaries and some excess metal that was stuck inside my plenum, FIH and cylinder heads.

Man, I couldn't check one box! Even after having Mark tune the car and reprogram it, I had him disable the default to full power switch just so I can still use my Power Key.

I know, pretty wierd, but I like originality.

No doubt there could be changes made to the poll.
No doubt too as soon as the changes are made more changes
could be made. It's all good.

It's like the "Where are all the ZR-1s poll". Over time things change and
the poll's usefulness comes into question.

In the case of "Deleted Features" I submit over time some systems that have not been the focus of change could become so. At that time they'd need to be added too . Then there are sub-systems that could need their own heading. (Coolant system and the sub-system Coolant to the TB) Then there are the spelling errors on it. (mess vs mesh)

Unfortunately only an admin can make any changes to a poll so ......????

Overall I can see three separate polls that could happen.
1. Removed Systems
2. Modified Systems
3. Added Systems.

I think maybe "deleted" is not the best word. Possibly "modified", or "improved", or my favorite "Optimized".

I've changed four things you've mentioned:
Air box
Gears
Wheels
Exhaust

Plus some things you didn't mention (below). I would include on your list:
Shifter
Flywheel
Power Key
Skip Shift feature

The last two are genuine "Deletes".
