Default Impreza Eco Mod Build

I scooped up a 93 Impreza sedan, AWD 5 speed for next to nothing. I replaced the fuel pump with a unit out of a 2005 legacy with 50k miles for $30 and have a good working car. It has 274,000 miles.

I'm going to replace the front axles (boots are worn but CV joint isn't clicking yet), replace the timing belt.

And while I'm at it, delete the AC and PS. Living in Colorado I get the opportunity to coast down lots of hills with the car completely off (key in "on" position so steering doesn't lock). I think it feels fine without PS.

I also want to lighten the front and rear bumper supports. Have not pulled the covers off yet to see what I'm up against but I'm thinking of replacing it with tube frame.

Smaller, lighter wheels I'll keep an eye out for.

I'm keeping the alternator for now until I get a proper solar system setup.

Any other eco mods I am missing?
