To strip or not to Strip

[Eliot]

Im really sitting on the fence weather to strip just the back of the car out! I dont really carry that many passangers so it would be good no to carry the extra weight around! However sometime Im not sure I want to strip it out as I would loose my parcel shelf speakers and the ability to carry more than 1 additional person.

What do you reackon?

what evers fit for purpose, i dont carry passengers, they have buses and trains!!ha ha

seriously if you need them leave them in , if you dont then get rid of it

a few of us on here are literally pulling evrything of our cars to see how much they weigh, go better aswell!

When I had mine last year I striped it out at the rear 4 months later the seats were back in, personally I wouldn't do it again

Yeah, but a very expensive taxi, I charge them loads for lifts :laugh:, yeah like i say im sitting on the fence Im really not sure even though it makes sense.:doh:

Wait 'til we're next at Santa Pod - there'll be seats and head rests flying about all over the place. Half of them'll be mine :laugh:!

if you've got itchy fingers take it out, rememeber where it all goes and go with it for a while

if yes then keep here out

see i cant stand drivininng stock handling/interior micras, i like to feel like im in a track car, feels awesome

ask sleeper ss, hes gone balls out on his and im following!

take the seats out as a temporary thing until you need them back in, then fit them and then decide weather your going to take them out again. its onlt a few bolts!

 

[Eliot]

yeah im swaying towards strip it out!

 

[mckenziecz]

its not just about space, just to let you know, it makes the car really noisy. it get very annoying when you drive long distances.

 

[mckenziecz]

but i still voted strip (Y)

 

[Eliot]

can people list some pros and cons of this!

 

[solarice]

If youre serious about stripping it...theres nothing stopping you replacing the seats with a bit of carpet cut to the same size you could use all the bolt holes to hold the carpet in place, plus youd still have a semi secure boot, the parcel shelf could stay put and youd have a little sound deadening...and youd only be putting back a little bit of weight.

Its something im very tempted with...at the moment.

The seats and parcel shelf dont really weigh that much so either keep it all or strip it right back like a few on here have done, some have even grinded their own fingers back a little to save weight

get strippin eliot :grinning: stripping from the rear can certainly help your 1/4 mile times, and reducing weight from the front can help trackday lap times eh
