wow what a differance.but a hassle to.was fun though.i live in sac so its about a 100 right now so i was sweatn my *** off.well its down to bare metal with only the to front seats in.Gone sell the interior parts later this week.also need some help.i cant get the rubber mat that runs down the fire wall on the inside of the car.it runs behind the dash and runs down under the pedals.dont wanna cut it up but seems thats all i can do unless i need it.

 

I don't think I want to know what he meant by this.

 

What color are the "stripes"?

 

I couldn't imagine striping my interior. The colors did you get?

 

not striping.lol.i removed all the plastics, rugs and stuff that weighted the car down.probably didnt do much but any thing helps with these monsters.just got the front seats.

 

Well, as long as you are gutting anything and everything that could weigh the car down, why not get rid of the rear hatch, hood, bumpers and doors while you are at it? You could sell those too.

Are you building a track-only race car? Heck, even most f-body race cars I see still have their interiors mostly intact. There are guys going pretty damn fast with full interiors. Stripping the interior out of a car is such a "ricer" thing to do these days... Unless of course your car is back-halfed with a 4-link and slicks running in the 8's.

 

Many track events/classes require a full interior.

 

actually im in progress with making it a full track car.tho i will drive it every now and then on the street to show it off.lol.hehe.but not enough to mess it up.didnt count on all the rude come backs.thanx tho.

 

Get ya some earplugs!

 

Very true; most people I see nowadays at car shows, in parking lots, just hanging out in general, with the Civics and Integras and all the other rice mobiles, all have the carpets out of it, the plastic trim, whatever. Seems like a new trend.

 

True, but for some reason a F-Body really looks ugly gutted. More then say an import. If you think your F-body creeks and rattles now, just wait untill you drive it gutted.

 

well unlike some im not worried about the sqeeks and how it looks.im about performance.you know im all go no show.i dont car what i look like kikn your *** as long as im kikn it and my car sounds and runs good,and i think most will agree.and beside most race cars (not saying mine is one) under 30 grand dont look to great cuz most the money is in performance

 

So, your car is not a race car, and you completely gutted the interior.

wow. Enjoy! You are definitly "one of a kind" there.

 

I live in Florida. I don't care how fast mine will ever get. A/C and stereo will work.

 

I'm surprised at all the slams, i say to each his own. Have you weighed everything to see how much you dropped? I can't imagine the interior weighing that much. I think the carpet with padding is like 45-50lbs. All the plastic, i wouldn't think would be more than 10-15lbs on the high side. Honestly, i'd be surprised if it was more than 100lbs total. Am i too far off with this guess?

Personally, i'd look for other things to remove before i gutted the interior, but mine's still a daily driver too. If shear weight loss is what you're after, go for the a/c system next and think about one of those half-size dry cell batteries. The battery alone should be good for 30-35lbs.

As far as your question hidden in there, after gutting the car, who cares? Just cut the bitch out. However, before you go any farther, check with the rule book for whatever it is you want to race it in before you go hacking crap up.
