Gutting interior - where to start???
Hey all, im interested in gutting my interior to make my car lighter. I know how to remove the back seat, but what else could i take out to save weight besides the radio - im thinking of taking the foam off the floor, but i dont have any idea on how to go about that . . .
thanks in advance - cash

a heat gun works just fine too.seriously dont gut your interior ...its a b16 swap,it can hang with the 15-20 pounds your pulling out..but for your question.there is different stages of gutting.full out is rear pannels,only the drivers seat nothing else.trust me its really not worth it.hell this next car i am about to get is being put back together as we speak.

my bro, Hatchcx bought bumnahs old ride and it has a stripped interior. After riding in it i think i should warn you. Ride quality goes WAY down with a stripped interior unless u plan on becoming a real drag based car, I dont think you will find the minimal loss of weight to be as great as a stripped interior is anoying. Seriusly before you start gutting ur car why dont you try other methods of droping some weight? Do you have a cf hood? Thats an easy way to drop 20+ pounds. Also a stripped interior isnt gonna help the resale value of ur car so ud better be planning on hanging on to it.
