If you EVER get the chance.....

.....to rip EVERYTHING out of a car, and drive it EMPTY...do it

Forget performance mods, and suspension kits....

just GUT THE CAR.

What a way to get a car to perform and handle...not just light weight...

FEATHER WEIGHT.....rear seats, carpets, headlining, all the speakers, wiring, plastic uprights around screens, glove box, all the sound proofing, spare wheel, sound deadening, door cards, parcel shelf supports....aerial, coax, stereo, sill kick plates....EVERYTHING.

THERES LOADS...and HOW FAST

If you EVER get the chance....try it

I'm thinking of taking the boot lining out of my MR2, I'd get more space as well as less weight and a closer to 50-50 balance. I don't think the Missus would approve of the full stripdown though

[Zak33]

do it man..do it

[3Dfx]

I kinda like my interior.

I do want sum seat belt harness's tho

I'm doing this next year to the Cav GSi I'm driving round in atm, old ones coming back to life and this ones gonna be totally stripped out and everything not needed in the running of the car will be sold or put on the other Cav....

Or take it one step further and replace doors, bonnet and boot with Kevlar/Fiberglass items - and then replace any steel left with alloy panels
I think its going to be loud, smelly and hot - but I dont care for this one..... hell its not a daily driver

[Lowe]

The only thing in my car is the plastic coverings around the doors, else it wouldn't be very stealthy. The rest has gone.

custom wiring loom saves quite a bit of weight on some cars, there's a r5 gtt with one somewhere apparently when all the old electrics were taken out you couldn't lift em all together :/

lol, erm no, the idea is I sell the plate on the car £400, all the lekky toys £150+ and then just strip it out as much as possible, seeing as the car cost me £600 then I cant see how I loose

[XTR]

is the plate any good?

[[GSV]Trig]

OIL 48**
Worth £400 accordin to regtransfers, mind you after I asked them for a valuation it appears for sale on there site at £1100 robbin basts...
Mind you mite just ask them for a straight swap for the plate I want for me cav

[XTR]

my dad has MJ2792.... it means nothing to him. just a plate that came with his old 1933 Austin 10. I got it Valued the other month.. £2000 they quoted!!!! He should sell it i think. Maybe Micheal Jackson wants to buy it.

[[GSV]Trig]

Thing is they will buy it at less than half what they give you for it, the plate to me is worth feck all and if they wanna gimme some money for it there bloody daft IMO

[fraggie]

trig shurrup and get on with it lol. ure moaning about money ffs
