lol! You guys are a bad influence on me! Right Im off to give it a go. I'll probably start a project thread later on as it's turning into one now :)

LOL! ok calm down ;) I've still got everything Ive taken out so far, so I'll bring some proper scales from work one evening when I've taken everything out. What's the definition of full strippage? ;)

Fine! I'll do it this afternoon!! :) Are there any bits that I have to take care of not ripping/damaging the carpets or linings? I will be keeping all the bits I take out just incase I ever want to put it all back in again :) Also, any advice for the tar? Ive got a heatgun and a chisel - will...

That's why Im REALLY tempted. I dont use the car for daily commute I dont mind the extra noise etc. I dont have kids/wife that I need to think of too I have no plans of getting rid of the car anytime soon (if ever! ;)) You only live once!!

Really?! You mean the carpet under the seats? Why is it that heavy?!

And then think you much you would have to spend to get that extra power from the engine?! Matched inlets, remap etc. The cost all adds up! And weight removal is all FREE! :cool:

^^ True, but then speakers aren't a necessity. Fuel kinda is! ;)

^^ Tell me about it! Let's see if we can salvage it, because Im still very interesting in peoples opinions on this matter.

Well the best real world example Ive seen where a stripped car is quicker is when me and Burp had a little play once. His car is sub 900kgs, and mine is almost standard weight. He has 3bhp more (confirmed on RR), but because of his lighter car, he was able to pull away from me by quite a...

I might do mine, as Ive seen it asked quite a lot. And I'll weigh all the sound proofing etc too. I know it sounds a bit geeky, but Im sure it'll be useful to some people :)

Can a mod please close this thread, getting out of hand now. Again, apologies to the original poster :)

LOL! Thats awesome. I though that was photoshopped to start with, but that's 100% legit!

Very nice! I really like the rear spoiler on 197s. I think they are just subtle enough not to look silly :)

Yeh supposedly! Sorry to the OP, this started out as an interesting thread, but as usual, there's always one person who knows everything!

lol! You can edit your posts all you want, pretty sure you realise you wrong now. Im off now, im going to take some more bits out of my car to get an extra 1mph top speed!

I think it was quite obvious I wasnt referring to F1 cars lol. Pretty sure they dont come with AC and CD players as standard ;) What about Clio cup racers? Sorry to keep going on other chaps, Im quite enjoying this! :)

ok m8, I give up. One last question though: If it doesnt make any difference, why dont race cars run with full interior?

Sorry then, but everyone in this thread apart from you are trying to have a normal discussion, and you just keep coming in with total rubbish. If you havent got anything to contribute, just dont post anything!

^ Can you at least try to stop being a t**t m8?!

To those 'mocking' this weight saving, have you taken out these items and tried to life them all up!? They're bloody heavy, the rear bench is surprisingly heavy too for what it is!

^I bet the one Recaro is over 15kgs on its own m8!

I've done this too. Removed the rear bench, and I starting to strip the interior now too. I think I can justify it now Im starting to do more trackdays :) I'll be replacing the Recaros with some lighter buckets soon too! Cant wait!

Wow they look awesome when polished!! Good work dude :)

Nice little project m8! Let me know how you get one with spraying the interior, I plan to do the same to mine soon, when it's a bit more stripped :)

Nice start! Best colour 182 too ;)

Trophy's are awesome cars. I was looking for one too before I got the 182. As above, whereabouts are you from exactly?

Yes defo! I went from cup pack springs to sportlines. Noticeable improvement, and a subtle drop too.

How anyone can drive that is beyond me!

Good god that's awesomely crap!

Before I read the previous posts, first thing I though was how much that looks like a corsa VXR. Not really a bad thing in my book, but still very similar!
