Decided to man up today.

Got a few days off work, so im completely stripping the interior and spraying it to make it as neat as possible.

Weighed the standard seats while i was at it, 24.7kg each!!!!!!!!!!!!

So they are getting replaced asap with something lighter. Most of the tar s**t is gone from the front aswell, must be another 1kg worth at least.

Pics to follow tommorow :)

I'd be suprised by that, but I fitted ph1 172 seats to mine the other day and jesus were they heavy, was that drivers or passenger weight? the drivers seemed to weigh more? Or was that all in my head? On the bright side you'll make a good saving with buckets fitted!!!

Drivers side may weigh more due to them having the mech to change the height of the seat too?

Aren't a good bucket less than 10kg?? If so thats a pretty big saving and you'll be flying with them out!

The ones im looking at are 8kg, with side mounts and harnesses i think it comes in to around 11kg each.

So should be good.

If i dont like it, i can always put it all abck in again, kept everything nice and neat and safe in the garage.

Always the best way, I've got a loft full of 1.2 mk2 ph1 parts so I can change the car back whenever necessary. (mum loves it) :S

Nice update, this is going to be awesome

I removed 4Kg of tar from the rear and from under the front seats (haven't done the footwells yet).

I'm going to be looking for lighter seats next year, i think the Recaro's are about 18Kg each.

Yeah i took my carpet out a few weeks back. I was so shocked how heavy it was.

My Sparco Rev's weigh 8kg and imo are fantastic buckets. They are so comfortable and so supportave. 10 out of 10 :)

Thanks mate, you can soon :)

Back together now. Took it for a spin with no passenger seat, just to see what removing 25kg did. Definately makes a difference, so will be getting bucket seats asap.

As it is now

Have some grip tape for the floor on the way, as it gets dirty very quickly as you can see, and its abit slippy.

Looks decent mate, be great with buckets and a decent wheel :) Was tempted to do this myself but the extra road noise would be to much for my daily driver :(

Did you spray your floor? How many coats? Or was it hand painted thinly?

That will be sprayed... I did mine with synthetic paint, you don't "really" need to use primer with that either, mine took 2 coats to completly cover.

When can you get the paint from and how much will I need to do the whole floor front to back? Could do with a weekend job :D

Re: Project 172 **** ITB'S - 204bhp *** Sausage filter fitted Page 14

Sprayed it as gray said. Did primer, then 2 coats of matt black.

To do the whole inside, i think ive used around 8 cans of matt black, and about 3 primer.
