Stripping out a valver, how much difference?

[casiodan]

As above really, how much difference, performance wise, will i notice if i remove the interior, and which bits should i remove?

 

[Plattsy]

You will notice alot on acceleration, remove rear seats, seatbelts, buckles, speakers, plastic trim, doorcards, spare wheel, boot lining, roof lining, carpet etc!

At FCS, there was me (full interior + sub + 18mm mdf false floor) and there was Jas (stripped out, Nick Read as passenger) and he could not get past me.

So, I think it's fair to say that a normal sized passenger is the same weight as a full interior! lol

its acceleration tht it makes a difference on, from a standing start u wont be able to get near him!

Martin do you drive that every day? Its a right mess looks like its been stolen and dismantled for parts.
A bit excessive for me (not hardcore enough obviously) how much did you save by taking all those little plastic bits off the dash!?

 

[Martin]

Yup it's me daily driver...no idea on the plastic bits I just got carried away lol
It may look a right mess in your opinion but it goes pretty well:evil:

i can vouch for that, spanked everything on track when i was out with him!!

get it stripped pal!!

Depends how far you go with stripping tbh

My mate removed the back seats from his VTS for the airfield day and he noticed a heck of a difference!

That valver looks completely stripped, bit far for me, but just my opinion, it aint my car!

Really worthwhile for a track day etc I reckon

Yeah i aint gonna go that far but i could live without the rear seats etc. are bucket seats lighter than standard valver seats.

 

[Adams_16v]

most are mate, but some more than others, like kevlar or carbon ones!

 

[Lunner]

Mine is in the same state as Martins, apart from i ahve my top dash and stearing wheel shroud, they weight 2kgs tops together, and yup, its a daily driver

 

[Winston]

We should start are own stripped out club/forum lol

Stripped out is where its at

 

[cat171]

I think that Martins car is one of (if not) the most stripped out on here !!
blimey- taking the top of the dash off & leaving it like it, thats dedication for ya !!!
:approve:
