It is a drift car.
Nobody needs a fucking harness bar.
Koguchi rules.
You have to keep in mind he is Japanese and been drifting for a long time. This isn't Pussy American drifting where everybody is a total bitch.

and P.S. do you even see a harness in there? I don't.

Quoted for the ultimate truth. BH for president.

Gutted interiors make zero sense on street cars.
They aren't worth it.
If you really want to be cool, run a full cage with full interior.
My old hatch was like this. Even kept the rear seat and sunvisors.
When my coupe gets a cage, I'm keeping the full leather interior.
There's no reason to punish yourself with a gutted car.

Gutted?...You still have a dash, door panels and a center consol. Step up your game! =P

Gutted interior on the street is for retards. I tried it once upon a time, it fucking sucks.


Keep your interior, the weight savings won't be really noticeable, especially if you don't remove the important shit (HVAC shit behind the dash, AC stuff, skeleton in the doors, sound deadening, etc.) Removing your carpet isn't going to save you shit...in fact, it'll just suck worse because your car will look like a rolling box of dogshit and no girls will want to get inside of it.

+1 rep for that!!

I agree, completely a waste. All it does is cause more noise. And the weight savings aren't really necessary.... "zomg, I'll get to the store fastAr because my s13 weighs 10lbs less!"

save it for a race car... i learned the hard way that you can either have a race car or a street car. it can be somewhat of a hybrid of the two but it won't be a full street or full race car. so what's the point of saving a few lbs taking your interior out? plus, a/c is awesome for a street car. some can live without it, but i need it.

who wants to drive around in a car with a full roll cage, bucket seats, and strapping yourself in harnesses everytime you get in/out of the car just to school, work, etc? you'll just look like an idiot. plus attention to get your car stolen and harassed by cops.

I actually quite like driving with a bucket and harness in my temporary daily. Quite comfortable.

I hate when people say stupid shit like this. Its a car, keep what you need - take our what you dont need. Who needs rear seats, what do you have kids or friends that are midgets? Fuck that shit, tell them to take their own car. Thats what FWD 4-door sedans are for.

Anything BEHIND the driver/passenger seats is fucking useless anyway, especially if you have a rollbar and some harnesses. No one can sit back there, or shall I say safely. I'de never want to be in an accident and be in the BACK of a 240SX.

If your car isnt making much power, forget it.. dont bother stripping your car. The lightness wont make a shit of a difference. If you still have original suspension, shit tires, old bushings, etc.. keep your interior, you've got bigger problems to think about it. The fact that you're driving a 15+ year old rolling junk pile should be reason enough NOT to waste time stripping your crapheap.

BUT, if you happen to have a nicely built and maintained car, good seats, harnesses.. and trashed those dinky automatic seatbelts, then hey.. go for it. Stripping the interior is great and saves a good amount of useless weight that you'll have to roll around with.

JEEEEEEEEZ.. think about it, we should make a poll.. how many people on Zilvia still have automatic seatbelts in their S13??? AGH!

That was a "holy Koguchi cockpit heaven" face, not a "that looks like shit" face.

[krazyfil]

yea its the c pillar bar... but... i was shipped the wrong one.. they sent it to me for a damn civic hb... so i made dew whut i could..lol.. but it looks a lil bit different now... ill post pics up later tonight hopefully... and as far as having the door panels and all that shit... thats just for a comfort factor... im not gonna waste my time taking those things off just for an extra 2.2 pounds.. and plus i put stuff like my cds and such in them

[krazyfil]

actually... i work at a truck stop... and after i took out all the crap from my car with everything... it was almost 200 lbs less... so rep that

[e1_griego]

Yeah, ok fine.

But it's not like the local store parking lot has a minimum weight class that you need to get down to.

I just think that it's useless for the majority of people to strip out their street/daily driven cars.
