yes i did, the carpet to begin with was really nasty in the back portion mostly, so i said what the hell with it and cut it, i didnt wanna look at it or just the feeling of knowing i have nasty carpet that can be seen. the carpet in the front half portion is still dirty but not as bad as the other and i still wanted carpet in the front.

What I noticed with my car is that the longer you track your car and expose the underside of your car to extreme heat from your exhaust and track temperature, dry ice will only do so much. My car was proved to be a pain in the ass when I stripped it in the spring. The tar just wouldn't come off in big chunks, even with a ton of dry ice. I had to do a lot of manual chiseling of each small piece.

Some pics of my car. New door panels we made. Was tired of having nothing there. Threw some blue carpet back in.

Pics taken while we were stitching. Took out the rear seat brace and miscellaneous brackets and braces no longer needed. Fabbed up custom trunk bracket.

YAY for stitch welding! The welding part is easy, the prep sucks major donkey balls though!

Upon closer inspection I have decided that those are not the 180sx wheels. OOPS!

HunsakerS14 · 08-06-2008, 07:58 PM

DD s14

AFTER:

Flybert · 08-06-2008, 07:58 PM

My dad fabbed up a rotiserie which made prepping and welding the underside seams easier.

Bigsyke · 08-06-2008, 09:25 PM

What and how did you do this ??

DisEpyon · 08-06-2008, 10:15 PM

I believe that is the carpet material used to make sub boxes with, correct me if im wrong, just a thought...

that stuff just doesnt lay down. It almost look vac bagged or molded.

Stripping the interior on my civic was the worst idea ever. The car felt cheap, after 3 years, I spent a thousand trying to get the interior back.

The plastic trim and the rear seat on the s14 weighs nothing compaired to the civic. leave that in. a year later it will get to you when you start buying expensive things for your car, but realise the interior looks like shit. But if your going to do it, go all out and at least use some dry ice and decent paint.

ANd the rear seat keeps the sound pressure levels high

exactly right. shits real cheap. I think it was like $12 for all the carpet and I had some left over. plus like $4 for the spray adhesive.

For sale now, wish I had the time to finish it looking at these pictures...

With a serious cage like that you should cut out the rear deck to save weight. That cage braces the car well enough that the deck is doing almost nothing but adding weight.

Dousan_PG · 08-11-2008, 02:57 PM

deck doesnt do anything anyways really
it just hold speakers u can cut most of it out off the bat.

Thought the coupe deck is what keeps it a lil stiffer that the hatch which has no deck

aNskY · 08-11-2008, 04:35 PM

any of you guys who gutted your hatches want to donate the rear carpet to a (previously) half gutted STREET car?

not really
the important part isnt that deck, its the part under the window
the deck is just spot welded into place and removing it would be next tno difference
teh disadvantage of removing it is the trunk brackets are there to open/close the trunk (springs/arms)

that deck is useless
just keep thsi part:

the part right under the window. that has the support. the rest is useless.

dori_sil8t · 08-11-2008, 04:40 PM

rims are s12...
flybert car doesnt count, its a time machine. awsome father son project the most my dad helpd with my car was offering beer lol

tru180sx · 08-12-2008, 08:38 PM

sorry it took so long to post pics.
but heres what ive done so far!

VQMaxFan · 08-12-2008, 08:58 PM

Someone needs to post some S14's with crank windows or something! I bought my car stripped with a full interior. (stripped but sitting in the pass. side) Put the dash and door panels back on and hooked the windows back up. Id love to see some s14 setups w/ non power windows that still go down.
