Is there any point of stripping all of the plastics out and everything or shall I not bother?? Stuck in two minds.. Race car look and practicality if needed

You don't do it for looks you do it for that bit less weight to carry I would look into coilovers wheels strut brace's before stripping imo

All the plastics in the back weigh fuck all anyway tbh, only thing that weighs a decent amount are the back seats and shelf, apart from that the plastics are minimal, mines currently running decent already, 90 in 3rd with rolla inlet and cold air feed

Main weight is spare wheel, parcel shelf only if it has speakers, upright of the back seats and the seatbelts.

You're probably talking about 30-35kgs

You could always remove the sound deadening from all over the car and then stick all the interior back in and be in the same place and still have all your interior. Stealth weight reduction and its free ;)

Just strip it down and if you don't like it put them back in fair enough 90 in third but anything can go fast in a straight line until a tight corner come's up if you aint got good handling it's going to slow you down

I was advised not to in regards to police stops, but it's different here than in UK. I have the headliner off, and will strip behind the rear seat to metal. I'll keep the seat and spare easily removable for track. (But I'll have boost then...)

Yeah that's why I went down the suspension route, got brand new all round kyb shocks with lowering springs and 195/45/15's all round it handles so well, can go into a corner at like 80 and it handles it fine (dependant on tightness obviously)
