Jakub k Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jakub k Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 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 30-35kgsYou 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 ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starletezy Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 No point unless your actually trying achieve something as stripping it all out will just make it noisy in side when driving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FMuscle Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 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...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pete_A Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Front seats weigh the most, the mounts. Easier to start jogging! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpikeyJp_68 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 I personally wouldn't. Cold, rattly and not very cosy. Only way to make an n/a (starlet) go fast is with proper suspension, good brakes and keep the revs above 4000 with your foot flat to the floor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jakub k Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 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) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
