kevink Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Hi Guys,My girlfriend's parents got a new car, a Mazda 3 2.0L Active.This means she is getting there current car, a Mazda 323FBA.This means my starlet won't be needed as a daily driver!This means i can start doing bigger projects on my starlet! :D First thing i want to do with the starlet, cause its almost free, is to strip the interior and get a nice pair of bucketseats.My questions are:What kind of a difference does this make to the car?Is it really noticeable? How? i would guess handling and acceleration..What kind of weight difference can i expect if i would strip the interior; rear seating etc.Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bourkey Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Makes a nice difference in my opinion. Touch quicker and handles better as there is less weight to throw about. Im not gonna put my seat back again anyway. I'd get the strut braces and c pillar bar though as with the rea stripped it's a touch more flexible as the interior stiffens it up a little.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nathy boy Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 First thing i noticed was its alot louder inside alot of road noise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kevink Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Thanks for the feedback guys.i noticed more sound to when i have the rearseat folded down. Didn't bother me tbh.and Bourkey i got a Cusco rear top strut in place already, aswell as a whiteline rear adjustable antirollbar fitted.C-pillar would be a nice addition yes Any idea how much weight difference it really is?
