Amjad Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Sounds like a nightmare for a daily lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I used to have a fiesta that I completely stripped and drove daily. I mean completely stripped too. It had the dash and two seats lol. I got used to it pretty fast to be honest but it is loud. There are other things to bear in mind too, the paint on the floor wears off with foot movement (easily solved with matts though), another issue for me was police moaning when I got pulled, pointing out sharp edges and generally it does look bad in those situations because realistically who in the right mind completely strips their car if they don't race around a bit?Its pretty shit for luggage too unless you don't give a shit about damaging the paint work lol.On the other hand I thought it was fucking ace haha! I like a loud car so boom. And the weight saving was amazing! Lost kg after kg and it made a hell of a difference to the power Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Socks Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 ! Lost kg after kg and it made a hell of a difference to the power Made a chuffing huge difference to the performance of that car! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aaddzz123 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Made a chuffing huge difference to the performance of that car!Kicked yo ass ;) haha!... How things have changed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Taggy Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 May as well stick in my 10 pence worth too, i stripped mine out totally too. It wasnt my daily so for the first 12 months it didnt bother me, but even as my 2nd car although it was quicker it became really anoying to drive. Its about 10x louder in the cabin than normal, you suddenly realise you can hear every single rattle, squeek and on top of that on the motorway i would go deaf after driving for 30 mins!!It is fun to do it but in my opinion it ruins the car in the long term, you would be mad to do it if its your daily!

snails ep91 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 same^^was awesome at first, the slight increase in performance, the noise etc. but after a while you hear every rattle, every squeek and tbh i just felt i was driving around a car that just wasnt complete you know.mine doesnt have any rear seats atm but will be getting some once i get some to match my fronts better.all i say is at the least keep the plastics, carpet, door cards etc. not a huge weight in these really. most of the weight is in rear seats.stripped looks cool if all properly sprayed up but novelty does wear off eventually.sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 In all my Starlets I've never even stripped the rear seats out. Not suitable for a daily imo. The demo Glanza isn't my daily but I've still left the complete interior in place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Snow Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 i completly stripped my 106 down to 1 seat and no dash at some points but after a bit you just get left thinking wow my car may be a tiny bit faster but looks shit, had nothing but complaints from the family aswell, in the end i put it all back in to sell it minus al the soundproofing as i binned most of that at it was such a nice experience, went from noisy and rattleyas fuck to quiet and rattley as fuck, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BigMan Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 it does make a difference, ive had my ep85 stripped with the rear seat out but trying to explain to people i only got two seats was a nightmare! does make the difference tho if you strip alot out! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
