MARC MOSS Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 How far do you want to go? You say track so I assume you want to loose weight and there is a fair bit you can remove... If you want to keep it useable then that's a different storey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bussey Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Everything minus the loom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whitenoize Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I'd love to do this just don't have the balls every time I do anything with electrics I fuck something up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 My 1st GTI stripped the fuck outta that car. If you dont have another car for a daily then dont bother haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
epcashin Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Think il do this in a while . Hard done ? You loosin the bar goin from one side to the other ? Much weight in the stuff you can take out ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MARC MOSS Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 What's your goal? Seriously, if you are going to build a track car, how ready are you as removing the heating etc changes everything Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Absolutely ruins a car. Pointless in saving 10-15kgs. Will make it practically undriveable on anything other than a warm dry day. Noisey, rattley, cold, damp and pretty much secures the future of your car as a breaker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bussey Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 What's your goal? Seriously, if you are going to build a track car, how ready are you as removing the heating etc changes everythingDoes it? I've taken everything out minus the loom and it still looks and works fine. Only thing I've had to buy separately is a race heater so I can demist the windows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
epcashin Posted August 20, 2015 Author Share Posted August 20, 2015 Nice that's basically wat I want to do . Wat race heater you get ? Was it expensive ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Think il do this in a while . Hard done ? You loosin the bar goin from one side to the other ? Much weight in the stuff you can take out ?Not hard at all, just nuts, bolts and screws.The dash support bar is attached to the loom, it has to come out to take the heater box out.Never weighed it all tbh.Gotta agree with the rest of the guys its only really viable if its either an all out track car or only for summer use.I stripped the lot out in my 85 aswell, its not a daily anyway so makes no difference.

Arnold Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Does it? I've taken everything out minus the loom and it still looks and works fine. Only thing I've had to buy separately is a race heater so I can demist the windows. I imagine you would lose more weight just taking the passenger seat out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 GT seats weigh as much as a bag of crisps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimD Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Lots.. I don't have a picture of it all built back up, but apart from the clocks and other necessary bits and pieces there is very little up behind the dashboard, I removed any parts of the wiring loom I didn't need as well. Loom back in, and the car running I think here BUT, mine isn't a road car, and in my ownership it never will be. Think hard before removing heater matrix's and what not on a road car, it can get fecking cold in winter without one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bussey Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 I imagine you would lose more weight just taking the passenger seat out?Yeah but I like company Nice that's basically wat I want to do . Wat race heater you get ? Was it expensive ?Only around 60 quid, look on JJC race and rally at heater matrix's Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Noisey, rattley, cold, damp and pretty much secures the future of your car as a breaker.This was my point, unless you are serious about making it a proper track car like bussey etc and have a separate heater and then go all out on a build id concentrate on brakes and suspension first as they are what makes a fast track car. Unless you hav already done this of course lolWhat's the specs of the car mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gainzy Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Tim's wires lol FUCK THAT! I couldn't be arsed with that haha ahhh LSD, brakes, suspension like above tyres will be great to start with Quote Link to post Share on other sites
