Why do """people""" strip the interior

>>15178661
It's the latter. I did it to my DD.
If you don't care about that stuff there's no reason to keep it.

>>15178661
No matter how hard you try to be edgy, ""people"" doesn't make any sense. They are people whether or not they do a thing you dislike.
I stripped the interior because I'm going to be repairing rust, and you can't cut or weld through carpet and trim.

I stripped my van for several reasons, very similar to your pic.
>I only spent $300 on the vehicle and the entire interior was soaked, moldy and trashed
>working on it very slowly as money and time permits, need to get the mechanicals right first, but
it's going to be a sweet mobile bedroom and ultra secure and most importantly super stealthy.

why would track times matter for a daily driver?

>>15178661
I agree this shit is nigger tier but I may be doing something similar in my DD truck soon. im going to have to do a lot of carpet butchering when i replace the bench seat for some buckets, and im tires of constantly cleaning rocks, dirt, twigs, etc. out of the carpet when the cab has drain plugs and i could just hose the fucker out.

>>15178890
Because I don't believe in two cars, it's like cheating on your lover

>>15178713
whoa dude, sounds comfy already

The interior in my shitbox is half stripped out because it was gross as hell, I didn't want to clean it, and I'm not about to be giving people rides.

Plus now I get better mileage.

Because people can do what they want to their vehicle/property, as long as it isn't illegal or dangerous to themselves or others

>>15178685
Well you could. Your lines would just be a bit messier

>In psychology and logic, rationalization or rationalisation (also known as making excuses[1]) is a defense mechanism in which controversial behaviors or feelings are justified and explained in a seemingly rational or logical manner to avoid the true explanation, and are made consciously tolerable – or even admirable and superior – by plausible means.[2] It is also an informal fallacy of reasoning.[3]

Anyone remember that guy with the new Dart that took all the interior out and used to post about how fast it was

>>15178661
>strip
That vehicle still has a full dash.

>>15178969
The original muffler rusted out so now it has a fart can that I had lying around clamped onto it. It's approximately loud as hell.

Fuck, I forgot my trip

>>15178953

The basic idea is to prevent it from appearing to be modified at all from outside, in other words nothing above window level that can't be retracted for driving.

Also very heavy on isolating from the outside world, got reflectix throughout already but will be many layers of acoustic and thermal insulation to turn it into something of a giant cooler before appointing it with niceties inside.

>>15179062
Don't know what a tripcode even is or why it matters (it doesn't seem to at all)

>>15179062
happy?

>>15179101
I'm mildly entertained, but you still don't know how to delete posts, do you?

Also, anons love new tripfriends on /o/

>>15179111
Nope, no I don't. I've never had to delete anything.

>>15178661

I stripped everything behind the front seats on my Integra because it was shit anyway.

Later on, I kept it that way because it was sweet to be able to get to the fuel pump, lights, etc within a minute.

>>15178667
you did it because you have aspergers and are obsessed with cars

Because there's a point where the interior degrades too much and it looks better to not have it at all. Plus it goes faster and looks cool.

>>15179342
So why are you on this board?

>quality thread on /o/ devolves into tripfags talking about each other
wow please stop posting any time
>inb4 thirsty tripcucks reply to my post lapping up any attention they can get

>>15179424
>it goes faster
no it doesn't, stripping 30lbs from your underpowred shitbox doesn't do anything.
>looks cool
only when properly done right, so not a mexican hack job of exposed insulation, shitty wiring, and grimy unfinished paint.

>>15179342
if you aren't obsessed with cars you shouldn't even be here

>>15179554

when your leave your stripped rice box looking like pic related, you fucked up on the "looks cool" department.

>>15179780
Gutted interiors pretty honestly never look cool. They just look ugly but functional.

>>15179554
>30lbs
That's like the passenger seat alone

removing the backseat in my honda hatch was like 40 lbs. its a sturdy steel framed seat

the rear seats are just 2 small clips away from being removed anyway.

>>15180066
just to mention i have my seats in because i think it looks like shit like that. even after being painted white

>>15180066
And all the interior trim and sound deadening is bound to add up as well

It'll be a miracle if so how you don't end up losing over 100lbs when stripping an interior, probably even more depending on the car

>>15180099
my trans am dropped like 100-200lbs. i always replace my cars sound deadlining material with weightless aluminum foil stick on foam ("dynomat")

i want to get an new oem form fit carpet to put in, that will add like 50 lbs.


i used to have a 4 door mitsubishi galant and when i stripped the car, i removed all of the oem body filler material shit that they put on the steel to make it not sound like a tin can. it was like a thick layer of rubber, covered in hard plastic. i removed that shit with a fucking chisel and hammer. plus all of the foam and other carpet materials they put in those cars.

stripped out, everything added to 300+ lbs. because the carpet and foam insulation was soaked in water. it made it a completely different vehicle. huge increase in steering/braking and fuel economy

>also on stupid wide tires/offset

>>15178661
Lel
Is that a early 2000s Ford Focus?

Anyone tried a spray-on sound deadener? it seems like an elegant solution for a stripped shitbox.

>>15178661
Answer A: weight reduction for their track car
Answer B: weight reduction for hypermiling, which can be considered a sport

>>15178944
If you have two identical cars, one stripped-out track day special, the other a good commuter, you get thr best of both worlds, you get parts commonality, and you aren't 'cheating' on your model of car.

>>15180385
Also
Answer C: you have a leak somewhere, your interior got wet, and it's not drying inside the car.

I always remove the carpet, it just holds moisture. I then line it with something kind of bedliner.

Nobody was going to ask you for a ride in the first place mr.autismo

944 with no interior here.
Use it on the track and autocross, and there wasn't anything important other than fluffy carpet and useless plastic. So literally because racecar.

>>15179031
if there is not a spoon engine with a T66 turbo under that hood you should probably kill yourself.

>>15178744

ever tried a car with a racing seat and harness, but a stock wheel and dash? you can't reach most of it when your harnessed in with a fixed back seat.
