Should I gut my car's interior to make it go faster?
If its not your DD

If you have rear seats you won´t use anyway, why keep them in your car?
You won´t just be faster, you will also get more mpg.
I never understood people who gut their interior.
I get you want to reduce weight, that's what I want.
But I don't throw the whole interior away and call it a day.

What else would you do to reduce your weight?
>>16129460
take off two wheels and scrap the entire right side of the car
>>16129460
only classless, tasteless plebs gut the interior.
Get rid of the exterior, it's just worthless cosmetic panelling.

Aluminium is the answer.
>>16129460
Are you trying to win the race or just being a chump
Remove the body panels you don't need its useless
>>16129460
Unless its a dedicated track car, no.
There is no defensible reason to do it on a road car apart from if you're trying to hypermile to the max.
>>16129460
1. what kind of car do you have
2. do you live in an area with hot climate.
If you don't legit race this car at tracks then no don't gut your slow car like a poser

Aluminium what ? nothing weight less than nothing
plus nothing cost less than gutting your car
>>16129628
Replacing parts of your car with aluminium isn´t that cheap.

I replaced my engine with compressed old cans.
Accelaration suffered but it still goes well downhill.

remove the sound deadening and jst put everything else back in
you can save 20 to 100 kgs doing this and it doesnt even make a noticable differance
>>16129746
100kg of sound deadening lmao
Don't remove anything if it isn't 100% on the track all the time - completely pointless as it won't make any difference
You'll probably get 20kg out of sound deadening if you're lucky, if you stripped EVERYTHING out including AC system if you have it and all but two seats you'd probably get 100-130kg maybe - depends on the car.

Unless it's a dedicated race car you're a poseur tryhard fuck.
Lose weight you fat fuck
>>16129564

replace hood with aluminium hood
replace stock wheels with lightweight alloys
swap steering column for a lighter one
remove air bags
replace glass windows with plexi (aside from driver's side, if you want it to be retractable still)
remove rear seats
remove spare tire
remove YOUR spare tire by working out/dieting

I legit raced my car at tracks and only gutted the interior to be able to haul 2 bicycles with the hatch closed.
I think the whole interior on my car might have weighed 100 pounds altogether?
>mfw kept the AC because Florida

Big, heavy thing under the front hood isn't doing you any good. Lose it.
