yes i know i still have alot of things i could remove, but keep in mind this will still be my daily driver for the next couple of months, then its out

here are some of the things i am parting out of the interior

usless plug

I liked your car..but removing all that on a dd? I guess im old and dont want all the noise , vibration on a dd. Nice ride though

back to black · 08-20-2006, 09:13 PM

well it is my DD while i am in school but once i get out it's track/weekend driver only, and this is the only place i can get a cage installed for cost, so i figured why not, plus it lets me hear things i couldn't hear before

when i see hondas and stuff driving around everyday with a gutted interior, i laugh. im sorry, but i think it looks stupid.

sorry but it's kinda hard to install a cage with a full interior, and yes i agree i see alot of cars that look stupid but trust me once i get it painted and caged you won't be laughing

i mean come on you have seen what i have done to the outside can you honestly say you think i am gonna make the inside look bad??

BEBELO SR20 · 08-21-2006, 08:35 AM

have you weight in yet?

Witt19 · 08-21-2006, 02:05 PM

that fat chicks sticker is extra weight. ^_^

back to black · 08-21-2006, 02:52 PM

haha yeah i know, maybe i should of picked a new project name but for what i am going for it is going to be gutted, i mean seriously who need half this stuff on a car if it's not a daily, just takes away from the fun of driving

dont swap motors boost yours, and if you still want to swap motors, buy a soko DE and put gtir pistons in it. Dont buy a det they are such a waste of money.

back to black · 08-22-2006, 03:33 PM

yeah i was debating between getting a new det or if it would be cheaper to get a de and boost it, i have not really looked into that much yet but you think it would be cheaper to get a de and go turbo.

DyeOwnsMe · 08-24-2006, 01:27 AM

did you pull up all the sound deadening crap under the carpet? if not lose that and put the carpet back in... IMO

AnthonySosa · 08-24-2006, 04:05 AM

yeah thats the plan, the carpet that was in it was trash and it needed to be removed for the cage install, but i need the dry ice to get out the SD

DyeOwnsMe · 08-24-2006, 11:13 AM

dry ice huh?
mines very brittle prolly cause its a b13... it weighs alot compared to the carpet good luck ***... looks sick!!
