after slack assing for a month and a half im done with the sound deadening and sanding. Next is cutting the firewall then core support. Then into paint it goes!!!

 

 

damn. my car DOES have a twin! lol.. good luck . ill be there soon enough .

 

im not trying to sound like an ass but what is the point? does it just save unnesecary weight? or is it for the paint job?

 

Starting to come around

 

I forgot to give my to a chick who knows what she wants, and isn't scared to get dirty doing it.

 

according to several sources on FA, the weight savings from removing the sound deadening is more than 40lbs.

 

40 lbs here, 10 there, 50 in some other place...it all ends up adding up. Plus, it always looks much cleaner with fresh paint with it all gone if the interior is going to stay stripped.

 

yeah with all the non-necessary interior stuff and trunk stuff (or hatch stuff), and misc engine items deleted, you can save in upwards of about 200 lbs.

then add lighter wheels, lighter exhausts (titanium), light flywheel, light driveshaft, and just more power and it works well.

no sound deadening or carpet means more noise but sometimes noise is good


looking good jamie. what color are you painting the car? and is this one going to be RHD converted? if you're not keeping it a big secret, got a vague or basic mod list youre shooting for?

 

not a big secret

1. The point is, i'm building my car to be a show car as well as drift. (When its painted the inside is going to look like glass, thats why) There will be nothing inside, but a cage, a dash and a bride seat

2. As far as the weight factors concerend thats never really been an issue for me, but the fact is, thats a lot of weight, so thats a plus to get out of the car.

3. Yes it is going to be RHD, with a s14 happy eyes front end
at the moment, i think im shooting for a ka-t. Version select 3kit, Tein flex.

4. Paint should be comming up within the next few weeks. I am reincarnating the pink car, with pink flake. same inside.
