track cars/gutted interior!

[tru180sx]

im on the verge of gutting my 40. everything except a/c. post up pics of ur gutted s13.....s14 welcomed too!!!

[racepar1]

If you are leaving the A/C you are not gutting it.

[nsn240]

If you are leaving the A/C you are not gutting it.

Lol agreed.. I have everything out but the seats/dash/doorpanels

Exhaust is hot as shit.. that's about it.

Why does everyone want to gut their car? If your not caging and tracking it, whats the point? Your just making your car more uncomfortable and louder. No gains what so ever.

[tru180sx]

ok fuk it! a/c is coming out too! full track car.....thanks for the link!!!

Hard parking is the new trend, haven't you heard?

I AM tracking mine and a cage is in the near future. Only females complain about how un comfortable their 240 is. For christ's sake a 240 on coilovers is uncomfortable to start with. Shit stock they aren't even that comfortable. 240's are not comfy daily drivers.

Full track car in Guam?

So why make it worse?

I dunno i just don't understand the way some people think. "Hey, i wont ever track my car, cage it, hell not do any hard driving! Lets take out my interior, the sound deadening, and spray paint it!"

[Flicktitty]

I personally hate the gutted car look, but to each there own and if it is really a track/purpose built car then go for it.

Just do it right! once everything is out clean everything up real nice and hell even paint the inside of the car.

[SixSpeedSleuth]

I also personally think it's ludicrous to gut your 240 if all it ever sees is street duty. NVH (Noise/vibration/harshness) goes up exponentionally for the sake of what? MAYBE 100 pounds less weight?? Hell, I went the opposite route and kept my full interior with full dynamat on hatch/ceiling/floor pan. Made a world of difference.

[racepar1]

I think anybody who owns a 240 with no intention of ever tracking or drifting it is a complete moron. There are tons of cars that I would rather have for street duty, looks, and picking up chicks.

If I only thought about NVH before taking out my interior. I took out my interior with the intentions of replacing it with better looking parts. The carpet had a hole in it and the back seats in a hatch are pointless. This is my DD mind you. To the OP unless you have another car with working AC or you're going to dedicate it to tracking DON'T GUT IT!!!!! It's hot and not regular hot. I'm talking a 15 degree difference from outside to inside hot. I'm talking I've melted several pairs of shoes because your down pipe is under your feet. 90degrees and 80% humidity in stop and go traffic too? OMG you have no idea. :loco: You hear every damn creek in the car somethin' kinda feirce.

Don't get my wrong. I love my car, faults and all but when I build my next car better believe it's going to have interior. I would still take out the back seats but I would get a seat delete and some sort of heat reflective material. I'm getting new carpet for my current car. There are plenty of cars out there punishing fools with full interior.

[GSXRJJordan]

I bought my S14 with no interior at all (except for beat dash), and have proceeded to make it more comfortable. As stated, the biggest problem is heat - especially if you're turbocharged. I gold-foiled the firewall, all the way down to the bottom, but it's still not enough - the heat of the exhaust makes the driver's side of the tranny tunnel about 20* hotter than the passenger side.

The next problem is road noise. I don't mind engine noise, but road noise is simply fatiguing. Sadly, the only solution is weight, weight, and more weight... all teh best sound absorption materials are heavy. Putting Dynamat/etc over the floor, tranny tunnel, rear deck, etc would add probably 50 lbs, and cost hundreds and hundreds. I'm currently looking into a combination of a paint-on deadener (eDead from Elemental Designs) and something like Dynamat, but don't want to lay out the cash at the moment.

Don't strip your interior because you think it's 'cool'. It's not. People like interior.

Don't take the AC out "just because". I still have the HVAC stuff inside (under the dash) because I intend to put AC into my track car.

[singlecamslam]

gutting your car for the street is retarded. Atleast dry ice it, and put all the plastics back on beacause without it looks like shit. Cops also look out for that shit. And that is why my sig says i need s13 coupe interior, because i bough my car without any plastics because owner apparently though that it saved him like 200 pounds, yeah.

i know i am building a STREET CAR! now some stripped track warrior. the coupe will see some track events but not enought to make it worth my while to gut the car for the one day a month it might see a track.

yea a track car on guam.. i want to take out the tar, weld all the seams paint the interior. i also wanted to leave the a/c cuz guam is hott/humid/unpredictable(weather).
when it rains it fogs up n shit.
gutting a car is the owners choice. some like it, some hate it and some dont mind it. i personally dont give a fuk what nebody thinks.
i didnt ask what anyone thought of it. i asked to post pics.. mainly to see what the possibilities of my car would look like.

i like the look of a gutted 240 if its done really cleanly, but is it really that unbearable, i want to do it, and dd my car. Im a little worried now after reading this stuff haha

I guess thats your opinion, but I don't see the harm if somebody wants a 240 as a beat around daily driver. They are rwd and look half ass decent in stock form if clean. I don't track OR drift my 240 and I'm most def not a complete moron. I do however drag it at the strip and street occasionally as well take it to shows. However, my 240 is not quite the average either and I have two additional vehicles for my other duties.

[DrftKingIII]

I gutted my S14, dry iced the sound deadening out and everything. I even took out the door panels. I have a BMW as my DD and seriously, I dont think its worth gutting the car. My right foot is always on fire, you hear everything youre driving over and every creak in the car and its not that much of a weight loss. My next car is gonna have everything in it except the back seat, and Im putting a cage in it too.

It is pretty horrible. I have a friend (Idiot) who gutted his *stock* SR swapped 240 and it's a fucking nightmare to ride in. The only thing he has is two seats, door panels and a dash. It's hot as hell, noisy as hell and reeks of smells.

LOL @ "I take it to shows" :keke: :ghey: A 240sx is not the car for you if you just wanna street drive it and hard park it. 240's are ugly as shit in stock US trim. It is also only your opinion that you are not a complete moron. The fact that you participate in street drags tells me that you are a moron. Street racing is the stupidest thing short of driving on the wrong side of the freeway. Now the fact that you have other cars to daily drive is the part that tells me that you are not completely inept, but it also tells me that you agree with me. 240's are not the cars for you if you want a comfy daily ride.

You are a complete idiot. As in shows I mean trips to VIR for NASA drift events, Summit Point ect. You must think because you have a "Godly" amount of posts you can walk on fucking water. I sure do participate in street drags, on blocked off roads with known friends. So what? I have an 11 second FULL INTERIOR street car and I like to run the motherfucker. Fuck you. Quit getting pissy because people disagree with you and think that 240's are better on the street with full interior. It's called opinions for a reason and every body has one.

Actually I don't own a shop, I work at one. I do work on the side and the quality of my work is un-beatable for the price. I LOVE 240's, but I see them for what they are, budget track cars. I see no point in modifying any car beyond exhaust, springs, wheels & tires if all you wanna do is street drive it. You are throwing your fucking money away. I am also a driver. I LOVE driving more than anything else in the world and I am pretty good at it. Yes drag racing does count as either track or driving.

I don't even pay attention to my post count and as a point of fact my post count is pretty low. Street racing is stupid and dangerous. That is FACT not OPINION! I totaled my first 240 in the canyons and a friend of mine is a vegetable for the rest of his natural fucking life from street drags. Don't even fucking think of arguing with me about how it is ok to street race. I am not arguing that 240's are better for street without an interior. I am arguing that modded 240's are not good street cars to begin with. If you are not seriously tracking your car (grip, drift, or drag) gutting it is stupid, but if you don't track it owning a modded 240 is stupid also.

Lets sit back and see really who is an idiot....someone calling VIR a "show" oh hi welcome to the bandwagon. Might wanna see who you are talking to, he knows more than you could possibly google by yourself.

My past cars have seen monthly track events on a regular basis. I refused to strip my car because it was completely retarded. Im gonna lose 30 pounds to drive my car 4 hrs to an event. Most people strip cars because they think its the cool thing to do, it makes them look hardcore. Yet they look like complete dipshits with a gutted s13 with Ac and shock/struts on eBay wheels.

Here we go again. A fucking show/event/whatever you want to call it. VIR and Summit Point just happen to be within driving distance from where I live. A good friend of mine who helps out with my car from time to time participates in drift events and I go to support him when close enough to drive to. If I lived closer to the real "Shows" as you like to call it, I would be at those events as well. Call it bandwagon or whatever the hell you want to call it. I don't give two shits about drifting or autocrossing my car, but if a good friend of mine is into it, I will go to support them and help out if needed during an event. Also, I'm sure racepar does now much more about S chassis/240's then I do. That was never even mentioned nor part of the argument.

But, at least we can agree on kids looking like dipshits with a gutted S13 with a relatively stock vehicle otherwise.

[Matej]

Hahaaa my slow n/a KA 240 is stripped, I don't like having to take a bunch of extra things out and putting them back in all the time, and the gas mileage rules. It's my totally impractical street car, and I love it that way. I'd rather crash it into a train than only be (un)able to drive it on a track.
Does that anger you people, does it? :keke:

exactly how my buddy's mk3 looks right now. mine is gutted and im tracking it. i love every second i get in it.

[Jordn]

As said before, don't gut it unless you REALLY need to. My 95% track-use-coupe has a full 6 point cage, door bars and rear cross bar and I have full dash/centre console, a/c [thats broke currently] doorcards, carpet, mats and 2 seats. In the back I have stripped the sound deadening out but I plan to try and get the rear cards and maybe even rear seats back in around the cage. They're useless as seats now but the rear looks so much tidier with them in.

My old Zenki S14 was properly-stripped, no carpet, no sound deadening and after 6 months I layed the carpet back in - makes such a huge difference.

[Ninjabread]

I took out all the carpet (because it was some shit aftermark job with shaggy stuff, and my car takes on water like crazy (windshield leaks, sunroof leaks, etc) and I had no rear interior to begin with.

It's not THAT bad, sure its noisy on long trips to the track, but tahts why I have an ipod.

[gregfarz78]

This is my car gutted, its going all back to stock though I gutted it to strip the sound deadener and take care of any rust this will not be a track car with no interior. I painted the floor boards with rust bullet and used some 3m sound deadener undercoating in the trunk and firewall.

[McCoy]

This is as far as I 'gutted' my track car... if you can call it that. I still drive the car to track days/HPDE events (upwards of 6 hours), and sometimes to work, so I prefer the little extra sound deadening that the interior pieces provide.... guess I'm just getting old.

For the interior, only the B and C pillar pieces, sound deadening, and rear seat belts were removed. I'll be adding a cage this winter and the rear seat and possible the headliner will be removed.

[kognition]

Word,
If i had the spare change, i would probably pick up an Evo 8 myself. My S14 is allready being broke down from my last time attack to prepare for January.
Having a baby in a couple months so i am cutting back on track for the rest of the season. Besides i can't afford the gas to get to the east coast events. :rant2:
Also, yes street dragging is GAY. Paul Walker called and want's his Eclipse back.:ghey:

Not sure what's happening with the back yet, the POR-15 isnt quite as durable as I would have hoped, so maybe I'll use truck bedliner.

[ZX88]

gutting the car is lame if its not a designated track car. if you gut your street car youll never get the bitches.

[Ninjabread]

Meh unless you have an s14 with stock suspension and leather interior, i would never invite a chick in a 240sx anyway.... what an econobox POS.

even my stock one, this chick thought it was broken. made so many stupid noises.

Sorry we aren't all ballers.. I find nothing wrong with gutting the interior, My car i would say is 70% gutted.

I still have my heater,carpet,headliner, If anything had a bolt that wasn't needed I took it off. Only things I kept on was the bottom half of my seat,the interior cover for the rear hatch.

It would only be 88% if i didn't take off the rear speaker holders,little metal things on the quarter glass and the rear seat belts holder things, when u were re-doing your timing...:keke:

[let5l1de]

Stripped it all the way down, even the sound deadening material. Then we painted it all the way around. you can peak inside through the taillight area and see that its painted inside as well. my only regret is, i didnt stitch weld it prior to paint. next project will get the special treatment for sure.

this is also my daily (for now) and its about 70% gutted. rear seat & belts completely out along with all the carpet and completely bare but painted trunk.

saving money to get a 6 point cage.
but yea guys gutted 240sx are looking good.
some chicks dig 240's stock,gutted,whatever.......u guys are just picking up the wrong gurls!!!:fawkd:

[Def]

Taking the tar stuff and rear seats out saves a good bit of weight, and if you get some carpet to put over it I don't think it's THAT much louder road noise wise over stock. I use the carpet off the back of the stock hatch seats and it fits ok in the hatch/rear seat area when I'm driving it on the street. It's not very thick, so not much sound deadening, but I guess it helps a bit.

Gutting the car when it's primarily a street car isn't that good of an idea IMO, but if it's seeing the track quite a bit, screw it, take it out. It's not like you're going from a Cadillac to a rusted out pinto by taking out a little bit of interior, and 150ish lbs from the rear interior and all the tar does make things easier on your tires/brakes at the track.

[honeybadger]

Was it pretty hard to get that sound deadening stuff out?

[A Spec Products]

Was it pretty hard to get that sound deadening stuff out?

I think blu_808 just recently wrote a post about taking out sound deadening with dry ice, search for it

But otherwise, there's like 1029438298 threads about it

And even without it, its still pretty straight forward

Luckily most of the deadening in 240 is in solid chips, so even without dry ice its not that bad with a chisel and hammer

Don't gut your interior unless you actually have justification to do so (i.e if you street your car, leave it in!!! People throw away perfectly good interior and just make it harder and harder to find used stuff)

I love front only interior, with rear empty so you can take stuff to the track easily but still have the creature comforts

[s13drob]

not if u use the dry ice method. i hear it comes out in chunks. i did the hard way with a flathead and hammer

heres another shot i found

[DisEpyon]

Here is my car, its been gutted for about 2 years now, recently ive had a mouse problem, but luckily the trap i made caught it and snaped its neck. but now it left all this mouse poop terds and pee all over my car. So last night i took time to clean everything, since its not so freaking hot outside. scrubbed every where i could get to and vacuumed. Now it feels so fresh and so clean :) . I figured i take pic's to show to help others get ideas and talk about my experience and opinion.

I still have all my interior stuff and Im thinking about putting some of the side panels back in, getting tired of the empty look and also getting rid of the harness bar and harness to put in some s14 manual seat belts (ill only use the harness bar and harness for track use for now on, and yes that harness does get really annoying for daily driving). noise does not bother me at all. Do i care what other people think? certainly not, no girlfriend and i do not go out enough for others to get annoyed.

Here are the pics i took (sorry if some are a little blurry):
First is what it looks like when the carpet is out and some of the panels from the front is out.

hopes this helps the original poster and others, even though there is already a gutted interior thread. :)

ps: the cheapest way to take that sound shit off for free with out having to spend a dim on dry ice crap, is to wait until winter, just leave you car outside for a few nights and then get out one day when feeling like getting cold and bitchy and get at it. the only thing might have to spend money on is the tools to get it off with. this is with out any interior of coarse, just gutted.

Did you cut your carpet in half? Mine goes back to behind the front seats thats all.

yes i did, the carpet to begin with was really nasty in the back portion mostly, so i said what the hell with it and cut it, i didnt wanna look at it or just the feeling of knowing i have nasty carpet that can be seen. the carpet in the front half portion is still dirty but not as bad as the other and i still wanted carpet in the front.

What I noticed with my car is that the longer you track your car and expose the underside of your car to extreme heat from your exhaust and track temperature, dry ice will only do so much. My car was proved to be a pain in the ass when I stripped it in the spring. The tar just wouldn't come off in big chunks, even with a ton of dry ice. I had to do a lot of manual chiseling of each small piece.

Some pics of my car. New door panels we made. Was tired of having nothing there. Threw some blue carpet back in.

YAY for stitch welding! The welding part is easy, the prep sucks major donkey balls though!

They look like JDM 180sx wheels to me.

Upon closer inspection I have decided that those are not the 180sx wheels. OOPS!

What and how did you do this ??

[DisEpyon]

I believe that is the carpet material used to make sub boxes with, correct me if im wrong, just a thought...

[WoolyS14DET]

^^^You could be right !!

[DisEpyon]

yeah maybe, there are a few people that i know personally whom did this. that carpet stuff isnt expensive either.

edit: that guy /\ did a really good job on laying it down.

that stuff just doesnt lay down. It almost look vac bagged or molded.


Stripping the interior on my civic was the worst idea ever. The car felt cheap, after 3 years, I spent a thousand trying to get the interior back.

The plastic trim and the rear seat on the s14 weighs nothing compaired to the civic. leave that in. a year later it will get to you when you start buying expensive things for your car, but realise the interior looks like shit. But if your going to do it, go all out and at least use some dry ice and decent paint.

ANd the rear seat keeps the sound pressure levels high

I did a write up awhile back for it. if you have anymore questions just ask.

exactly right. shits real cheap. I think it was like $12 for all the carpet and I had some left over. plus like $4 for the spray adhesive.

With a serious cage like that you should cut out the rear deck to save weight. That cage braces the car well enough that the deck is doing almost nothing but adding weight.

[Dousan_PG]

deck doesnt do anything anyways really
it just hold speakers u can cut most of it out off the bat.

Thought the coupe deck is what keeps it a lil stiffer that the hatch which has no deck

[aNskY]

any of you guys who gutted your hatches want to donate the rear carpet to a (previously) half gutted STREET car?

[Dousan_PG]

Thought the coupe deck is what keeps it a lil stiffer that the hatch which has no deck

not really
the important part isnt that deck, its the part under the window
the deck is just spot welded into place and removing it would be next tno difference
teh disadvantage of removing it is the trunk brackets are there to open/close the trunk (springs/arms)

that deck is useless
just keep thsi part:

http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d56/pandapandared/IMG_0679.jpg
the part right under the window. that has the support. the rest is useless.

[VQMaxFan]

Someone needs to post some S14's with crank windows or something! I bought my car stripped with a full interior. (stripped but sitting in the pass. side) Put the dash and door panels back on and hooked the windows back up. Id love to see some s14 setups w/ non power windows that still go down.
