AC is a must for me for that reason. The five points are just going to snap your back if you get in a wreck and don't mount the top strap high. With all the really good clutches out there you do not want to go unsprung on a DD.
These are just my opinions though. Every thing else looks good. Not sure that a short shifter will drop much weight, all mine have ever done is ruin syncros. You plan on DD'ing this thing? Keep in mind, ridding of the bumpers isn't always a great idea. I know my last accident would've been a lot less painful if I would've had a bumper up front.
I always suggest cutting the backside out a bit, if you want to cut weight. The front and back bumper supports can be replaced with some homemade alluminum supports. I took mine out all together, but I know you are looking for a daily driver.
You do understand that gutting means taking out everything that has weight to it for the most part right? Also, the list, is that what you have or are getting rid of, what's the list about? Limegrntaln Proven Member. Its a stupid idea for a DD, too dangerous, removing safety equipment for lightness. The list is my current plan for what I will start to do Both my friends people who have been in the dsm scene for about 8 years are running unsprung clutchs and i have no problem driving it.
Click to expand I used to think the same thing, although knock on wood I have been driving for almost 2 decades. I will tell you that you arent going to be able to control driving through an intersection at miles an hour and someone from the left of right running the light looking at their phone or GPS.

Thread starter finfan Start date Feb 6, I was just wondering what all i can remove, or if it is even a good idea to gut my car for weight reduction I know that the back decklid is a problem because it cannot be removed, if so it would compromise the safety of the car.
Registered OG. Overall, even if you completely gut your interior and replace the driver seat with a lighter racing seat, youre saving maybe pounds total. I certainly won't mind the weight reduction and it is my primary source of transportation! It's not going to be a track car [just yet].. I really don't care about comfort. If I wanted comfort I wouldn't have bought a Miata! I'm gonna keep the passenger seat! It's already noisy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Especially with all those darn squeeks and rattles :p Amathophobic? I think I might be.. Thanks for sharing your opinion, however! Anybody looking for an interior?? I'm looking for some interior parts. Of course, it depends on the condition it's in. When you only have IHE being fully gutted feels great, you take off faster and stop faster. But when you have a hp ep3 and traction is a problem like Weltall, it doesn't really matter if you are gutted or not.
Weltall had like 5 people in his car and it still didn't slow him down. Something else to think about. If your ep3 is your hobby car then gut it all the way.
If it is your family commute car then keep the interior. Also if you want your ep3 to be a showcar then full gut is a must. Nothing looks better than a fully gutted ep3, Also, resale.
When you gut your ep3 resale value will go in the toilet. But if you want the coolest ep3 ever and you are in it to win it, then gut it. If you plan on keeping your ep3 until you die then resale isn't something you worry about. Some people are just in the ep3 game for a quick minute until they have more money then they find another type of car. When you gut the interior super hard like I did down to the metal the interior gets very loud.
