in what order is it easiest to remove the interior? i plan on taking everything except my dash out, and was just wondering if there was any certain order that made it easier. also, is it a bad idea to remove the bumper supports? im trying to get rid of any weigt that i can off of my car.

if you use it as a daily driver, do not remove the bumper supports.

and taking out the interior, i would start from the back and work your way up.

Definately back to front. May I ask why you're completely stripping it though?

FATBOYeg6

i want to take as much weight out of the car as possible. don't quite have the money for a swap yet, so this is what im gonna do to make it faster before i have money.

not gonna get much faster.... usually said to get 0.1sec off every 100lb's. so i say keep everything in it.

im also hoping to help the handling as well. plus, i would like to get he car down to like 1800 or so pounds.

just take off the back seats

FATBOYeg6

that won't come near 1800 pounds...its a vx, so its light (2094 pounds), but not that light.

1800 or so is gonna be quite tough without any cutting. My hatch weighs in at 1987 with absolutely no interior except 2 sparco's, a hollow dash, no a/c, no ps, no bumper supports, no headliner, nothing. I'm gonna re-weigh pretty soon since I have some new improvements, but I don't think I'm gonna tip the scales any less than 1965 or so. Good luck though and keep us posted.

Just follow the how-to's in order, and you should be fine.

IMO removal of the entire interior is not worth the weight you'll be saving. Leave in carpets and plastic panels, they weigh next to nothing and really help reduce the cabin noise.
