So i'm getting my ek back in a few weeks after getting the whole suspension and front end re-done. this is to be my track car so interior is coming out. the dilema is that I live in Canada which means cold winters. someone told me it's going to be extremely cold....like unliveably cold with a stripped interior in the winter....does anyone have a stripped exterior driving the car throughout winter, im thinking it can't be that bad but if it from responses on here people say it is indeed not liveable having no interior to block out the cold other than what the weak heater blows out the interior will stay in minus rear seat of course.

my hatch is gutted and when i lived in tennessee during the winter. DDDDDDAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMNNNNNN. sorry bro but you might want to put a parka on in the winter where you are

yeah get's to minus 35 celcius here which is from what i can tell almost 40 below for you guys down in the states...so i guess no gutted interior till i get another car for the winter hehe. thanks for the quick answer though

if it is your track car then why worry about how cold it is in the winter? do you not have a DD?

Well, if this is going to be your track car, no problem. Just drive your daily driver.

Or are you building a track car... which you'll also have to drive daily...

i would have to say a gutted interior will dissapate heat more rapidly... compared to an unaltered which would help hold heat in a little better acting like insulation.

however, if you want to start the proccess i would reccomend simply taking the backseat out for now, and leaving the side panels on (looks wayy better imo) and they dont weigh very much, 5 pounds a piece maybe?

this is going to be my track car/ daily driver until i get out of college next year and by an s2000 or FD. then it's going to be track car only and going to get a cheap *** truck to DD. but for now it's got to remain mostly street legal but setting up the suspension pretty nuts right now and getting some new rims and tires in the spring.

I wouldn't strip it out if it's your daily...it'll be alot louder and alot colder.

My 91 had nothing but 2 seats and a dash. I live near Toronto, and I'm alive, I drove like that for 2 years

Unless you haven't lived in Canada that long, you may remember that walking to school when you were little. You may also remember that it was way ****** colder then.

Re-attatch your dick and drive the damn car
