has anyone removed the rear floor from their ek hatch on here? im talking about under the rear seats all the way to the back of the spare tire well. ive heard about it being done but havent seen it in person. i have my gas tank out already and im planning on torching the floor out this weekend and replacing it with sheet metal. my question is, does anyone have any pics of this process? i just want to see how much i can cut out, and also how much weight am i going to eliminate?

 

I'll be the first guys--illaborate978, you are in the wrong forum.

 

**** my bad

 

well thats why im trying to find some pics, i dont want to cut the whole rear, i was just thinking of cutting from after the fuel pump to the end of the tire well. do you know how much weight that is?

 

i have done it on my EK 4dr
i did it by doing old fashion-rippin n cuttin..

oh n

i m thinking of using spray-type bedliner cover for pick-up trucks
so it would look clean and cut some noise down...

 

how much weight did you take out?

 

not much.. i just did it for the hack of it..
i think it's less than 40-50lb..
BC i can lift everything(seats,belts, carpets etc) easily....
i just did it BC i m the only muthfoka w/4dr n peeps keep asking me for ride...
n i hate that!!!


if u want weight reduction... go for fiber hood, n trunk....
i have fiber hood and that's an other 20lb off...
1/4 tank of gas and tellin your GF to get out n wait when racing would help too..

 

i wouldnt do it unless its a track car and if i did i would put in a cage cus your **** isnt going to be very safe. i dont even know if they will let you run at a track if they find out you did that. but its your car

 

yea safty issues...
hmmm

i do not have full cage but i have tie bars here n there
like trunk tie bar, floor tie bar n stuff like that...
like i said i did it just for the hake of it...

 

i have a cf hood and hatch, i just want as much weight reduction as possible. 40lbs would be decent. im not really concerned with safety issues its not going to be a daily driver. i already took out the center support beam under the rear seat, thats probly another 20lbs. i dont know though im undecided on it right now but thanks for the info

 

If you are asking us if it is safe, worth it, and do-able, than chances are, it's not worth it.
