i have a 91 civic 4 door turbo im thinking of completly gutting it im gunna drive it on the street but its not my daily driver, im also planning on tacking it to the track wen i get the new motor finished and dropped in, thanks for ur opinions

 

o nd how do i post pics

 

i dont know how to post pics. but i gutted my car and love it. i just gutted my dash yesterday and it looks awsome. you can save about 100- 150 lbs with gutting it. to take out the sound deadning you should wait till its really cold out and it comes right up. i completly filled a trash can with just hoses and air ducts. heater core and everything under there weighed about 30lbs

 

I gutted my EH back in the day. Cool for about a month, then I went deaf. Tanabe RM and always driving high rpm's.

 

thanks, im ive really been thinkin about it but undecided how did you do the dash?

 

i hate gutted cars. but if its not your dd then go ahead. but you shouldnt need someones permission to gut your car...lol

 

It's a generally bad idea and most people regret doing it later on. It's not particularly useful, doesn't look cool or anything, and isn't worth the hassle.

Just be careful removing parts and make sure you save everything you removed if you end up doing this - don't go losing or selling it. You'll be glad you did some day.

 

sometimes it looks cool if there's a cage and the interior is painted nicely to match the outside.

 

gutted 4 doors.

 

no.

 

THAT IDEA IS HOMOSEXUAL

 

yea crx's are kinda meant to be gutted a 4 door not as good but its pretty sweet if you have a quiet exaust
it does give a race car feel no jokei know that sounds gay but if you have a shitty interior go for it
i wouldnt gut a mint anything but blasted seates and stained carpet do it

 

ehhhh...i gutted just the REAR of my crx and saved 67lbs. i weighed it myself...3 times

but, mine is also a track car, i have another crx im going to start fixing up soon, and for my daily i drive an auto 00' civic hatch...but i say..

GO FOR IT since you say its going to be a track car, less weight = fasta yay

your choice man, if you dont like it, just put everything back in, its your car, do what YOU want

There is no way in hell your complete CRX rear interior weighed 67lbs unless you are including spare tire, jack, tool kit, speakers, and cargo cover with that. Even then, it's a stretch.

 

i don't know about a gutted 4 door...

but if you want to do it then

 

i just used a hair dryer and that worked well to get the tar **** off (sound deadner)
but it sucked all sticky and shitttt

 

dry ice and a 48oz hand sledge gets the sound deadening up quickly

 

go to tinypic.com and host pic and post. OKKKKAYY

X 2.

I'm not buying that. Those plastic pieces weigh NOTHING. The spare tire and jack don't weigh much either. And anyways, 67 lbs....that is roughly 8 gallons of gas. Do you honestly feel the difference in performance with a full tank of gas?

The placebo effect is strong with this one....

i jsut pulled the dash and everything i didnt need to keep the car running came right the expletive out. air the air hoses, blower motor, and anything that pops out of the dash. have to drain the cooant out still. im waiting on some cooing parts right now. my car isnt street legal right now so getting it ready to be. its not a daily driver. i have by far the loudest exhaust. buddy club spec II with test pipe and b16, this **** sound like a strait up beast. (COP MAGNET) ima put up a buid thread one day!

 

gutting anything that will be a street car = dumb as hell

 

NO x100 thats exactly how these cars start going to *****

 

i have a gutted out hatch, but just the back is gutted. the front seats and everything else in front is still there. it doesnt look bad at all, and you cant even see it when your in the front seats.

i dont think a sedan would look right gutted, but to each is own. plus if your not dding it, then it shouldn't really matter.

but remember to take everything off carefully, dont just rip it off. i can throw all my interior back in if i wanted. so if you do gut, keep your interior safe in your garage.

 

not for a daily. did it . regreted it. spent a load of money on new interior.
if you decide on gutting the car dont throw away or sell the interior. you may want to put it back in.
