Im worried soon as i take my donut out, i will be out cruising that night and get a flat and be screwed.. can anybody relate? Can anyone convence me to do it or not do it?

I run full interior. I have been stripped down and don't like the noise. Also, I got stuck with a flat and had to borrow a co-workers jack and get her to take me to get my tire plugged. Good thing she was still there when I left work. I say **** it. It's a street car, run it full interior.

I removed my interior. Sounded louder and hearing the gas swish around in the tank was a little annoying.
Didn't like the looks of it after a little bit and the 20-30 lbs wasn't really worth it to me.

Its back in. Well, I do need to add some bolts here and there...

i think for the savings in weight, i rather run full inter on the st.when it comes to going to the track. strip it down. doesnt take that long. or run no interior in racing season and full interior in off season.

The backs are pretty heavy. Probobally 30 lbs or so. The fuel pump buzzing and road noise are what drove me to put it back in. That and the muffler being loud as crap.

the weight removed from stripping the interior is not worth the time or hassle to me. I run full interior. If I was THAT concerned about my times at the track, I would build up my engine to handle more power

Too me it seems to be patience and tollerance on having **** stripped in your car and how much noise your want to put up with. i may just take the rear seat and passenger seat out for a while and see what i think wont take but a few min.

I think it only matters or is worht it if:
1) for full race prepped cars (it's a requirement for most)
2) if you remove everything, sound deadening and all.

I see no point in removing the interior of a daily driven car. On occasion I get bored and pull out the rear and passenger seats for a day, but it grows old fast. It's just fun pulling up next to someone and having them stare at you like your crazy.
