im using my 93 Dx HB as a daily driver and occassional auto-x car. i want to clean up and lighten the car by removing the rear seat and plastics. is it a good idea or will i regret it. i think it looks clean when its all gutted and i heard it removes some weight. some advice please..

 

Personaly i dont think you should because it will look like it is a theft recovery or somthing. What i think you should do is when you race take out all the seats that you are not using and your spare tire. But if you like the way they look stripped more power to you it is your car and you should do what you want not what i want

 

don't forget, when you remove your interior you get bumped up to street mod I think. If you autox just for fun and dont mind losing (unless you're experienced) i suggest keeping your interior.

 

depending on what class you are running in, doing that may make it illegal.

 

I did it... I felt a difference driving around, and plus you can put all the major parts on really quick.

True!

If this is a second car I'd say do it but if not, Go with comfort. Also, I don't think most girls would be impressed if they had to sit on the floor on the first date...

 

thanx. yeah im just hesitant cuz i just got the car and want to clean it up and not **** anything up. i like the clean stripped look of an EG. which peices are smart to remove and what are not and does anyone have any pics of a moderatlely stripped rear end on a EG? thanx

 

yeah chicks seem to hate hatches already let alone a stripped one with no seat for her to sit in. haha..

 

**** it!

LOL, Civics aren't exactly chick magnets. I'm not sure how much insulation/ tar they use in the hatch but my cousin stripped the trunk in his 99 sedan and the tar alone was almost 30lb's. Maybe you should start with removing that. the spare, and the rear seats.

LOL ....my friend did his and it was loud as hell...you can hear your voices echo. Im thinking about doing mine as well...but mainly to paint back to black......damn those rice days

 

Do it. Just leave the 2 front seats in. If you like to talk on the phone I would not, to much road noise. Oh yea here.

They are to girls that like cars.

 

So which would be a better chick magnet, my 97 DX coupe or my 86 190e 2.3-16? hehehe

You wrote it wrong. It is "They are 2 girls that like cars".

And I don't know either of them!

 

I only did it because it was a second car...
A friend of mine has a 93-si with an ITR swap and a 5sigen exhaust
and my gutted cx with a 1.6 sohc vtec is louder. I like it though.
My girlfrien is almost used to it now.
As for the weight issue, I have run head to head with integra ls swaps and
an integra gsr.

 

I would only do it if you can stand the noise or if it aint your daily driver.

thats what u did

 

No more Stock or SP classes for us back seatless.

 

i did it.....
didnt feel a damn thing! just louder

i left my window down while it rained over night

 

man, a lot of your interiors are not dirty like mine. i took out my back seats and there is dust and dirt everywhere. how can i clean this mess up, any advice? thanks

 

It is weird, there are a string of interior removal threads going around. Must be something in the air this week that is making everyone remove their stuff.

 

i have just removed the rear seat and carpet in the rear... it gets very loud on the highway, im about to start wearing ear plugs for longer trips.

also if you remove anymore then i did you will be bumped to a mod class like d mod or something. street mod only allows the rear seat and carpet to be removed
