i pulled my trunk liner, gutted most of the interior sound deadener. I've been considered pulling the back seats for a while now. Having people sit in the back is kind of a liability with my Sparco harness bar anyway. Is there any sort of fabric i could put in place where the seats were? I'm not a huge fan of the unfinished look of missing back seats. My car is still a seasonal DD so i would like to make the back looking sort of presentable.... any suggestions?

 

Maybe you can get one of those carbon fiber stickers? May look tacky if not done properly though.

 

or just get the real deal carbon fiber bullhead and seat deck liner. look in the thread titled vendors need to get in on this cool carbon fiber stuff or something like that.

 

way to much money. lol just go to home depot and get some thin *** carpit. its like light as hell. and can just pin it down. but i dont think it would realy look any better anyhow. unless have right tools and skill. i think just leaving open is better. and on cf hoods. most place say all them are heavry then stock so i dont like. and if i was to get one i want lighter then stock one and also would pin it down so there for the hinges and lock will come off. which may not bee that much but will be more then all 4 pins. hopefully.

and soon im going to be taking the door more stuff off. need somthing to get off that sticky glue so need to find somthing. and there is a lot in the doors. any one know how much the saft bars weigh.

and also any one find or know a place that sells somthing for the sunroof. so i can like use the exsiting holes to mount somthing up there that wont leack also. maybe a vendor would like to build somthing and i will test out and if works sell a lot of them.

 

hey do you think with car like this i can go to dealer. and ask for warrenty.

 

until they can prove that your removing of stuff caused the problem... yes...

 

i called there should be no problem. i mean how can removing seats and this and that have anything to do with the shiffter or motor. has ntohing at all. im just taking werigh out so get good gas miles. lol
wink wink.

 

Oh goody I can help out here.

You can do 1 of 3 things, each increasing in cost.

1) Take out your sunroof assembly and put in a lexan panel. People do this ALL the time on Porsche, BMW M3, etc. Sometimes it isn't pretty, but it is effective. This should only run you a couple hundred dollars and can be done at any good body shop.

2) Have a custom carbon fiber panel made. The difficult part is measuring the holes and then having a custom piece. If you are lucky a shop could custom make one. Then you just need it bolted on. This will cost probably around 1000$

3) Replace the roof with the MR aluminum assembly. It has been done several times and is doable, don't listen to anyone else saying otherwise. This is the most pricey option, but it also saves the most weight and would be a really cool project. I will eventually do this on my steel roof. Then I can laugh when all the naysayers have nothing but praise over my project. Expect to pay about 2500$ for this, unpainted.

 

thanks for the tips. lexan is 27$ or so. lol did it on friends s4. its not much at all. go to walmart and get it. and then make it cut it out. and then duble side tape that sucker on lol. need some more free weight reduction. becasue as of now im buting more power in the car. bolt ons and so.

 

im looking for rs doors were there are no safty bars in the doors. becasue looking at them from night ago. i cant take them out. well easyly. and also if or the rs roll up windows. i will tke some pics later and i but back the one passanger seat. so someone can come with me. lol so added 39lb back crap lol.

 

Opps wrong thread.

 

hehe it was cool while it lasted. lol. but do you think that it really works. and i would think would want a wider piecce in the inside so it hits more of te filter. then the top of it. why not some ram air. make a diff fliter. like the ram air goes right in the filter now that would be cool. can i help. you with it. i want to be a project tester. dam it lol.

 

+1

 

Light-weight 2-piece brake rotors can save several pounds per corner. There are lighter wheels available. Remove the entire A/C assembly (this is weight off of the front of the car which is better than removing weight from the rear). Light-weight 2-piece aluminum or carbon fiber drive-shaft. Remove stereo and speakers. Carbon fiber trunk lid with no spoiler. Light-weight battery relocated to rear of car....

 

i remember seeing carbon fiber doors for the evo8 on some site, looks badass

i know all them CF Stuff's expensive but he wants weight reduction..and i dunno
about yall but try taking one of your doors off, they're heavy as hell.

anyways, did anyone post about those CF doors up yet? i dont remember the site but if i
run across it again i'll let yall know.
