Talking Should I gut it....

I have new plans for the interior, since Im doing more motor work now. I still wanna stick with a nice looking interior while going for more of a "race" look. So here's what I'm thinking:

1) Remove rear seats
2) Replace front seats with these:


3) Throw a racing harness support brace across the back of them
4) A pair of green Takata 4 point harnesses
5) recarpet the floor with new black carpeting
6) Build a wall to fill the gap to the trunk and carpet it to match
7) Keep my single Audiobahn and Amp for the long drives in the trunk


Please lemme know what you guys think of this, cause I wanna start gutting her out this weekend!

sounds great, as long as you don't often need to carry more than one passenger

I think Ive had people in my rear seat maybe 4 times in the past 2 years, so as long as I keep the front 2, I'll be fine. Im thinking of even doing a set of Evo recaro's

black carpet sounds sick, and taking out the rear seats might shed some pounds that will help u in the 1/4 mile. i heard that bride seats costs an arm and a leg though. i looked it up one time and i found one of there standard seats going for $800-$1000 A SEAT!

love the seats.


however, on your list, you may want to consider getting a full roll cage if you are putting in harnesses. this is due to the harnesses not allowing for any movement of the body in the event of a roll, and thus the possibility of the caving roof crushing you in the process. with conventional seat belts, the driver and passengers can generally move around enough so that they avoid the crumpling roof. a roof not reinforced by a roll cage can prove to be deadly if harnesses are used.

just a word of advice.

no problem man i really like the looks of your lancer now so that would most definitely make the interior look sick.
