Would this be concidered a "barbaric" act of vandelism?

My only gripe and i think im answering my own question is for the amount of weight saved there would be minimal performance gained and a LOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT of comfort sacfrificed.

Anyone know of anyone whos tried it.????

As of now its my second car so its only going to be a thrash about for fun machine!!!:devil::devil::devil::devil:

Stripping it makes a big difference if your talking rear seats carpets air con etc I did car handles notably better more mpg and goes quicker stops harder, if your not talking a proper strip job then no it's waste of time.

Shaun from Racebits stripped out a Mondeo ST and it was posting some good times at Santa Pod. Like JJ said though, unless you're completely stripping it out then probably not worth it :thumbsup:
 
Im very very tempted. But no going back i fear once started. Do you think if i done it i should go the full roof and door car linings, aircon and carpets out!!!!!!
 
Yep whole lot rubber mats for floor and just some thin Perspex/plastic sheep to cover doors once you remove door cards.

Honestly transforms the car I can only talk about my car which has suspension mods brakes etc but transformed it air con removal saves weight and drag on the engine so is a double bonus mine has been ripped put pump pipes the lot.

Well once i mot it i dont think i have anything to loose, but gain a cougar lightweight. Well excitied. With the aircon removal do you have to tidy up any pipes or cap anything off?

No cut them at bulk head if permanent removal I reckon the whole A/C system is 10-12kg easy Inc pump/pipes/rad etc.

Also change from seats Inc sub frames massively heavy arrangement side mount buckets will again save a huge amount, both airbags from steering wheel and passenger side is another 8-10kg easily. I think in total 150-180kg saving is minimum that can be made that's two average size blokes!.
