what should i do? interior? strip or fill??
« on: 01 April 2008, 23:33 »
hello there!!!

im gona be starting on my interior soon and i'm stuck for ideas. At the moment im running mk3 vr6 seats front and back, stereo subs etc. Nice to drive, stick my tunes on and bomb it down the b-roads. I love the look of a stripped out caged track slag and im tempted to go down this route. Is there such a thing as an in-between?

I've got some nice rs turbo seats sitting in the garage but to get em re-trimmed, plus the door cards plus the rear bench will cost a fortune. Im thinking about getting some buckets, a painted cage and a carpeted out rear with my subs still in? wat do you all think?

You could always keep some nice comfortable but sporty seats in the front (nothing too heavy), take out the rear seats and carpet the rear, so it looks like one nice bit of carpet (not the old bit with holes for mountings) and then build a nice small and light (fibreglass, not MDF) mounting for 2 speakers, a small sub and an amp.
IE: the stripped out look but without being all cold and metal.

Take all the junk and as much of the interior as you can out from the inside of your car (including the big, fat, dumb subs) and take it out for a drive.  You will be amazed at the difference losing 100kg of tat will make to the handling and responsiveness of your car.

The easiest way of improving performance is 'adding lightness'.

If you want the car for driving enjoyment take out the stereo.  If you want to listen to music get a good home stereo system.  If you want to drive listen to the engine and car.  You'll get more out of it and drive better, as you will be less distracted.
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

yea i took the golf out for a spin with no interior before and it seriously went!! But i use the car everyday and i reckon it could get a bit annoying after a bit, as i dont drive like a tit all the time...

i dont know what to do!!! i like sounds and my beats but i know how much it weighs and im lugging all that weight around with me all the time... :undecided:

I think he was implying that subs are big fat and dumb... which I kind of agree with tbh - in a car anyway.... too much weight, far too much bass and often not backed up with enough component speakers.....

strip it all the way!!!!!!
