You need to lose all of the Sound Deadining tar from the floor… No sence in stripping the interior out if youre leaving all the sound deadning… Big weight savings by removing that shit. ---

I wouldn’t say big weight savings, maybe 100-150 lbs I was going to strip my sound deadening but it’s a pain in the cock and not really that worth it ---

Its easy as hell to get it off, dry ice, hit it with a hammer, it breaks into peices… If you wanna do it and need a hand let me know… Its definatly worth it to get rid of it… Plus it looks a hell of a lot better without it ---

From an S14 though… “So far between sound deadening, random brackets, bumper supports, air bags, the difference between stock exhaust and my new trust titanium, plus some other things… It all weighed up a little over 150lbs” …I couldn’t imagine the sound deadening material being 100lbs-150lbs of that. 😉 > **[Heavypork 1995 Nissan 240SX Specs, Photos, Modification Info at CarDomain](http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2993555/1995-nissan-240sx/)** > > Check out Heavypork 1995 Nissan 240SX in Loch Ness,CT for ride specification, modification info and photos and follow Heavypork's 1995 Nissan 240SX for updates at CarDomain. ---

I’m bringing it to have the cage welded and when I do the misc. rust spots, hatch holes and floor pan/frame rail are getting welded too. But I wanted the suspension and seats in BEFORE that so the cage could tie it all in. Also the seats needed to be mounted anyways so the Harness bar height could be correct. > [@Jersey Fresh"](#): > > You need to lose all of the Sound Deadining tar from the floor… No sence in stripping the interior out if youre leaving all the sound deadning… Big weight savings by removing that shit. No thanks. I’m not trying to soak every .1 whp out of this car. I like comfort in my interior. I’m putting a new carpet in at some point this summer too. I wasn’t the one who stripped it. I’m glad the back seat is gone though. > [@GB: Rota Wheels v2](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/gb-rota-wheels-v2/17616/42): > > Ernie…how about a nice bet for the 16th? 😉 I have thought about your bet but here’s the deal: 1.)

My response to #2 is “You now have a SUBSTANTIAL increase in power.” 4.) I will accept your bet in September. By then the RB will be up and running in the hatch and the playing field will be level: We will BOTH have experience there, we will BOTH have good suspension setups, and we will BOTH have good power.
