Well, I can always remove the diagonal bar to make the rear seats functional. Plus, I need the interior to cover up what's in the trunk.

ditch the rear shit...

hahahah... HARNESSES. ...in a 240.
lol

Does anybody with a 240 even use the backseats anyways? (for passengers anyways)

Johny5 · 09-03-2009, 11:43 AM

yes, the other day a friend of mine road backseat in my s14. it was amazing, he said the sub was louder in the back than the front <3

94cc0rd · 09-03-2009, 11:46 AM

Johny5 · 09-03-2009, 11:48 AM

*Brian* · 09-03-2009, 12:12 PM

lol, Forrest's car is "kind of" full interior.

rsibley22 · 09-03-2009, 12:50 PM

gnarly cage

cemtoes · 09-03-2009, 02:02 PM

Well if your gonna strip it atleast do a good job...and if your going to put a cage in you might as well strip it, having a cage and back seats doesn't make any sense unless you aesthetically like the look of having back seats ect ect.

probably one of the cleanest stripped interiors ever.

i got the rear seats if yah need em

ShereKhan · 09-03-2009, 03:29 PM

I like having rear seats and i use them for that third person that wants to roll with me. I only stripped my carpet because it was already screwed up and i kept catching my feet on it while shifting. I also took out the top cause my head kept rubbing on it, so i got pissed one night and pulled over and just tore it out. Much more head room

*scottie* · 09-03-2009, 03:55 PM

The car im currently building has a 10pt cage and there really isnt a way to put all the interior back in. If you tie the points of the cage to the best (or legal) way you would have to go through the seats really. Who the hell thinks that would look good or be useful? Secondly we are talking about a f'kin 240sx here people. Since when is the interior in these POS' considered nice? I wouldnt strip a Mercedes or BMW but a 20 year old nissan, I dont have a problem if it gets in the way.

For me personally I like both. Both have some pros and cons about them. I love the look of a race car. I like how its cold, simple, purposeful, flips you the middle finger. But for a DD I would keep it because it does cut out noise, allows others to ride and does cover all the guts of a chassis. If you are going to strip her, you must repaint (not spray canned) in order to execute it properly.

Take the Porsche GT3 RS. I wouldnt strip this thing because of the quality of interior. So I totally get why they did a 4pt cage.

Im not sure if I like how he chopped the door panels up to get them to fit. Looks good from arm rest up buuuuuuut not sure after that. Maybe if he had cut it a little differently. Just my opinion.

FusionR240sx · 09-03-2009, 04:19 PM

pointless to take it out.
waste of time.
just makes the car louder.

sidewaysil80 · 09-03-2009, 06:34 PM

basically what i do (doing over since i bought my old car back) is its completley stripped (sound deading, insulation, back seats, panels etc.) full weld in cage. painting the ENTIRE interior black. then i'm throwing my front carpet/doorpanels/center console/dash/ kick panels back in. i can't rock a pillars/headliner since the cage but this way looks HELLA clean. especially since door panels and glove box, as well as shift boot/arm rest cover will be black suede.

projectRDM · 09-03-2009, 06:51 PM

All this shit is stupid in my opinion.

Stripped interior on a daily driven car is stupid. It does not look cool, it scores no point except with fanboys who, if you're anything remotely worth a damn, you could care less about. Your real friends, family, wife, etc. will all wonder why you just took apart a perfectly good car.
Cage on a street car is stupid. Unless you drive with a helmet, you've just installed a large pipe to kill you in an accident. Nice job.
Cage with interior is stupid. Why cut up good interior parts to fit a cage? Some poor fool out there with brown interior is crying at that moment when you break out the hole saw.

A cage is for a dedicated track only car, meaning trailered to the event, not driven. You guys who track on weekends, you don't count. Track car as in no lights, wipers, etc. And in a track car, you have no interior, period. None of this front only or half way, you have a seat, wheels, and some gauges bolted to the crossbar. If you keep the dash, please hope it's gutted and chopped up.

Using a cage for chassis rigidity is a decent idea as long as it's a 4pt only, and even then it looks silly as hell.

Just my 2cents, Don't want to step on any toes.

*S13Teddy* · 09-03-2009, 06:55 PM

Quite honestly, who gives a fuck? Surely I do not, and nobody else should either.

Do what you want with YOUR car.

uraznfriend · 09-03-2009, 07:05 PM

i dont understand why everyone is hating on the back seat i kno its small but i managed to fit like 5 small asian girls in the back

Matej · 09-03-2009, 07:16 PM

Personally I prefer stripped interior, but with all exposed metal covered in polar bear skin.

BoostSlideWayz · 09-03-2009, 07:31 PM

for me i stripped the whole thing, but thats only cuz its never gonna be street driven. just track. and yeah i kinda did feel a difference.. i mean.. when i put it all in a pile and tried picking the majority of it up it was really hard to. but for a car you drive to school or work isnt somthing you wanna strip down. but did your friend really strip his whole interior to beat a mustang ? i dont think thats worth it.

s0apgun · 09-03-2009, 07:37 PM

full interior

minus rear seats

i'll be placing a deck covered in seude with speakers in it where the dips are for the rear seats

still a clean look and gives me room for anything else

*Brian* · 09-03-2009, 08:05 PM

I await the day when an 18 wheeler hits me head on.
I'm going to totally wish I didn't have my JDM cage.

s0apgun · 09-03-2009, 08:07 PM

hey man can i have your cage if you die?

*Brian* · 09-03-2009, 08:11 PM

yeah, you can.
You gotta cut it from my mangled heap of a car though.

s0apgun · 09-03-2009, 08:12 PM

should i cut around your brains ?

*Brian* · 09-03-2009, 08:16 PM

yeah, brain matter and skull fragments EVERYWHERE.
