gutted car=oven?

[confused9]

hey nico so my s13 is gutted but i have yet to drive it because it's being built but do you think it'll make it hotter without interior? when it's hot obviously. i know it's too late to go back and i don't care either way i'm just wondering. thanks guys

[scotty-2-forty]

Hmm, well without insulation especially in the headliner, one would think yes. But it might be negligible and dependent on the weather (obviously). Do you have a/c?

[badbob2121]

who cares...roll the windows down....

[numbnuts240]

i think he's referring more to heat from the engine and transmission. op, it's going to be hotter. and it's never too late to go back.

hence the not caring part

i was referring more to the lack of insulation but yes that too. i love the way it looks gutted though. it looks more mechanical and looks how it's going to be built.

[scotty-2-forty]

^^^ I didn't say that! ^^^

[duffman1278]

quit being a baby about it. Nothings going to happen, just roll the windows down like someone else said.

Maybe his windows are painted shut ... ever think of that? Huh? Huh????

[confused9]

holy crap i guess no one reads anymore..i said i don't care either way it was just an interrogative..jeez. and yea what if my windows are painted shut!?! scotty-2-forty's got my back

gutted interior = hotter when its hot, colder when its cold and hella noisy

[nismoracingsx]

all dd should have interior to me, it just seems silly to roll around in a gutted car that runs on the street..
to each his own.

^ werd. ive past the stage of even wanting my backseats out and stuff like that

Wait. 240's have a back seat?

[TheRealNap0le0n]

they do for girls and midgets

[scotty-2-forty]

they do for girls and midgets

... and small limbless farm animals. Get it right.

And children! I got three of dem bottomless food pits. Backseats are a must!


F**K dat heat, its gonna be soooo noisey for a DD. I wouldnt be able to stand it.
To each his own though.

[CJH]

I enjoy my gutted DD/drift car. But to each there own.

But make sure there is a heat sheild between ur exhaust and where your feet are. I have seen melted shoes to the metal floor.

[240SETulsa]

Id go hybrid take out the back seats.

melt shoes?!? but i like my shoes..

i actually did that in my previous 240 where the seats to the trunk was gutted but while some friends had all interior and some had gutted i started to fall in love with the gutted. i think i'm just gonna wear a speedo and flip flops in the summer and have a thermal blanket for the winter

[Koshin]

gutted street car = hard phail

all of you interior s*** doesnt shed as much weight as a nice pair of Bride seats....just sayin

[mattblancarte]

I've melted two pairs of shoes, too.

Gutted is just really loud... kinda turns your car into an echo chamber.

Temp control is the same deal as when operating with a full-interior. Doesn't get hot in my car unless ambient temps are hot.

Now, running at the track in Phoenix in my nomex suit and safety gear... furnace-status.

[night240]

I guess I'll keep my interior, it's still my daily car.

yes i'm aware of that. the sound deadening s*** it like 40 lbs though but as i said in the beginning it's because i like the way it looks.

[NismoS13Ks]

Insulation reflects heat and noise. Keep the interior. Gutting the interior makes no difference in times that you will see anyway. Hundreds of pounds would need to be removed in order to have a faster car. Be .00001 seconds faster or not hear every pebble on the ground and not be as hot. Hmm

[confused9]

i already did. i realize i can go back but i do like the way it looks. it looks more mechanical and i like how it looks what i'm building it for. yea it's a DD but i can always use my wife's xterra. idk i guess it's hard to explain but my interior sucked and had duct tape covering up sections and it just looked like crap. i like the way the gutted looks but if i go back i'm going to get better interior. it'd be awesome to steal omgshawn's idea with the suede
