door panels, carpet, passengers seat, headliner, scrape off the sound deadener on the floor, all trunk panels, rear seat side panels, windshild wiper fluid resivior, center console.

going to extremes...dashboard and a/c and p/s equipment

i just helpe justin99rs strip most (well...almost ALL) of his interior the other day. he did most of the work (because i wasnt there), but i think with both of us working together we could have had the car totally stripped (minus the dash) in under 2 hours easily.

edit....just noticed you said you took out the passengers seat. my bad. ;)

i wouldnt gut my car if i was you. i just dont think that small amount of weight is worth having the whole interior ripped apart. if its a daily driver that is*

performance: K&N intake, 2.5 piping w/ magnaflow, msd wires, pacesetter header, ported tb, custom short shifter
suspension: 1.5 tenzo drop, rear strut bar.
looks: stock skirts, stock 16s, leather interior
future: rear disc, star stage 1

My cousin has a 00' 5spd Neon with an intake and I kill him with my stock 5spd Eclipse.
