    Will stripping interior affect handling?

    If taking out all standard seats and replacing with light bucket seats make enough of a difference in weight to affect handling on standard tuned suspension?

    dont think you will notice any difference apart from the fact that a lighter car will perform better in terms of acceleration/top speed but again by how much thats another story some of the other guys on here with stripped out cars could advise im sure

    Mine was skittish with rear interior out.

    If you want to do that imo you want to get some adjustable suspension.

    Both my 172 and Williams were ruined with interior out and as such always ended up putting it back in.

    i've done it had it like that for two and a half years now, the back end is definately more lively, but other than that, just noisey :P

    Noisy in good way, or bad?

    Did you remove the thick boot carpet?

    My valver is totally gutted and the rear end is rather skittish with the stock suspension, however I have now moved the battery to the rear and that has helped make it more stable
