you could cut out hood and roof supports (then cage it). gut the dash, get a hole saw and cheese everything, cut bolt heads down, drill out bolt centers, remove any unnecessary wiring harnesses. remove sound dampening, strip electrical tape off harnesses

So this is going to be a stock track civic?

Ditch the fat girlfriend and work out.

Just ditch the whole plan, your car without sound deadening is going to be unbearable.

Driving a gutted car, is not as fun as you think it will be =/


If you do all this gutting... look into solid poly mounts DIY.... Do every "not worth it for DD-ing" mod out there lol

I did the solid poly mounts on my civic, but instead of using window weld, I used this cement crack patch stuff that takes about 6 days to cure and I used the hardest stuff they had. Now my steering wheel vibrates so bad, I can't read the Apex'i Rev/Speed Meter that's mounted to the steering column.

And also, if you cut out all the hood and roof supports, nothing's better than the sound of sheet metal flapping in the wind.
