Exactly what the bloke with his name in pink writing said.
It's 50/50 some of it just trolling.
I can appreciate the advantage of removing some interior for a weekend at Santa Pod
I can appreciate fully stripping, caging and prepping your interior if the car is a dedicated track toy (a'la Jonny S16, Ben306 Rallye)
What I can't understand is doing this to your daily driver. I just don't get it.
The Honda Integra Type R is like the holy grail of FWD hot-hatch-dom, but it still has uber comfy seats, sound-proofing, rear seats with seatbelts, a rooflining, doorcards, no exposed wires, carpet and a moderate level of comfort about its interior. It's also a few tenths quicker than a GTi6 in the process.
Just saying. Stripping a perfectly good GTi6 seems like you're removing a little bit of its' charm. The whole appeal of a hot-hatch is that it is both quick and practical. Now yours is still practical, but only in the same way as a Ford Transit Connect / Astravan. Only not economical. IMO, if you wanted a car with two seats, to be fast, to strip down to the bare essentials and use everyday, you should've got a Toyota MR2 or similar...Boosted MX5 maybe...
