Whats required interior wise?

[funkytown]

So i've been striping out all the interior

Whats required to remain legal?

Rear vision mirror i assume is a must.

The light in the center of the roof, the sun visors and the lights near the rear vission mirror i assume can all go?

I am certified two seater so the rear door cards i assume can go - fronts have to stay. High stop light has to stay.

I have found a rubber like mat that goes under the pedals up the firewall which i've yet to remove.. can i remove that?

And which of the dash panels can go/stay? Im thinking potential to bash ones knees or something.

If there are any other gotcha's please post up. No apologies for my dumb questions if any above, im only trying to get it right / legal.

drivers sunvisor has to stay for WOF

black rubber underseal can all come out

not sure about the crashpad though

roof lining

door cards (rear can go ) maybe front ones can be removed and replaced with carbonfibre sheeting

remove all the internal rear door hardwear

[funkytown]

forgot to say - the windows are electric - so kept the rear switches and the motor internals so they still work - i know its weight begging to get out - but i love driving with all the windows down. No aircon, it gets hawt.

crashpad = rubber mat thing on the floor and runs up the firewall?

[DRFVDR]

yeah was guessing

replace rear glass with lighter stuff

I have a full set of rear glass if u need to take patterns

[funkytown]

thanks - not getting 'that' serious at this stage

Just getting down to minimum for caging.

[DRFVDR]

Oh you will

or strip the running gear out of the wagen and find a r shell

[WRXONP]

u can pull the rubber out from under the dash..its purely sound deadning... which all of this can be removed...

like u said u can remove rear door cards as u dont have seats there..front door cards must stay..

top half of the dash is a must...bottom half can go...

roof lining is a must as is the pillar plastics in which u can bang ur head on ....this is all stuff i got quoted on for a old car i had which VTNZ told me about

Funky likes his wagon, whole point of doing this was to be a bit different with it. Coupes are overdone

If you have a well known brand of full bucket seats (driver and passenger) and you use the stock rails on them, then you dont have to cert them, however if you use aftermarket rails as well then you have to cert them just go to the nearest performance shop and theyll be able to tell you what places you can go to. Im able to tell you some in hamilton and rotorua but dont think thatll be a lot of help lol

You won't have a roof lining or pillar trims with a cage in the car.

and wagons are completely underdone. i love having something no one else does

[GC8E2DD]

I reckon you should cage it with FOUR fixed back seats in it - now THAT would be unique. Group track rides anyone?

thats bullshit, a mate of mine has two raceseats in (brides full bucket seats) and get a wof every time, doesnt matter where he goes, its a trueno coupe. HOWEVER he has certed his car for being a two seater. but the seats dont need a cert as long as you use the stock seat rails and the seats are of a well known brand. however if you want to make it a two seater instead of a 4 or 5 whatever yours is atm youll need to get a cert for that, and if you get a cert for that you can just cert the seats at the same time on aftermarket rails (wont cost any more)... hope this helps

Have it certed as a 2 seater and make sure it is changed on the rego as well

I havent had a roof lining in for like 2 years, no issue with WOF, When I retrimmed the pillar trimss I got WOF without them too, dont think there will be any issue there. Not with Funkys WOFer anyway.....106db meh its not thaaat loud haha.

[funkytown]

hahaha johno. my wof guy is practical and looks for the important 'safety' things.. he takes the view that its a motorsport car and is realistic about noise and subjective things.

[nt_a_foz]

My brothers GTI Pulsar has fixed backed bucket seats (similar to racepros etc real deep) that have been put in. However they are NISMO and out of the N1 pulsar factory supposidly so they bolt straight in. Never had a issue with wof and i thought you had to have reclinable in a 2 door also

[GC8E2DD]

Did it have adjustable seat rails? I wonder if one or the other is enough; whereas fixed back and fixed position might be a WOF fail in a two door?

[nt_a_foz]

Good point, Yeah it had adjustable rails so could move back and forward. Probably right in saying that man.
