You should probably get a roll bar rather than a roll cage. The roll cage will likely kill you if you don't have a helmet on when you fuck up (or get fucked up).

Do you have an RSB? You should probably get that first.

No carpet is so ghetto lol.


If I were you I'd just take it out and give it a nice shampooing , let it air dry, and reinstall.

If your gonna leave it out then paint the floor black and build some footpanels for the front driver passenger.

But yea i'd just clean the carpet and put it back... i'm all for racekor but it's probably like a pound or 2 at most lol

It weighs more than you'd think. But certainly negligible at this stage.

The Ody's floor is more flat so there's prolly less foam and shit combined so less weight. I have yet to lift the carpet after it dried so I'm not really too sure how much it weighs lol but weight savings is weight savings :P

If you're serious then (than?) you need to get to work with the dry ice and chisel to break up all the sound deadening crap stuck to the floor.

I bet you save 10 lbs with the carpet out and get another 10-15 lbs from the deadener.

Got rid of the ricer sticker and blue. Re wrapped it in CF since the Yakima sticker was fucked




Also redid the clips since they were more faded than Justin.
