In a Corsa 1.6 Sport, would back seats/plastics/ sound deadening & rear side panels removed, make a noticeable differance on the road?

Thanks, as I am looking at removing the lot tomorrow. But if It aint going to make a diff I won't bother. Thanks.

My car is lowered 60mm so the back seats are useless anyway. Thought about stripping the whole back out and removing sound deadening and spraying the back gloss black.

That's a fair bit!

So probs 35-40 kgs with the whole of the rear removed roughly you reckon?

Yeah i reckon, and even more with the spare wheel out, do it, i felt the difference

Just the road and exhaust noise is going to be very loud with the sound deadening out, but its free 'power'

Free power like you say, exhaust and road noise doesn't bother me in the slightest, I don't have a pipe and slippers

Cheers mate, I really want a Skyline but for the time being I want to have a play with the 1.6, it seems fairly quick as it is but want to improve on that so I reckon stripping whole rear out inc. sound deadning should make a nice differance.

I was think about when I had the 60mm with ET38 Ripspeed wheels with 195/50/15 tyres. Now I have the ET49 195/45/15 tyres it won't rub.

Still I don't give people lifts so I can take them out
