Hey what?s up guys, ok well im really bored and want to work on my car, so im thinking about taking out the carpet, but I cant deside, my brothers old NA was fully stripped and was noisy and it got really hot, your legs would BURN lol, I just don?t like my tan carpet at all, its old, dirty and looks like ****. But I can?t decide, plus my cars black, with black hardtop so once summer comes around BURN MOTHAAAAA.... lol BURN!
I know a few of you guys have no carpet, what do you guys think?
Does it really get that hot without carpet?
How about noise?
Pics?

- Thanks

Dont do it. If you do then make sure you dry ice/simple green the whole floor and spray it becuase it looks real ugly under there.

 

[Max_Power]

I wouldn't...your car looks so clean man!
Just put a black one...I sold a perfect 3 piece black carpet for $70 on eBay.

 

[xvolcomx19]

yeah if i strip it im going to really clean it up so looking nice is not a issue,heat and noise is what im thinking about.. :?:
i dont think my inter looks clean, its pretty simple,i was thinking of just getting some black carpet,but..hmmmm...

 

[xvolcomx19]

Heres my inter, #-o

 

[H_C]

WHAAAT? Your interior looks extremely clean! I saw one with black spots, and torn carpets. If I were you, I'd just shampoo and vaccum the carpet.

 

[xvolcomx19]

thanks, but i want it all black, im thinking of switching everything thats tan to black.
what do you guys think? should i? or should i not?

 

[CrimsonMX5]

no input on a stripped miata..


but i been in a few stripped out cars..

lots of road noise, and yes its very hot lol

heat from the tranny, and lots of heat getting trapped inside from the sun..

for a track car sure, but for daily no thanks. IMHO

its upto you really.

Switch it all to black. Dont strip it. You will regret it later. Its not the carpet that insulates from heat and noise its the insulation under that. Plus the welds under there look horrable.

 

[Max_Power]

Can you remove the floor mats and take a few pictures of the carpet?
I think I know somebody from the club that wants to do the opposite, so maybe you can meet and you can swap carpets!

Hey Gus,

Paul Martin(V8-Roadster) is in Burbank, CA and I know he wants to swap his black interior for tan like Max_Power did!

PM him!

What's that they say, "Once you go black..."

[coupeloop]

yes swap it out to black, i dont get why mazda would put leather in this car, trying to make it luxurious bahaha, and if you did strip it, are you from vegas? cause thats what it says on ur location. good luck with that in the summer buddy, i had carpet in my miata, with my hardtop on in cali and i almost had heat stroke (114 that day, no a/c)

...if you did strip it, are you from vegas? cause thats what it says on ur location.

THEN HE'D BE A VEGAS STRIPPER!

:lol:

 

[PYTHON]

man carpet does not weigh ****!! keep it. find other stuff to take out.

 

[phinz]

Or put a '99 10AE interior in it...

 

[phinz]

yes swap it out to black, i dont get why mazda would put leather in this car, trying to make it luxurious

I prefer leather seats, but not for the luxury. I just like the feel of leather, and the patina it gets as it ages. I'm actually thinking about putting leather seats in my xB.

 

[xvolcomx19]

hmmmm well ok i made up my mind im going to strip it, and im going to contact v8 and see if he would like ot trade, im not doing this as a weight issue, im just doing it because i don tlike my carpet lol, idk why.. dont ask haha... its just one of those things YOU notice about your car and its liek blah, but thanks alot for the input guys, if v8 wants to switch then i might switch idk, well see.... only if i had a cam.. =/
