Anyone have a good resource for cheap lightweight carpet sets for the 914? I'm not looking for anything special just something to cover areas that need carpet so I'm legal for PCA BX or FM classes.

Also does anyone make a carpet that fits into the area where the backpad fits? I ripped out the backpad and dont want to put it back in as now I can recline my seat.

Hi Grant,

If it's a race car in carpet clothing.....do what I did with my 2.7/6 when I ran it GM and Y class...Home Depot Carpet!

$25 will do the whole car's interior. Just cut with a utility knife and use 3M spray.

Here's a few links to some of the things I did to my old car to lighten her up.

Project Jenny Craig #2 with Home Depot Carpet

Give's you an idea of what you can do if you paint and carpet the car yourself!

Have fun! Can't wait to get back out there and compete with you guys someday... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

The rubber backed carpet that we used to use, is currently unavailable, but we do have a lightweight carpet that we used to make the tan carpets out of that we can use, it is very lightweight, we discontinued it because it was so lightweight, that it wasn't good for daily usage. It would be good for light use. We also have two materials for the backpad, there is a perlon type material that would be very inexpensive that is super light. Anyone who wants samples can pm me and I will send them out for free.

Thanks Bill! I'm probably going to hang in FM class to start, but will eventually go similiar route as you and others with completely gutted car. I'm just letting my driving skills progress with the car. I figure it will take me another year before I'm ready to throw around lots of horsepower and big race slicks.
