How hard is it to take the seats out and does it make much difference to performance? If it's not too hard how did you do it.

My rear seats/tyre/tool setup weighs 49kg so its a fair amount of weight you can save.  The cars are already front biased with the weight distribution, so taking weight out the rear just exasperates it IMO.  Tbh, i never bother taking mine out for trackdays, i just get in the car, drive to the trackday and then drive around the track, no prep needed  :innocent:.  

It might also explain why mike ended up facing the wrong way on track lol :driver:

One torx screw from behind the bench on the boot.  One torx screw for the seat belt.

Bottom bench pulls out.

Takes 2 minutes  :happy2:


The rear bench must weigh around 30 kilos! Must make a difference.  Bit childish but  exhaust sounds  great with the seats out lol.

I couldn't believe how heavy the back seats were  :surprised:

Must be 25kgs in the 60% split seat back rest part alone.


Track pics looks really great Mike.  :drool:
