worth taking rear seats out?

[.Tyler]

Easys mate! I tried my car for a couple of days stripped out, even the dash went! Sound is awesome!

 

[imprezaworks]

Cool. Bring on the noise

 

[Tony Hunter]

Leave it alone,won't make a sh1t of difference.

 

[Stava]

And what do you know, with your standard calipers!

 

[Lagerlout]

It does!

I did it (albeit to convert my 172 into a van whilst doing some DIY, rather than a track day) and my exhaust was waaaaay louder inside the cabin which instantly gives 20-30 pbhp (perceived bhp).

The isofix bolt will be your main problem if at all, snapped mine in half when taking my seats out.

Had to saw mine off, I recommend a breaker bar now!

Didn't help that mine didn't come out straight at all :S

 

[imprezaworks]

Any tips?

 

[Stava]

Don't bother

 

[Tony Hunter]

Leave it ALONE.

 

[imprezaworks]

Lol, cheers.

 

[Tony Hunter]

Bet you still have to have a little poke about,just to have a look.

If you do, I'll poke you in the eye with a sh1tty stick.

 

[imprezaworks]

Might have a nosey ha ha. Will be keeping an eye out for that stick

 

[Tony Hunter]

Check your cupboards and under the bed before you go to sleep.

pop of the isofix bar cover loosen 1 bolt a turn or 2 take the other one all the way out, slide the bar back youve now got acess to the bolt that fixes the seats down in the middle, remove this with a torq peice, pull up in each corner of the rear seats and slide out,

simple as that

 

[imprezaworks]

Nice one.

 

[Tony Hunter]

I'm going for a sh1t in a min,must look for a stick.

Just as long as the torx 40 bolt isn't rusted in place!

Ye as above and being that his car is a ph1, it probably will be

 

[one in a million]

think you will shed 25kg of weight, does feel odd when removed, and does drone the old decat inside the car when emptied which is good

 

[Greeny.]

25kg from the backs of the seats? lol the bottoms are made of foam.

 

[Goodj]

removing the rear seats adds 40hp, IIRC

 

[imprezaworks]

Your about four pages too late with that comment. Im under no illusion it will make it go any quicker, im just curious. Cheers for you input though

 

[Munson]

They won't let you out of the pit lane with no back seats unless you have a roll cage.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah okay

 

[Goodj]

Have you tried putting monster stickers on your doors?

 

[imprezaworks]

Brilliant

 

[imprezaworks]

The lads gave it ago but were worried that the bolts were going to snap on the base, rusted on pretty damm well. May just give it a miss, ah well.

 

[clancy]

just go under the car and use a wire brush on the bottom of the bolts to free the dirt from them, should make life easier

[imprezaworks]

Hope you know I was being sarcastic. And tony lol.

 

[Greeny.]

Yes mate, that's what made me laugh you fool, lol.

 

[imprezaworks]

Fair one.

 

[imprezaworks]

Bit of an update. So after removing the seats on Saturday which were a bit of a pain ive had a couple of days to get used to it. Its obviously louder inside which to be honest im liking (at the moment) and it might be in my head but it def feels quicker/lighter. Will see how i get on next Saturday at Oulton.
