Front Seat Removal? SN

[justinschmidt1]

How hard is it to remove the front seat in our cars? The passenger seat only.

ANy idea how much it weighs?

 

[fastgtfairlane]

shouldnt be hard at all. it cant be more than 4 bolts and if you have electric seats then add in a plug. move the seat all the way forward and get the two back bolts then slide it all the way back to get the front two bolts.

 

[justinschmidt1]

yea, thats what I read...wonder how much it weighs?..

30 pounds?

 

[Stangbangin]

yea remvoing that seat won't take you 5 minutes. It's 4 bolts not big deal. good for at least 25 lbs. Remove it with other stuff(spare tire, jack, sub box etc) you could be up to a 100 lbs pretty quick.

The seat if its power will be about 45 pounds.. The power seat track weighs a TON.

 

[justinschmidt1]

Its a manual seat...

Im gonna remove the rear seat, passenger seat, and my front sway bar next time I go to the track.
The trunk is gutted
The cars gonna be pretty empty inside.

It is super simple, and a manual seat is gonna be about 30-40 lbs (not much at all). :thumb:

 

[justinschmidt1]

yea, but things add up. Im sure ill see a differance with a gutted trunk, no back seat, no passenger seat, no front sway bar, and the lighter welds.

Easy in and out, max 40lbs.

sway bar is kind of a waste.. you may pick up a little bit but not much.. just unattach the end links and itll help with weight transfer

 

[justinschmidt1]

so your saying just unbolt the bottom of it? or the top of it?

i remove my seat eveytime i go to the track...i since nobody rides in the passenger or rear sets i have the passenger being held on by 2 bolts and the rear being held on by 3

 

[justinschmidt1]

I dont think ive ever seen you post track times?

I dont drag race.....I went 3 times and it was boring. I even had slicks on and it was boring.

....I go Auto-X and Road Racing every month or so.

i wouldnt want the ends flapping around hitting the a-arms etc... it's an extra 4 bolts to disconnect the bushing
brackets. do work.

tell that to the 8 second quarter mile drivers.. you have to know what your doing, not just anyone can drive a car to sub 11's. Sorry you fail to see that, but its how it is. All auto X and course driving is, is following a good line.. i know i've done it, won 30+ races and placed in the top 3 many times in circle track and road course racing.

i demand vids of this 10.1 evo. otherwise i call b/s
