Noz Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 just want some opinions guys. im 5"10 and theres no way I can put a adult behind me while in the car, so its a 3 seater to be fair. whats peoples views on taking the seats out, some people have said its a bad idea as it ruins the looks but ive got limo tint so you wont be able to see anyway. im only NA so any weight reduction will help, they've gotta weigh a couple kilo's?

DuaneT.Turbo Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I took mine out and installed harnesses, probably save 10 - 15kg.... not much extra noise suprisingly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

t-one234 Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 ive been thinking about this, but i decided against it as im going to keep my car OEM+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuaneT.Turbo Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Do you have a rollcage? No.. I attached them to my back seatbelt points at the moment... Im aware that some people think this can be dangerous if the angle is too low but i do very limited mileage a week if its actually used so until i purchase a harness bar im sure i'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted April 27, 2011 Author Share Posted April 27, 2011 ive been thinking about this, but i decided against it as im going to keep my car OEM+ what engine you running? the seats must be nearer 20kg at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 It does detract from the looks if you just take the seats out and leave it. If you do something along the lines of what Jay did (Jevansio) then I think it can look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monsween Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 They shall be coming out, Just didn't get round to it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I'll be keeping mine in place - looks weird without them!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsween Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 I think it looks better. No added road noise as i've got foam and carpet laid down. It'll be getting a re-jig when I take out the seat belts but overall i'm really happy with it. However most people say put the seats back in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmcc42uk Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 any more pics of Supras with rear seats taken out? Is it just a case of folding the existing boot carpet down to make it look tidy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonc Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I quite like what Inferno did to his interior when he removed his back seats. Well to be fair his whole project was stunning:shock: but his rear seat removal was very tidy . Use this link and scroll downhttp://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?220866-My-Supra-Restored-and-Built-from-the-Ground-Up./page25 it may give you an idea.

Mario Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 just a picture so you can see how it is done in my supra, they removed the rear seats and installed a ''porsche'' carpet, custom made to fit the supra, bought at suprasport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
