Has anyone ever removed there rear seats? If so did you put something in place to separate the cabin and the trunk, if so what'd you use? Ok dumb question alright but still just curious! Thanks

*Hi Andy, I figured you would look at this*

 

Just left it empty.

 

IMO, the back looks much more cleaner and open without any rear seats and that "trunk privacy board" with nothing to block off the trunk from the rest of the car.. I removed my rear seats, rear seat belts, and separated the carpet from the back of the rear seats and layed it flat over the bottom portion where the lower seats were. It looks good and its a great excuse to use for your friends that want a ride.. It also makes that rear strut bar stand out ..

 

True I like the excuse that oh cant drive, two seats only, heh. But I need that privacy cause i'm gonna hide a nitrous bottle, maybe two later on. heh fun aint it?

 

i did what ntgr8d did. I like it and it is a good excuse to not drive people.

 

or you can just get the J's pillar bar.

 

are you referring to a coupe or sedan?

 

I always wanted a two seater.....

Just leave it open, you can fit more stuff.

If you want to hide a nitrous bottle, ditch the spare tire and mount the bottle under there.

 

The coupe, well i wanna get to the bottle easier. So no ones put anything to separate? If anyone has and you live in So Cal, wanna help me? Heh Thanks

how do you take the rear seats out of a sedan without breaking them?

 

my teg is a one seater. . . . . a good excuse for no rides. everyone wants a ride in the boosted itr i hate giving rides
i used to just keep it bare sheet metal , but i just take the carpet off the back seats that connect in the trunk and just kinda lke lie it down in place of the seats so it looks like it has a nice clean flow to it .

 

So no one's separted the cabin and trunk? I was gonna use a piece of wood, but i dont know how to get the shape. So if anyones done it i'd wanna trace it. Thanks!

 

hehe you can say that again

 

wood = weight, if your gonna run nos, i'm assuming your using your car for performance. I'm not too sure how you would bolt up the wood to your interior panels anyways, it would look kind of awkward.. But its up to you, try finding a lighter type of material if you want to block off your trunk.. Peace

 

wow u guys got me thinking i want to take up my seats now, i never use them and when i had my EG i took those out.....hmmmmm ill have to think about this one, only thing was taking out the seats in the eg was hard as hell, how hard is it in the teg.

 

really easy -- two plastic clips on each side and then one bolt for the bottom -- takes 5 minutes.

 

well i would use lighter weight material but im strapping the bottle behind it so it gonna be tough enough to hold. I'm planning on using carpet used on sub boxes to cover it and use somethings here and there to keep it in place. Still just gotta find someway to get the shape. If i do end up doing this i'll post some pics, should look nice. Thanks

Still no one? Damn it gotta do it the hard way.

 

i took mine out too.. i love it- no rides and more room for those late night shanagins and what not.....

 

The rear seats are really light, probably 10 pounds or less.

 

27 pounds to be exact , every pound counts, I never believed I could remove soo much weight from my car by just removing simple unnecessary things (well at least not necessary to me..), now my car weighs less then a stock itr (but still no ***** yet). http://www.dohcresearch.com/AA/ntgr8d/index2.htm click here if your curious, I forgot to weigh the spare tire and jack, but you can take an estimate from there..

As for your "board covering" problem, I thought it over and maybe you should invest in a rear strut bar? Even if its a cheaper one, it will still do its job (just make sure it has a rigid frame setup), and you could zip-tie the bottle to the bar.. The bars are pretty sturdy, my friend had his Nakamichi sub tied up to his obx bar. If you have the "trunk privacy" board on (the flapping one), I don't think you can see in the trunk from the cabin, or if worst gets to worst, use a bed sheet (thats what I did when I had a sub in the back). That way you won't need an extra piece of wood in your car and it would still be safe to drive with your bottle strapped on.. Peace

 

This is what I did

 

how do you get the back piece off? i took the bottom out but i havent been able to get the back off

 

thats wut i did, i dunno if its just tegs but the back of the rear seats are held on by lil snaps and when u take em off u can just fold em down like show. looks good unless the carpets messed up, your R's interior is in awsome shape, should be, no R should have a messy interior work of art

 

there is like a clip on each side that you pop off and the seats should pull right out
