The trunk itself on mine has been perma-stripped-out for a while now, but I have yet to move forward to the plastics just behind the seats. Will probably be coming up soon though, for the same reason (make it easier/cheaper for a local shop to weld in a 4-pt rollbar setup and attach harnesses, and then probably leave them off).
What about the wimpy stock bar/tube that goes across the rear interior? I'd think with even a 4-pt rollbar in place you've got far more strength than that dinky thing ever offered, may as well kill it right? |
That's right they weigh 19lbs without. I'm guessing the brackets and rails weigh about 5lbs. So I'm guessing overall it's about 20lbs in savings per seat over factory (give or take a couple). I put them in today and you can defiantly feel the the difference in weight. I just know my car that well. Probably make up for it when the cage goes in. I also removed the seat belts. They weight about 4lbs.
So far as the rear tube bar I think I'm going to remove that all together. Wasn't really sure if it has a purpose now.

There's a small story behind that but it actually worked in my favor. That why if I have bigger passenger at the track they can ride wihtout me being worried about if they can fit. Instructors too.
