Can anyone show me some pics of thirdgens with the back seats taken out? I am considering removing mine to use all that space back there. No one ever sits in the back anyways. I could fit a lot more stuff back there during long trips and I could also move my amp out of the hatch area.

 

here's something i took really quick.....

I think it looks nasty, but hey - 1) u can keep essentials back there(wheel wipes, quick detailer, rags...) 2) I can throw my bag back there after school and 3) you can't have 3 people all asking "Hey, can you give me a ride?" "Nope, only got 2 seats" and if you're lucky enough to have a g/f... unlike me... but that one would be taken, and you're good to go.

 

I took out my bottom back seats because i didnt want anyone to sit back there, it bottoms out. In the process, i found alot of useful space. I keep the back part attached so that you can fold it down, over all you "stuff" that you decied to fill the space with. And you still maintaine a clean look, i acually like that look better than having two seats in the back full of school books and cd holders, but just my opinion.

 

Thats one of the reason's I did it but it didn't stop some girls from jumping in back and sitting on the floor of my car, so I put the seats back in, just gonna have to get a roll cage so they can't do it again

 

i was thinkin about doing this since stupid new jersey laws when ur 17 u get a provisional license which means u can only drive with one other friend.....so that would have left out the change of getting a ticket for other people in the car

 

mine

 

mine 2

 

I can play too

 

holy cow your car is AMAZING!:hail: :hail: :hail:
i dont even wanna know what it cost you

 

nice ride....how much for the roll cage? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$


:hail:

 

would you believe the cage came with the car.
would you believe that that car is a Firehawk!:hail:

 

Like the way that looks, hmm got me thinking. Since its just me and maybe one room mate most of the time the extra storage space would be nice. So how do i go about removing those seats. I mean it looks like it really opens up some space back there.

 

The back does look a lot cleaner without the back seats...

 

FIREHAWK ????????????? I have to clean up now :hail:

 

I did the same thing as Camar92 - took out the bottom of the seat and keep the top folded down to get plenty of useful space

 

92GTA, does your car even have the raised seat area? It looks like a flat floor all the way back to that wall part.
Love your car btw

 

hey i will take girls any which way they come to me. if they jump in my car then i will take them anywhere they want. lol not really, i play the forgot my wallet occassionally. that may be why i will take them any which way i can. lol

 

Yeah, the interior is just regular Formula with the seats taken out...

 

how long did it take you guys to take out those back seats? ive been thinkin about taking them out, but i might need to be putting them back in every once in a while...so if its too much of a pain in my a$$ i dont want to remove them

 

It's just a matter of 1 bolts holes one each bottom piece and a couple more bolts holding the rest. It takes less than 10 minutes to remove them. I took out the rear in my GTA and for the last years it's just been sitting back there in place not even bolted down, it's doesn't move at all under hard cornering but then again I've never had a person in the back of my GTA since I've owned it so I don't know how it will hold up with people back there...

 

I'm also planning to remove the backseat on my '90 RS. I will fit a rollbar, with a bolted crossbar, so I can attach harnesses like the ones in 92GTA's pic (in blue, w/separate left and right belts). I will bolt the crossbar, so if I need to regain the utility of the rear seat, it won't be in the way when unbolted (already have it designed).

One question GTA, how far back are the rear bars attached (looks like trunk edges, not wheelwell tops)? I haven't removed my rear plastic covers yet, to see where can I attach them.

Appreciate if you had a pic of that.

Thanks,

Thunderboy

 

Here are some more pictures for you:

 

Ya its kinda a Mess!

 

92GTA your interior looks brand new:hail:

and where can I get some of those black covers for where the seats bolt into? or are those firehawk only items

 

good thing i saw all of these pics , i thought i wanted to take the rear seats out of my car but after looking it doesnt look that good, except for the guys with the roll cages , thier interiors look really good.

 

I'd hope it looks like new, the car only has 1,300 miles on it

Those black things are what the seat bottoms bolt too, is that what your're asking about?

 

Yes but on mine and some other's (as you can see in thier pics) we do not have black things jsut some ugly looking metal

 

Hg's are nice and painted, so are the ones in my GTA. I can't really see the one's in the other pics but the ones in my Firehawk should be red like the car but SLP painted them black. The ones in my GTA are the color of the car...

 

But ours don't look so neat and tidy as yours does

 

I see what you mean now, mine are smooth and have sides welded on. I wonder why SLP instead of just removing them all together? I guess because they didn't want to have to replace the original carpet. Hmm, never noticed that before...

 

i designed up a plate to cover up amps, and NOS electro components but i have started making them for the masses, I will have to get a better pic, to sell it to you guys......***Rear Seat Deleting Panel*** this one is Stainless with brush finish, but i have swapped it out for a alum one that is polished better pics well come.. i will get more information for those that want one.


there are neons lighting the underside to show off, amps, and mastermind controls

 

I can't decide whether I want the rear out or not. If I did take it out though I'd have so muck room to mess with. Hmmm

 

I just took em out. (still got the backs in there since i don't have any hex heads or what ever to take the belt off of em) Man i love working on my car (damn poor college student syndrom and apartment complex parking , no jack and too cold), always feel like i accomplished somthing afterwords, even if i don't fix anything. Lots more room back there and even found the key to a tracker under one of the seats. I will probably get pics in the next few weeks once i get a chance to wash the car and vacum the inside. If you don't put someone back there take em out, its one bolt for the bottoms and its easy as hell to do. Massive room increase and with the backs out smooths the look of the interior out quite a bit.

 

I took my seats out for 3 reasons:


A) Needed the extra room so I could transport my mini fridge and Tv

B) To have a permanent 2 seater - no sits or can sit there comfortably so why not.

C) To have fewer parts in my car


The only problem is the hole where the seats were. I just put some extra floor mats over them. I put my cushions back in though because I was transporting some delecate electronics. I am going to take the seats back out when I get home.

 

do you have any pics of the front of the seats?

 

Just click the link in my sig and go the interior pictures...

The seats are Recaro's with special tracks made just forthe 91/92 Firehawk. They were over $1K EACH I'm glad I wan't the original buyer

92GTA, I would really appreciate it if you could fix the pics, please.

 

yea 92 GTA i there all red x... i wanna see some pics

 

Damn dudes, this post is almost 2 years old

 

Girls don't seem to care if my car has seats or not... I drive, I'll have 3 passengers, and two more will still hop in and just sit one someones lap, lol. Hell, I even had one that just sat on the roof when I had the tops off once, lol (for the 1/4 mile ride back to school after lunch BTW when I was in HS lol)

I'm not gonna fight them about it, just makes me look like a stud!

 

Haha beat this. I'm in the midst of taking almost my entire car apart. Its not hard at all to take those seats out by the way, I did all that in like 20 minutes maybe. Ya its got alot of work but I think I'll keep those rear seats http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...page_id=756169

 

Sorry this is as small as I can get the pic,

 

So you gonna fix the pics?

 

Don't know if I should since I don't own the car anymore. I don't want to be spreading around pictures of someone elses car without their permission, especially a VERY high profile car like #003...
