Removing Front Passenger Seat

I think after 6 months of you being on Stangnet, we will have a COMPLETE disassembly instructions for our cars just from your threads!

If you post a thread on how to remove your shift knob I will come over to your place, remove it, then throw it at you.

All this free of charge!!!

Man, Dustin you're really going all out for Fri. huh? If you're in the 15's or something (not that I can talk) it'll be pretty freakin' funny. How much weigh would you estimate you've lost so far?

Now it looks like my interior!

Your back seat looks alot cleaner then mine! My insulation and coverings were all tore up when I removed my rear seat, they weren't glued down right. I guess the assembler had a bad day when he made my car.

Just a bit of info for the vert guys... our back seats don't weigh anywhere near what the coupes do. A rear seat delete in our cars is only worth about 15lbs TOTAL. Snoozer was right about the coupes though.... its around 35lbs.

Are you leaving the front pass. seat out or something?

There's nothing worse that assembling the interior after you gutted it.

Have fun putting it all back together.

Joe

now lose the center consol i havn't had mine in for a good 5 months now

Why are you doing this? For the track or something?

Jake

If you want to save even more weight, take out the carpet, the sound insulators, the center console, the glove box, and the interior trim panels. The carpet alone is 30+ pounds, the sound insulators altogether weigh at least as much. The console is another 15+ pounds with all the hardware in there.

Did you take your radio/speakers/amps out yet?

The biggest weight saver you could probably do is take out your A/C, although here in the Southwest, that's not really an option.

Oh yeah, race naked. That's 5-10 pounds of clothing, dadgumit.

OK, I dig thet naked part, but losing the radio/cd player- what kinda fun is that????


then there's the center console- without it, it would look like crap and where would you rest your arm?

If I run a 15 I will kill myslef.

Dustin, I wouldn't count out your car running a 15 tomorrow night...My cobra could only muster a 15.0 last weekend and I'm a pretty good driver (Hoping it was the weather). You are an auto though so maybe you'll hook decent. Good Luck. BTW..there was a 99+ GT running 15.8's last week. There was also a turbo fox that spun em through every gear dude to the traction issues @ fireslick.

here is a pic of where the rear seat release latches are, they are the white things on th front edge of where the seat would be:



take a screwdriver and push in on the front of it and the pin will be released.

I never really liked the idea of taking things out just to race -- it's not really an accurate reflection of ability.

Just my opinion...
