Well a DIY is not really needed. Just fold your rear seats down, lift up the little flaps and you will see the bolts holding the seats in place. :) Really simple and fast to take out and put back in.

I would do the seatbelt thing, but here in Japan, I am really not even supposed to have my rear seats out unless I go get my title changed to show only 2 seats. If I do that, then I can't put the rear seats in and if I do and happen to get pulled over by the cops and they look at my title and my rear seats are in with passenger(s), I'm really going to get hammered. Still might do it and just have the title changed in the future. Every bit of weight savings helps this vehicle.

ah....i didn't know they were hiding under that little flap. thx mate!

I just took mine out and was wondering for those of you who have done it too, did you feel a difference in the handling of your car on turns?

Thanks for the pics ... looks v nice, will do this as soon as I get the car
