Toyota 86 How to Remove the Rear Seat

The rear seats will be removed to reduce weight when driving on the circuit. Putting myself in my car and riding three people is only a few times, so there is no particular problem. As for the noise, I always knocked down the rear seat to make it look like a 2-seater, so the sound does not change so much even if the road noise becomes a little louder. I hope the fuel economy will also improve.

done. It’s lighter, but it doesn’t fit in the front seats, so when I have time, I’ll try to make it look like a 14R-60. I’m thinking of putting a mat on the back part and installing a fake backrest.
