Between 5 and 8 lbs.

Its quite light. You have better luck removing your system if you have one, and the rear folding seat, That has a large metal plate in it.

If you want to know how much something weighs, weight yourself, then weigh yourself hold that peice.

well i would ... but i have a girlfriend ... so i need atleast one other seat .... she doesn't mind if it is the back or the front from her words .... she never ment anyone as passionate as i am into racing and my car . she respects that and helps me out with it ... compliments me and buys me little things . spark plug wires and plugs ... oil sometimes gas ... so the least i can do is leave atleast 1 other seat besides mine . what yall think would be the better seat to pull out ?

well i took the fron seat out ..... i like that look . when my girlfriend gfets her car i will take the rear out also . felt like more then 35 lbs ... i unload 18 wheelers for my job and i lift anywhere from 10 to 100 lbs boxes .... i would say 35- 40 lbs for the seat . i need to hook my b&m shift plus back up dso i can shift faster in the auto .

lol nice one . i'll run that by her ..... i don't know why but i like the look of it without the front seat .... i dunno . itmust just be me ... i went and talked to someone that jut bought a 01 celica gt with muffler and coilovers and they looked inside my car and said u must racea lot . and i said yeah somewhat and they said i wouldn't race u ... i started smilin ... i don't have much i mean it kinda quick but yeah .... i still tryin to decide whether i want a turbo or all motor ... i gonna finish my suspension off first though . with koni yellows and eibach sportline springs . i got vibrant strut bars on the way as we speak . and i got lightwieght 16 inch rims with z rated tires . its getting there ... slow but steady ... but i am very happy with it cause when i bought it it was completely stock . and so much is done to it right now .. and just the thought that i did allof it myself makes m happy . j body for life for me ... i love everything about them . the only thing that would make it better is if it was a manual but oh wel work with what u got . besides .. the b&m shift plus helps that out a lot . so what yall think ?
