Can you feel the difference without the rear seats? Does it get annoying when you want to take more than 2 ppl in the car!? how long did it take to get the back seats out? thinking of doing this so though id get some opinions first!

rear seats weigh nothing, can't feel any difference in performance.
just get more road noise in the car....
better off getting lightweight fronts

Made a noticable difference to mine, although it may be psychological as it's so much louder.
Only issue I have with it is exhaust noise/road noise... also it's raised my rear suspension about 10mm...

They weigh quite a bit, cos when I took mine out the back suspension raised up loads - my 16's were tucked into the arches before... It felt a little bit more responsive, but I'd rather have back seats than to have a tiny bit more throtle response.

i think i'm too sleepy most of the time to notice things........
can't be arsed with "subtle differences"
a windy day could take off more speed then removing seats will add...

Two screws to remove the spnge bench. Then you just unclip the plastic runners on the back rest - takes about 3 minutes to get out.

With no weight in the back of the Nova it stands on tip toes.

The base weighs fuck all - i smacked my best mate round the head with it while fitting my harnesses! The rear bit looks to be alot heavier tho - never had to take it out , dont know how difficult it will be - shouldnt be any trickier than a corsa B.

removing rear seats and spare wheel..will get rid of some weight plus mean u wont ever have anyone sitting in the back...so of course its going to go faster/more responsive.

OK its simple. The bottom bit u sit on has two screws....or just clips out depending on ur model. The back rest is the main part
what u need to do is undo the seat belt bolts that hold the female clip in place. Also if the seat belts are attached to the floor base remove these bolts to.
Now pull the backrest forward to about 55 degrees, and push the backrest either left or right as it is on a spring like mechanism. It will put a white washer across and u can then pull the backrest UP AND OUT.
Its very very simple...and u should come across no problems when doing it.
