I'm new to this forum so hopefully im posting this in the right place. I'm looking to shed a few pounds in my 3sgte swapped 94 Celica st and I'm kinda wondering where to start. I don't want to completely gut the interior since this is gonna be a summer daily.

I figure since the back seats are practically useless in these, taking them out would probably cut down on weight drastically (anyone know how much they weigh?). I've got a leaking gas tank too so ill probably switch to a fuel cell to cut down on weight as well. I may chuck the spare tire too but this is a daily so I'm kinda iffy on that. Anyone have some more suggestions? Thanks!

I took mine out once when I was in that age of, well that age where you do stupid things, and between the rear seat and belts it couldn't have been more than 20 pounds with most of that being in the seat belts and hardware. Not really worth it unless you're removing everything else as well, so it all accumulates into something actually meaningful. What happens is you get more noise so you think you're going faster than what you were, kinda the deal with most air intakes and exhausts. If the car is already to the point of miserable then might as well keep going if that's where you're wanting to go with it. Also if you remove the rear seat then you have a giant section of bare(painted) metal between the floor carpet and cargo carpet, though if you're removing all that then I guess it doesn't matter.
