The seven being my only car, I wouldn't have bought it if I couldn't get it with 4 seats... couldn't stand the added hassle for whenever I need to drive someone around. If I don't want to give someone a ride then I tell them so, but nobody wants to get in the back unless absolutely necessary. I'll avoid 4 people at all costs though... the one time I tried that as a test run I could barely see because my head was scrunched against the roof

I bought my car specifically so I wouldn't have to chauffer anyone. I say yank 'em. I also got rid of my storage bins so I could install my subwoofers and keep them hidden.

I have to say that I weigh 165 lbs. If anyone gets in my car, even a 100 lb girlie, I can feel the diff. I dont like giving anyone a ride unless its a hottie that gives me head in return. These ARE sports cars. With a 1300cc engine. Think about that. Same displacement as a Goldwing. Just say NO to back seats and any passengers that dont have shaved pvssy.

Back seats

I vote for 'em.

Anyone got a grey/black back seat for a 1st gen(84 GSL_SE)? PM or email me if you do.

You speed freaks might laugh but getting a ticket and charged with endangerment of a child doesn't sound good--and could be very expensive--rather spend the money on my car.

ok I gotta post my take on the seats


I would say F**K the seats

if i do get my FC anytime soon, I wouldn't get the rear seats, or at least take out the rear seats.

you see it will be at least 2 of us with cars (outta me and my friends)

my friend with a 93 Probe GT, which has rear seats, which are big enough, and then me with the FC.

also its normally 3 of us, sometimes on rare occasions its 4, so its an easy split up...either 2 people in his car, and just me in the FC, or 2 ion his, and 2 in mine.

We also pick up allot of girls, so I could always be lie, one of you can ride with me (referring to the girls of course) and then it would be me and a girl in the car, and my friend can have3 whoever in his, so without the back seats whould be the best, and the best part is saying...this car only fits two....HAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

EDIT: Also only 2 of us (out of our whole group of friends) can drive standard (5spd) that is my friend with the Probe GT( I'm the one that taught him how to drive standard), and ME, so only either me or him would be driving my car....I've driven his probe allot neways...nice car....and cuz I've taught him...I trust him in driving my car....plus those seats look like an *** ache

I was thinking about taking out the bins and putting in the jump seats... hmm.. maybe I won't now that I've read this thread and remembered why I took the back seats OUT of my old 240SX... giving people rides SUCKS! that's the only thing I was thinking at the time..

I want seats Not for my car but for my girlfirends 7(building it for her) she has 3 neices and nephews that could fit back there so it would be a good thing to put in her car. (Not my FC tho) I like the bins actually thinking of converting one into a stealth ice chest .

Or another car.

If you sell it you'll be years in the waiting for an opportunity to replace it. If you go with a back seat you'll be years waiting to pull it back out.

No seats, no bins, if you want a ride the bus will be here shortly and it's a $1. Seriously though those seats are way too small to fit anyone (I'm 5'7" and only weigh 145 "soaking wet" and I can't fit!). I got rid of them and never had storage bins. Weighs less, car is faster and besides it's a sports car not a GT, there should'nt be a backseat anyway .

i have my amp and a custom cooling system running in one bin and my 10 disc changer in the other, the sub box inbetween the stock speaker towers and both bins have false floors in them so no one is the wiser if they do break in! works great and you can drink all night at the party, cause you never have to drive what a great car!!!
