great idea, but it looks scary with the bottom mounts sticking out.

Does Nismo sell shovels??

We might all need them soon with the amount of bs that is building up around here.

There is no write-up yet, just kill the thread until then......

Hey guys. I KNOW am waaaaaaaay behind on this. I thought about giving updates but since nobody was saying anything, I figured I'd just hold off and perhaps I could finish the write-up before anyone did. Well - looks like no such luck! - lol. Here's the deal. I was completely done with the write-up (you can even ask ejj) but then I realized that I missed one important thing in the write-up that I wanted to work out before 'going public' with it. Then I got this awful starting problem and my car has literally been in the shop for many, many months. It's been to three shops and no one can figure it out. (That's why I broke down and bought a SHO). My Max. takes foreeeeeeever to start but once it finally does, it runs great - but anyway, that's for another post. So anyway, I need my car before I finish the write-up. That's why I haven't posted back here. Please accept my appology and I promise I will have it done even if I can't promise when. Again, thanks for your patience as well as kind words.

- Josh

Now if only we could come up with a mod that will make these hydrolic posts actually last...unlike our hoods...ive had to replace mine like what...4 times! ARGHH!! i just use a golf club now...

i like it. for the a@#hole that said he doesn't like it, grow up. here's a thought. go to school, preferrably junior high or maybe high school and take a spelling class. that might help you later when you want to post something so you don't sound like a fool with no education. "critism" lol good job buddy. people like you shouldn't be on the org. granted i may not be on all the time or post a lot, but when i do i know how to give constructive "CRITISM" (LMAO) without sounding like a three year old *****.

3 years later.............

Well guys, I am happy (but ashamed) to say that (3 years later) my write-up/how-to is finally complete!! I would try to make an excuse(s) as to why it took me 3 years but anything I say will sound lame. So, let's forget about that and focus on the fact that it is finally complete!!!

Here is the new thread I started.

Here is a direct link to the write-up.

Thanks for your patience everyone and thanks for all the kind words. Sorry about the delay. Enjoy.

Total bs mod. I take out or remove my rear back seat all the time, only takes less than two minutes. The back plate is out for good and the two little bs screws are gone. What he doesn't tell you is that you have to pull the rear seat belts out of the way. Same bs.

What the h. are you talking about Rudey? Just like your car, you're a maroon. Did you even bother reading the write-up before posting something that makes no sense? This isn't a mod to simply take out your seats. And if you actually read the write-up before you posted, you would see that yes, I do mention moving the seat belts out of the way. However, with my mod, you don't always have to move them out of the way.

And I am saying it's bs. I can take out the seats easier than making them go half way up or whatever you claim in your mod.

You wouldn't know what I claim in my mod because you are speaking without reading it!

And you are wrong, how could a complete removal be easier than a partial removal of the same exact seat? :

And you are missing the point. Taking your seats out completely is fine if you so choose. But that's if you know ahead of time you will be transporting large/long items. Then you could take your seat(s) out and leave them at home. There was a time when I was out and I saw a good deal on something that came in a large, long box and I was able to buy it.

And if you actually read my write-up you would see that there is more to it then simply folding your seat up. You claim that you leave your metal plate out of your car all the time. So that means from your trunk you can see the yellow foam on the back of your seat. Cheeesey. I explain how to put back on the decorative liner so it looks stock.

If you don't like it, don't do it. I wrote the write-up for those who can benefit from it.

I could take out my seat and put it in the window or move it forward. Doesn't take a minute to remove or place back. You covered the back seat or have decorative liner...great.

Next I am sure you are going to figure how to make the rear bottom seats fold too.

I read your write up. I can't believe you can't take off the tires on that mountain bike.

Rudey, if you want to stick your seat out the window, go for it. I would never do that.

Uh, yeah, fold the rear bottom seat too. That makes sense.

You're not too bright. The bike is an example! And, you're wrong, it is time consuming and difficult to take off the rear tire.

Have a nice weekend.
