No Rear Seats Defectable?

[Thomasino]

Well I finally got sick of taking people in my car who don't care about it. I thought saying 'Sorry I got no rear seats' would be an easier option then trying to decline them due to not much leg room.

So I took them out. 2 clips and 4 bolts.

My question is, is this defectable for whatever reason? If I get pulled over and they see I have no rear seats or parcel shelf (in my 180SX) will they defect me for it? I can just as easily put them back in (less then 5 mins) but just wondering.

Thanks for any help!

PS: To make it less obvious I was planning on laying some carpet down so you can't see all the metal.

might need to register it as a two seater if ist going to be perminant...

but i know a mate of mine did this in his camira back in the day for the exact same reason.. he got around like that for about 18 months.

could always tell the cops u took em out to steam clean em or to vac underneath em if you do get grief about it

If you're gonna cover it, you should be fine.

I believe as long as you take out the rear seat belts also it will be ok,of course do the ring around to regency see what they say,until then just use the old "just cleaning seats etc",as far as registering it as two seater,if its a two door it cant go down any lower,but dont quote me on it.if possible though it will be a regency job.

to make it legal, remove rear seats, remove seat belts, weld up all the bolt holes for the seatbelts, register as a two seater, have it inspected. done.

Too bad I'm only 17

So I have to remove the seat belts also? Hrm ok thanks guys.

Just say I do get defected for it, would I have to go to regency or my local cop shop? It literally takes <5 minutes to do the whole job, its so simple so would they just let me off at the cop shop?

I'm thinking regency, just cos of the seatbelts..... but I'm hardly an authority on the matter...

call regency n ask, better than any of the 1/2 assed answers I (or anyone else on here) can give

just dont take anyone in your car, you shouldnt be making excuses for people just because they want a free ride. keep the seats in and if they ask for a ride just tell them to catch a cab and you aint no taxi driver, thats it.

It is regency, either getting defected for it or doing it the proper way. If you want to re-register the car as a 2 seater (by taking out the rear seats) you have to take the car through regency rather than going through your local dmv (or what ever you wish to call it). The best time to do it would be when you need to clear a defect and kill two birds with one stone.

i think the easiest fix is the word "no"
