Someone at Mitsu was def thinking of us
P.S. just realized you were talking about the 2 piece rotos not the seats.

i am going to begin gutting my IX tomorrow and will be doing exactly what you mentioned. Has anyone considered what all the weight removal does to the balance of the car? Removing all the weight from the rear seems like it might throw the balance of the car off. Any ideas? Thanks for the pics and write up, its going to make it alot easier this weekend
Also a lot of us that remove the rear seats and such for weight, also remove weight in the front of the car - A/C, small battery, small radiator, etc.
took 3 hours COMPLETELY stripping everything out of my car last night. Will post pics later. Any value to any of the items for resale? I keep the seatbelts, seats, & speakers. Should I just toss this stuff as well? Since all the other stuff was torn off I just threw it away. This is going to be a dedicated track car so no need to worry about resale. Thanks.

sorry for the necro-bump, but this thread helped me out a lot today. 
for boomn29! Thx.
for boomn29! Thx.UPDATE!
I wanted to primarily remove the rear seat belts. Turns out they are a bit difficult to get to, but I was wanting to gut the rear of the car anyways so it wasn't a big deal for me.
I made some note to share with all. I don't feel like going into detail since it was pretty straight forward. So, take your time and use common sense for the most of it. If there's a trick, I noted it:
- Remove rear seat; 2 pull clips
- Remove reat seat backs; lower seatbelt hardware and corner bolts
- Remove speaker bolts (from trunk) (3 each side)
- Remove 3rd brake light nuts (2 total) 10mm
- Remove child safety harness bolts (3 total)
- Remove c-pillar (only need to remove one side)
- Remove speaker covers (2 total)
- Remove/dismantle 3rd brake light; twist bulb assembly 1/4 turn and remove cover
- Pull out rear deck around seat belts - be gentle; it's on clips, so take a screwdriver covered in black tape and rub behind to pop free
- Pull out rear deck rubber padding - be gentle; it will tear
- Remove seat belts (3 total)
