kubus1 Posted April 6, 2004 Author Share Posted April 6, 2004 If I take the rear seats will the car not be too light at the back and thereofre I ll have a bigger traction problem?? Cuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 don't think those seats will affect much at all .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Laing Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 you won't see much difference with just back seats and spare wheel out IMO, the car weighs so much you'd only notice a difference if you totally stripped it, and then it would look horrible, i like my Supra being comfy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
