I like how the cargo net is still there. Gotta have room to store things. Just curious but is this a daily driver...might be a dumb question.

i drove a gutted 2001 celica with a roll cage. Its SUPER NOISEY it will get OLD quick! if its your daily driver.

after about over 1yr of hearing every lil rock on the road i had to put it all back to stock (interior).

A 2,000 pound Yaris will never get old. A literal ton of fun!

I actually really dig the car without the sound-deadening interior. Everything from the engine and exhaust notes to the road surface changes is info I'm interested in... though for someone else the same things could drive them INSANE, ha, ha, ha. One man's trash.....

Oh, and props for going for it T-Sport!

Got the seats from rallylights.com, do you mean seat brackets? they are DIY with the OEM sliders total cost for the brackets is $35.

what were the steps of your DIY installation of the bucket seats? where'd you get the racing steering wheel and more importantly the hub?

ahh cool..yah i had an exhaust and intake...its FUN dont get me wrong.

specially once you get the cage the car will stiffen up...and you will really start to enjoy that gutted RACE look...that will complete the package.

Wow, I did this to an old Austin 1100 decades ago. I weighed each part that I took out, and eventually lightened it by almost 25%. It is amazing what a performance boost that can be!

Out came the seats, the insulation, the rear seats, the inner frames, doorlocks and window winders on the rear doors and trunk (held the doors closed with screws, cut out the inner frames with an air chisel, just went nuts on it. It proved to be a very reliable and quick auto, a great commuter. Biggest surprise to surrounding traffic was attacking 8% grades, accelerating on the way up.

Extra noise? As long as the exhaust system is in good shape, noise isn't an issue...
