Weight loss is always good , but try to keep in mind center of gravity . Also by removing the the back seat your car is now more flexible and top heavy . I'm not complaining but just pointing out some safety concerns .
If ya want more weight saving ideas try these . 1. Switch to Braille battery - 20 lbs 2. Remove windshield fluid reservoir -10 lbs 3. Buy wheels that weight less than 11 lbs -15-20 lbs 4. Fill gas tank to halfway mark ( about 5.5 gallons ) -50 lbs 5. Remove front seat -40 lbs ( actually I think it weighs more ) 6. Remove passenger side airbags - 10-20 lbs Another downside to weight removal is that the Yaris has such a large cross section that wind or passing vehicles will greatly affect directional stability .
