I drove my SC before with just a driver seat. Are you looking to strip yours down or something?

I know of some people who did. You can a lot of weight. The stock seats alone weigh about 75 each

+1

Get something else to gut and race But it's not my car so do what you please. Typically a Lexus is to cruise and be comfortable in. There are cheaper alternatives such as a 240SX

Sad to say but the interior of many SC's out there are trashed so it probably looks better gutted and more cost effective as well.

+1 i thought about doing it but it just wont be a lexus without the luxury of it. I drove the car without the interior once just to see what its like and i wouldnt do it again. it gets really noisy

Its really noisy and make any type of weather condition worse If its hot outside its super hot in the car if its cold its super cold. Plus honestly whats the point? if you want to lighten the car might as well go all out but if its not a track car then its just retarted
