I just want to take the seats out for tomorrow and then put them back in so I don't want to start hacking off brackets or to much stuff. There are screws that hold on the bracket to the seat but I don't have anything that will let me take those screws out, thus allowing me to remove the seat back. Would anyone know how to accomplish this/be able to help me with it before we leave tomorrow? I only live like 2 minutes from Walmart if someone would know how to help me out.

2. I'm also thinking about dropping the tire pressure in my rears so that I can get better traction. I've been told to drop them to ~25 psi. My question is does someone have a pressure guage so that I can drop them to that point when we get there? And where can I get air put back in the tires after tomorrow, because I don' t want to be normally driving like that. Does someone have an air compressor or would a gas station have something I could use.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm out of class at 8:30 tomorrow so if someome wants to give me a call they can, 317-509-9331. I have to go to Tipton after class but I should be back home around noon or so if someone could help.
1. Someone will most likely bring basic tools to the track where you could pull your seats with some help. Should be pretty easy.

2. Don't lower your tire pressure below normal range unless you have drag radials or slicks. You will have no better traction, trust me. It will slow you down on the top end due to the higher drag the underinflated tire will be giving you. Just show up at the Wal-mart with your car in normal street trim, and there will be plenty of people around to help you out/give advice throughout the evening. It sounds like you are worrying a little too much about it. Just go and have a good time.

If I remember correctly the upper part is held in by Torx fasteners... the size is about a T35... maybe... I think. Taking this off is no big deal... you won't break anything and it will bolt right back in once you're done.

Sweet, looks like i'll be making it. Can only stay until 8, maybe 8:30... but that should be enough time to get plenty of passes! Depending on how the clutch does (its begining to fuck up N/A) i'm gonna try the 100 jets. No 150s until I get my Spec III in.
