Gotta cut to the chase in this racket. 💪🏻😤👍🏻 Thanks for watching!

+Baileythegamer No problem! Just test it out ahead of time to make sure it's right for you, obviously. I already knew I would fit because I've done it before. Thanks for watching!

You can stay in most Walmart parking lots for free BTW and also there is a web site free camping dot net for more spots to park.

Cat lover it dangerous to sleep in cars though

@@matowixunplugged7927 It's not if you do it properly

Thanks! I appreciate it! ✌🏻

+Autumn Mansfield Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

Thanks! ✌🏻

Oh, do you have any tips for blocking the windows for privacy? I’m a woman, don’t want any risk of someone looking in on me. Looking for a cheap alternative to this, would love to hear your thoughts!

Never thought about it, honestly.

@@HiroshimaSpirit Ooft if you could, I’d be so grateful! So many places to explore on a budget haha

+Matt P Thanks! Yeah, this mod is also great for extra cargo room.

I just converted mine to a two seater cargo hauler. Plenty of room for boxes.

Thanks! ✌🏻

+TBRacing21 Thanks, man! Definitely! You've gotta try to go next year for sure. Nothing beats the night shift at Daytona.

Thanks! ✌🏻Have a nice trip!

Glad to help! Thanks for watching!

And a face for radio.

+CredoVG No problem! Thanks for watching!

+Cloverof4 Thanks, dude! I appreciate it. ✌🏻

+Matias Aravena Glad to hear!

+navajas rs Exactly! Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy the channel!

+Samuel Rathke That too! Thanks for watching!

¡Gracias por ver! ¡Feliz de ayudar!

+Cool Játék Thanks! ✌🏻

Race car mode is a happy biproduct! lol Glad to be of service! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

Indeed! Thanks for watching! ✌🏻

A resistor, probably. Without the seat it’s going to show an airbag light,

did you end up doing it?

+elektronstorm I'm glad you enjoyed it! No, I don't plan on adding any soundproofing to my car. I don't care about outside noises from the exhaust or the road, I never use the radio, and almost always drive with my windows down. Soundproofing would do nothing but add unnecessary extra weight to the car.

Thank you for reply. In city driving you are right but on long distance driving, road noise is too much. By the way, sprinkle water from passenger side hits the right wiper, when wiper is in idle position. Do you experince the same problem?

+elektronstorm I don't have that problem. Sounds to me like you either have a clogged sprayer or need to adjust the wiper arm so that it's not in the way of the sprayer.

And a face for radio!

+Autumn Mansfield I never said it was, but those are good points. 👍🏻

DaedalusZero My brain is the one that makes no longer used screws optional. I am sure there are other noobs out there like me.

+Autumn Mansfield No worries! After many years of modifying cars, I've learned to never discard anything. You might need it some day. The easiest way to not lose bolts is the thread 'em back in! Haha

I’ve never used one, personally, so I have no opinion. That’s a personal preference thing anyway. If you want remote keyless start, go for it! Just make sure that if your car is manual that you don’t leave it in gear when you use the remote start. 😬 Thanks for watching!

thanks bro

Can’t confirm that you can do the same in a 3, but yes!

+St acy The package shelf that hangs from the hatch?

I’m not sure, sorry.

@@HiroshimaSpirit No problem. Figured out that you can once I took the whole thing out. Lol. Really dig your videos. They've inspired me to start doing my own mods after just running my previously owned 2011 one stock for the last 5ish years!

yikes! cant loosen bolts! lefty lucy, correct??

@@Bananala8047 Did you have to take the whole thing out first and then put the small seat back in? Or could you just take out the "60" bit on its own? Going to try this conversion soon!

@@sarah_blazer hmm, it'd probably be best to take the whole thing out so you have more room to disconnect the "40" part from the "60". I think I had to anyway because for more stability to the smaller seat, I needed to remove the middle connector from the "60" part and also needed the bolts from that too. When you take it out, you'll be able to see what I'm talking about!

The car is the same regardless of which seats are installed, so it should bolt right in.

@@HiroshimaSpirit Thanks! I just saw there was a bolt and a hook at the split section, and thought that maybe my car wouldn't have that. I guess for Mazda would be cheaper to make the same structure, and just vary the seats depending on the model version.

I couldn’t tell you. It’s just a plain piece of styrofoam. Sorry!

I only have experience with my own car, and I discovered this trick kind of by accident. The only way to know for sure is to try it yourself.

Probably. Not sure which side tho...

It’s a single unit. They can’t be separated without permanently deleting one.

Blocking the windows is completely up to you and allowing you to use a parking space is up to the establishment. Every situation will be different.

It doesn’t lay flat. It pivots above whatever is left once it’s removed, which is actually flat, hence the removal.

@@HiroshimaSpirit Thank you I appreciate it. Great video also.

+Anjoe Pantoja 15x7 +30

I left the car off and cracked the windows.

I used to have a P5 myself. Can’t confirm if this will work similarly, but if it does, I’m happy to have provided inspiration!

@@HiroshimaSpirit I tried it and its in reverse. The bottom of the seats come out and the backs of the seats fold flat-ish. I will have to build a small platform for it to be level.

@@bloodgirl4 I have a 2003 Protege 5 and am trying to rig my car up for camping purposes. Is it better to take the bottom of the seats out do you think? Or just leave as is with the backs flatish overtop of them? Would be nice to have more headroom, but am not too 'build' worthy nor do I have a good place to put the seat bottoms! Would love to see what you came up with if you can post a little picture here!

@@tamarap387 I would recommend doing it the same way its done in this video. When you leave the seat backs in there will be a gap of 3 or 4 inches and its a hard ridge. Very hard to cover and make level with soft materials like foam. My friend and I ended up making a wood platform that is about 60 inches long and 30in wide. (I'm 5'1) and it sits up about 6 inches in the cargo area so it can be level all the way through, and it two side pieces it sits on has cut outs for the ridge of the back seats. I do believe that if you take out the backs and leave the bottoms it will be more even and easier to level out with foam ( I uses dog beds from Ross w/ mattress toppers from Walmart)

@@bloodgirl4 Love it! Thank you so much. Will try it with backs out. Hoping it is a similar set up as the Mazda 2 in the video! Funny, I had also thought of dog beds for cushioning! I'm 5'0"....haha!

I’m not sure what you mean by universal tools. I used whatever I said in the video.

@@HiroshimaSpirit They don't work. I was told that Japanese cars use a different size. I bought what you said and they just go around but they don't hold on to the bolts. Can't move the bolts nor could a friend of mine. Just wondering. I bought 14mm in both tools you said to use just asking. Thank you for getting back to me.

Look into fender rolling.

@@HiroshimaSpirit well the fender is not the issue, I email a video of the part causing the issue... here is the video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h75lqK2ftKvHXWw.html

+tylorrichter With or without a roll bar? lol 😂

It does. I don’t use them.

Longer tools or a jack handle on the end of your ratchet will provide the leverage you need.

The fuel tank is under the rear seat, so the fuel pump and/or sender, probably.

If you’re in the driver seat with the keys anywhere on your person, yes. Lying in the back doesn’t constitute being “in control” of the vehicle. That’s good to know, however.

HiroshimaSpirit Different from state to state. Where I am, if you have the keys in the vehicle with you it's a DUI. You can get a DUI getting something out of your trunk here. It's stupid, but the rule is there to stop people from just throwing their keys in the back seat if they see the cops.

That’s ridiculous. lol

In VA, you have to be “operating,” which means keys in ignition (so don’t turn heat or air on). Also, in order to make you take a beathalyzer it has to be on a “public highway.” Which is vague and could be a parking lot if open to the public, marked lanes and street signs. Best just leave keys out of ignition and pockets.

Mazda3 is a different car. More room to engineer seats that fold flat, probably.

The passenger seat will not recline enough to lay flat. All the way down it creates a step up even from the rear seat bottom. If you scoot it forward all the way and fold the back as forward as it can go, you’ll add at least another foot of space, but then the challenge is making a “floor” that’s level with everything else.

The floor isn’t flat underneath the front seats, but it’s certainly something someone could try on a solo trip. The way I showed still allows the ability to have at least a front seat passenger instead of none.

Oof, good luck! 🫡

That’s up to one’s imagination.
