I'm gonna take out the rear seats...
And I need an assembly diagram or some sort of instructional to do it. I've not noticed any bolts for the back seats..., but I'm sure they're hidden away somewhere.
Gonna take em out to reduce weight (duhr) and get better mileage for an upcoming track day!

really easy. the back cushion pulls up, it takes some effort. but if you pull it up it will come out. the bottom seat is held in with 2 10mm bolts. after the bolts are removed, it pulls straight up.
i think both rear seats are 25-30lbs total. make sure to remove the car jack too.

um - no .
the bottom cusion pulls up . Two lugs either side at the front - be sure to reach under so you don't rip the fabic as you pull up .
With the bottom removed you expose two bolts holding the back cusion . Remove these then lift the back up to clear the lugs at the top and then pull forward .

What are they held in by? The bottom cushion I mean. Bolts I can easily understand. If I remove the bottom cushion, can I put it back in when I need it?
What jack?
What jack?

the back seat bottom is held in by little clip connectors. seriously, just take your hand, hold the front of the seat bottom, and yank straight up, hard. then wiggle the seat bottom out and you'll see how it goes. It's very simple.
The car jack. In your trunk.. At the furthest spot back in your trunk is a plastic piece, that, if you pull up on it, it has your jack inside and most likely your wheel lock key if you have that. take that out of there too to save a couple pounds.

yeah, I have to agree that the back seats(at least the bottoms, I've never taken out the seatbacks) are pretty much pointless to take out. If you're that competitive in racing, you'd have taken out much more than the seat backs by now anyway...

They are not heavy at all...removing them for weight savings is rediculous. If thats the case, remove all valve stem caps as well.
Dont forget the antenna, it could really drag you down....lol.
