A strip down for the whole interior would be awesome! I'm looking to sound deadening the FRS but a guide to stripping the interior would be key...

Plus any other interior mods would be a lot easier to tackle.

I can't find a diy on front seat removal/bucket seat install. I recall a DIY post for the front driver seat but not the passenger (though I can't even find that anymore).
I'm trying to get my seat belt light/chime & airbag light off. The front seat was an easy swap but the passenger has the weight sensor to bypass...
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks,

The compressor will run because the "windshield vent setting" is really your front defroster. The compressor runs because its removing humidity from the cabin so the windows don't fog up..

Remove the fender liner, the front bumper, then just undo the bolts holding the fender on. There's 2 bolts under the door jam that are annoying, but other than that once you have the fender wheel well liner and front bumper off, there's just some 10mm bolts keeping you from victory.

2 bolts on the underside of the fender at the jack point.
2 bolts in the door jam, need to have the door open half way or so and squeeze you way to the bolt heads.
The bolts in the engine bay, easiest to get to.
A couple by the headlight.
You have to pop some plastic trim pieces off around the windshield to unveil a bolt and clip under the plastic.
From what I remember that about it..
