It is impossible to save weight by folding them, but you knew that right?

As to folding them to lower the centre of gravity then it must do...by about 0.000000000000001mm.

Over the years this question has been asked numerous times on car forums and always seems to divide sensible and deluded opinion.

I hear if you lower your back seats to 23 degrees , add some go faster stickers , only use £4.36 p of v power and paint the windscreen wipers purple and green , that you gain 5.33333333 bhp and knock 1.5 seconds off 0-60 .

Ooo, does that work for diesel v power too?

...rushes off to buy some green and purple paint.

I just can't get over that someone would even think that laying ur seats down would do that lol I painted my caliper a red and added a red pin stripe along my doors, I got an extra 10bhp by the way,

Your pin stripes must of been from rip speed then . I got mine from the £1 shop . Only got 6bhp more

I'm well out of touch with all this, I thought yellow and pink was auto derv only and mine's a manual you see.
