    weight info for parts...?

    I'm sure You know this:-)

    oem front seat weight ? thinking if change can help here, probably not much
    rear seat removal - 17kg (already seen thread)
    supersprint back box - 15kg? just guess
    big brakes probably same weight are close
    lighter wheels probably does not exist or not much

    /I know air con can be removed and radio and speakres, but these i want to keep/

    You can save around 1.5kg per wheel by choosing a lighter style.

    Front seat replacement will save a fair amount of weight also as well as removing all the crap from the boot.

        recaro pole postion seats are pretty light
        This seat is also available in an ultra-lightweight Carbon-Kevlar CFK Composite, ideal for fitting to vehicles where shedding weight is a priority. The Carbon-Kevlar Pole Position ABE only weighs an incredible 4.5kg - perfect for the driver searching for the optimum racing performance

          be a bit careful as sat weights are always given ex cushions, mounts and sliders so make sure you add them for the comparison against CSL seats

          my recordsm estimtaed that CSL to Recaro XPG saved around 5kg and Recaro XPG to Carbon saved a further 3 kg

                        Yes per seat

                        18 inch are lighter than 19 but 18 inch Cups are 0.5kg heavier than 19 so overall saving with my G2s is around 2.2kg per corner. Roly's Rays for sale will save nearly that as well

                        On top if that

                        SS backbox 12kg
                        Battery 7kg
                        Suspension 6kg
                        Seats 20kg (taking one out)
                        Rear seat and boot trims 20kg
                        BBK 5kg
                        Pollen filter 5 kg
                        Wheels 8kg (rotational)
                        Diet 20kg
                        Fluids 20kg
                        Puncture repAir etc 5kg

                              Most of the weight reduction is from the dashboard back wards.

                              The tail is too light any way ! ! :bigcry::bigcry:
