10kg for rear bench then get rid of the spare wheel and cage which is roughly another 15

not that much tbh. if your going to strip for weight saving, you need to go alot more in depth(sound deadening, roof linning etc)

theres bugger to the roof lining isnt there?

sound deadening is where its at, completely get rid of the rear panels and seats and spare etc and theres no reason it will 20-25kg lighter

okay cheers, well im really thinking on doing it..... the GF dont like the idea as it will look 'pikeyish' haha....

[chrisvtr1989]

roll cage!!!! and if she still moans, lighten the car more by getting rid of passenger seat!

[jay-cook]

haha stripping is free so think i will do that first then the roll cage....

pikey ish?:wacko:

lol at removing the passenger seat!

youll love the difference in performance from stripping, there was an old saying that removing 10kg is like adding 1% more power

remove 25kg = 2.5% power

not much but every little helps :P
