stripping out a saxo what could i loose?

[Rob_McLav]

if i was to strip my saxo what sort of weight loss could i expect? ie 20 kg ect. was thinking whole rear seats/carpet. just keep door cards (or get carbon fiber ones) and dash. not got fogs. might loose rear wiper too. is it possible to get these cars under 800k?

i don't think any have made sun 800, lowest i can recall is a 830, but carbon fiber bonnets, boots, bike mirrors why leave door cards in, most interior trim can be lost, who needs a passanger seat?

I've done Rear seats, carpet and sound deadening, airbag gear, standard steering wheel, rear wiper, interior panels and head lining. I'm keeping the rear wiper as its useful but I might start with the hole saw in areas if I see the need

Sub 900kg is easy.
Sub 800kg is hard but possible.

[Saxovch22]

Spare wheel, jack and carrier
Rear seats
Doorcards
Any interior trim
Carpet
All the sound deadening
Roof lining
Replace the sunroof with a carbon sheet

Also remember most aftermarket parts tend to weigh less than standard bits ie exhausts seats etc

If you wanted close to 800kg you would be looking at carbon bonnet and boot possibly roof skin, fibreglass doors and polycarbs.

ok thanks guys. it will be my daily so would keep door cards untill i get carbon ones. been looking at carbon bonnets but would spray it body work colour

i want a cage as well :/ guess ill just have to stick to sub 900kg.

and your doing this to a 1.1 saxo or a c1... high five

[Saxovch22]

Is it a 1.1 you have ?
Don't they weigh like 850kg standard

[moxy89]

more to the point, why put a carbon bonnet and a cage in a 1.1 just lol...

Aftermarket brake calipers are often bigger and lighter :A:

Lighter wheels is also a very good shout..

Unsprung weight reduction is worht its weight in gold over sprung weight.
