Lol, yeah,
Car1(mine): 821kg (saving 140kgs ish)
Car2(alexb): 884kg (saving 80kgs ish)
Car3(Sams xsi): 812kg (saving 50kgs ish)
I'm really happy with that tbh considering my cage has added at least 20kg's so in theory I've saved over 160kgs!
I thought sams would be slightly less tbh, and alex's is a decent saving considering its not had that much lightening done so far...
