Hey mate, do you happen to have a master list of all the weight reduction you have done to get your car down to 1180 or so?
Before I started my mods the car weighed an exact 1330kg with all fluids. After mods it weighed in with a full tank of fuel at 1260kg, thats with the lighter engine, no 4ws, no sunroof, no PS, no A/C, lightweight battery etc. How on earth have you managed to save another 80kg!?!?!? I still have full interior, no carbon bits, spare wheel, tools etc.

Re: STK 5th Gen prelude's Profile (mini clean for japshow)
she was 1163kg with a full tank, and with me she was 1236kg
I've lost: A\C, both air bags, sound proofing, with the h22a7 i've lost stuff off the engine. i've lost the heat shield around the exhaust. Back seats, all the original seat belts stuff. near wiper. intake resonator. No spare wheel.
The rest i've lost weight by replacing them with lighter parts: carbon Bonnet, wheels, nuts, ARB's, coilovers, manifold.
TBH i've added alot of weight... Heavyish exhaust, heavier seats (Evo 5's), the k-brace, all the exterior parts of the car, catch tanks, custom stuff. under brace etc
Think thats everything
hope that helps 
Edit i still got P.S and a standard weight battery But my car never had a Sunroof or 4ws anyway!
