Weight reduction....

Post by Therealjj91 » Wed Nov 13, 2013 3:12 pm

I just stripped out the spare wheel and the boot carpet/ply thing and the ply underneath the bonnet as it was tatty as hell anyways. Then I took out the front car mats and just out of interest stuck them on the bathroom scales and the 2 mats weighed just over half a stone on there own :o

Yup if you want to sacrifice comfort for performance stripping bits out of the car is the way to go 8-)

Deffo dont take it too far. Driving my 4th gen is exhilarating for sure but it is so uncomfortable. Jumping in to my 5th gen is luxury in comparison.

Make sure you on for a jobby before track days, there's a few grams to be saved there.
