    I've removed all interior trim and sound deadening etc, I've cut out all the unused brackets (eg seat mountings), I've drilled holes where possible (more to come ), It has a fibreglass bonnet, the windows are polycarbonate and the mechanisms for the front windows have been removed, the doors have been cut out, the bulkhead has been removed, the heater and dashboard are gone, the wiring loom has been cut-down and excess wires removed, the bumper re-inforcements are no more (just plastic bumper shells left),I have lightweight seats, I have only one mirror, the door handles are lightened, I removed the metal carpet support from the top of the exhaust tunnel and the servo and transfer bar have been removed in favour of a corsa bias pedal box.

    Contrary to all that it has a full cage, bigger brakes, bigger heavier wheels, HH strengthening kit and seam welding, bigger/heavier wheels.

    This winter I will hopefully fit lighter wheels (-10kgs), lighter brakes (-5kgs), lighten the shell and tailgate (-10kgs), fit a lighter battery (-5kgs) :D

    1. question tho... does al the holes youve drilled in the shell make it loose strength? and make it abit flimsy?

    Oli's Lieing.... With Driver it was well over a Ton

    Can I have a guess??? I reckon without driver.... Ermmmm

    660kg's? :D

    As far as im aware he's only drilled big holes in the chassis in the rear at the moment, which has an Integral welded in cage, so its actually stronger now than when it was new.
