dont know really?

wieght loss is not really my strong point, i mean, my weight loss consists of x2 bucket seats, no rear seats, and carbon fibre panels in the rear. ive not looked into panels etc.

i know that nova seats weight around 4 stone for a pair of front ones! and bout 2.5 for the erars, but sparco's weight about 1.5stone per pair!?

other than that? im at a blank mate

lol, yeah, know what you mean. Mate of mine did it to his R5 turbo racer and it was floppy as fook. Was ok with 4 bonnet pins in though when it was on.

Probly not a good idea though :lol:
