I have the OMP ones. They sit pretty low but they are wonky if you don't take the bump stops out from the chassis before putting them in. Couple of washers and they can easily be levelled.

Standard seats weigh about 24kg, my leather seats weigh 8kg ;) Besides I'm not saying I want to or will be doing all which is mentioned in this thread. Just purely interested to actually find out the factual difference in weight between the two models.

SOD that lol. I like leather!

Oh ok fair enough hehe Good point. I didn't put wheels on the list. Cup Turinis have got to be a fair bit lighter than the 182 wheels haven't they!? 1. Lack of ABS, save 15kg? 2. Difference exhaust style/shape, save 10kg? 3. Different windows, save 3kg? 4. Xenons and pipes, save 5kg...

Might be about right though, 182 wheels are heavy and you've gone to smaller light weight wheels. Could even be more than 10kg saved there.

Almost 70kg then working to Chips ratio

Cheapest way to more power iirc? And more agility / better handling. Lighter the better I say.

Oh yeah of course air con!! How did I forget that.. Also with the windows, does the difference actually make anything noticeable in weight you reckon? 1. Lack of ABS, save 15kg? 2. Difference exhaust style/shape, save 10kg? 3. Different windows, save 3kg? 4. Xenons and pipes, save 5kg? 5...

Yeah my car is pretty stripped. Have OZ F1s too. Just purely thinking on a 182 vs 172 cup weight basis.

That'sa very very extensive list. Did you make it? Struggling to convert some of the words though makes quite a hard read.

Did you weigh your after market exhaust by any chance?

There must be more than the 4 points stated in my OP which differentiate the weight between the two surely!? 1. Lack of ABS, save 15kg? 2. Difference exhaust style/shape, save 10kg? 3. Different windows, save 3kg? 4. Xenons and pipes, save 5kg? 5....

Off topic but what does the job of the fuel rail guard when an RS2 or ITBs are fitted then?

​I was really surprised at the weight of the 182 exhaust too!!

But how much extra does the double exhaust weigh? And if talking stripped Clios, neither would have the wheel in anyway. The 182 just has the heavier exhaust. I'm just trying to confirm the actual differences between the two and work out what that might relate to in actual weight. I know...

Always think about this, and always wonder the actual difference in weight between the two starting platforms. So does anyone actually have facts? Not just claimed weights. What does the 172 Cup not have that the 182 does? How much weight does that equate to? What does a 182 FF have that...

Certainly shifts! ​You had it weighed?

Good lap video. Car looks very capable! You flew past that over Clio. Standard engine?

That's bang out of order ;)

What the F LOL

Wow that looks amazing.

I have. But on my PC at home. I can give you estimates now, and confirm them once I check my notes if you want. The whole air con removal saved me 12kg from memory. So I'd guess the pump was 3-4kg. Windows I don't know. Front seats were about 22Kg each. Rear seats are split into a few...

Keep it then ;)

I didn't notice any noise change whatsoever when I put a panel filter in. But there are a lot of people who claim the KTR Induction Kit does give small gains. I've got one myself now and I love it. The noise alone is awesome. Bit pricey though but what the hell.

Thanks and s**t! Did it fill the catch tank. Estimated repair bill if this wasn't your car?

Surely you'll need to get that properly mapped now!!

For the non educated what does that mean lol? :o

What caused the car to s**t oil so badly?

I've not seen a LY done before. Go for it, will look good and different!

Cool, is that literally it? So for someone who wants to remove cruise anyway it doesn't matter etc..
