The front seats weigh 33kg each iirc, then the seat belt mechaism must b a good 5g each TOTAL 75kg'ish
Bucket seats, 7kg each, side mounts 1kg each, subframes 4kg each? TOTAL 30KG'ish
Your saving around 35kg fitting bucket seats alone!
IIRC mine weighed in at 923KG, with standard front seats and half a tank of fuel...
You can get them to 900kg easily, when the bucket seats are fitted I would be surprised if I was just under 900kg?
Mine totally gutted inside...
all tar removed
all unnecessary wiring removed (2 carrier bags...
The systems are not designed to sit with in the bumper, you would have to bend the pipe work and re-jig the mounts (IIRC the rear boxes are quite large and cannot go up much further)
They are ok systems...
I've seen a few on 172 and always think they look "too big" for the car?!
I am selling a Magnex exhaust system if that's any help? ;)
I know this feeling all too well :( I've got a new job "in the city"...
Commuting a 38 mile round trip daily, sat in traffic around 1hr.... hot, uncomfortable, noisy, and all round rough stopping and starting every meter :( :( :(
and the f**king work car park has a 50" speed bump*...

I'll have a look tomorrow, but your right about the PAS set-up I can remember the bolt holes on the block hold the lower "half moon" shaped cup mount.
Hi guys!!!
Completely forgot about this thread... went on holiday, started a new job and various other things. Just not had time to even think about this LOL!
I need to get in touch with the guy who may be able to produce these for me, from then on a price can be worked out for the total...
