Good work!
I just got a set of these wheels for my Inferno shod with Toyo 888s for trackdays. Have already upgraded the seats to Recaros, so some weight saved there, and stripped everything you have done (interior only gets whipped out for trackdays). Still got that massive weight attached to the engine mount and the engine hoist to remove in the next few weeks. I weighed my Recaro passenger seat at 15kg, standard 182 seat is around 25kg i think. So that's 20kg there.
Great minds and all that...

Might have to put it back in thoughgetting moaned at and worried mouses might us my back seats as a new house.
How much higher was the rear of the car after stripping out? Did it look silly? Also did the bonnet insulation (it's there for sound i assume) weigh much?
Cheers!

Great jobs on the weight saving guys!
Might do a bit of weight saving myself, that's the only way I'm going to see a tiny increase in performance.
Spare wheel, parcel shelf, boot carpet and general junk. That's all I can think of that can be removed, anything else I'm missing that can be easily put back without too much hassle? I imagine the back seats would be a mega pain, especially for someone as inexperienced as me.

Got denied permission by the missus.
Still took what I listed out though, noticed a TINY improvement in acceleration and handling, although that may have just been psychological.

'53 172 Cup
Should have bought a 172 Cup instead as that's already way lighter than the 182... surely!?! 168bhp p/t standard if I recall...
