Steath weight reduction

Lol at the 'stripped' car with a spare in the back!

Do it properly, ie fully, or don't bother.

M3?

They're my spare track wheels.. I don't run a spare.

​If that's ok with you?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Ah ok.
Based on most of the muppets on this forum when it comes to weight saving I just naturally assumed

Two seats and two thirds of the dash, that's all that's left.

Cut all the side impact bars out of your doors and then just bean it through every crossroad without looking.

This threads amazing. Judging by the amount of sarcasm within this alone, i can see im going to fit in well
Do we know all in how much removing all except the seats/ dash and center console saves, its total combined weight, surely someones weighed it all, if not i may be doing exactly this.

I and no doubt others have weighed various bits, so if you search the forums there'll be some figures thrown up.

Think the sound deadening tar crap weighed about 14kg, and that was just what's on the floor. There's still the panels on roof and in the scuttle panel.

I've had my loom modified too, and had about 8kg stripped out, which includes the wires, connectors, and bits like the climate control panel, the clock unit.

Various brackets to remove all over the interior (but you may keep those if you're keeping seats.
