Valver/Willy - Have u removed your spare

[_Tom]

Ive heard of people doing this but is it actually worth taking it off and having a Spray foam puncture thingy in the boot? I know the spare i have is a beast a ways a ton!

Whos done it and is it worth it?

i did it, and the tyre weld stuff is good for a puncture, as long as its not a blow out. but i drove on a massive trip to newquey last weekend so had the spare in!

worth it if ur ripping the rest of the interior out as well. iv got the spare secured here instead of under the car!

I run without spare wheel, weighs quite a lot. More than anything else that can be easily removed ie Rear seats etc. Remove spare and interior trim and you will notice a difference. I have tyre weld in g/box.

I havent had a spare for a couple of years now. I phone the AA instead, but want to get some tyre weld (just incase).

Yeah bloody brilliant fun mate. 12 hours worth of driving over 2 days! Was a quality weekend, about 30 cars in total!

I weighed my spare (&cage) at 18kg when I took mine off.......

 

[Adams_16v]

yeah about right, my wheel was 15kg, not weighed the cage though!

to save some weight on the car remove the bonnett and fit an aluminium one. when i removed it to do some work on the williams it almost tore my arms off when i removed the last bolt and fell right on my foot. must be well over 30 kg.
