This is kind of Stage 1 of the weight saving, if I think I can live with it I'll go for the plastic windows, strip the doors and take out the Kenwood etc, their's probably another 40-50kgs that could come out but I dont want it to be un-driveable on the public roads, its got to get me to (and from) The Ring :happy2:
Also I had to compromise a bit, the seats could have been a lot lighter but I needed them to tilt and slide, and the roll cage isn't light.
Not sure what it was before, but the DSG is always going to be quite heavy, still 251hp/ton is a good start :happy2:

What seats are they Neil?? :smiley:
Janner_Sy:
probably similar if not more. afaik they are near identical stages of tune so power would be similar dependant on the dyno figures used to qupte the bhp/ton
however jonnys didnt have the roll cage
