rear bench prob only about 20kg
Total weight removed = 55kg
Cobras = aprox 14kg x2
Total weight added = 28kg
Weigh saved = 55-28=27kg

d.brown said:what you wanna do dave is give me your front seats, rear seats & door cards
swap you for a cup interior... it's a lot lighter
d.brown said:too loud
i'm a big girl really
d.brown said:all you gotta do is put my back seat down... amazing how much louder it gets just from that
Thing is.. cup rear bench only weights about 6 grams anyway. Slightly pointless.
Loopz said:Ok, so a plain weight reduction would give you a slighlty improved performance in a straight line.
But has anybody that has put their car on a simple diet ever thought, that by shreding off weight uncontrolably, they are ruining the car's factory set weight distribution?
And by changing the weight distribution, you would also have to choose a new set of stiffer springs for the car, if you want the car to behave the same as prior to WR.
Rebecca said:wants to kick me out of the car grrrr but I told him I weigh about as much as a postage stamp. He can pay for a hair cut for me that would be a bit less weight then I can wear a less heavy outfit and he can still have two seats. :rasp:
It does begin to get a tad silly after a while, petrol saving would be a good side effect though.

Peperami said:Dave, if interested, will swap you my buckets, subframes and harnesses, for your ff interior, plus some cash your way... ?
pm me either way mate
Oh, and it makes it drive very different, the tail is very light, and acceleration in the lower gears is much quicker.
edde said:Seats are 35kg each I think. buckets weight can depent on type etc.
d.brown said:and 62kg... will gain you... 0.001 of a second 0-62?
