Yes, that's right, I got bored lastnite and, in the interest in saving weight, I decided to go strip some bits and bobs from the valver.

I never realised how much excess weigth she was holding until I had to move it all into the house :oops:

So that's back seats, parcel shelf, hefty sub box, spare wheel and cage

Makes a difference, she feels sooooo much more nimble :lol: :lol: :lol: As Mr TT225 found out this morning. Popping and banging on upchange is deffinately for the winners 8)

It's a bit of a weird one.

I had to jack the back up a touch, drop the cage, then push the back of the cage up and manipulate it out of its holding towards the drivers side. You will see what I mean when the wheel is out of it.

Yep, and leather seats with the subframes are 19kgs each. Cobra imolas are 6.5kgs each, so a hefty saving there!
