Hi guys, just wondered if anyone has a rough idea of the weight reduction from removing sound deadening, rear seats (and belts), spare wheel/jack.
Not sure if I will leave carpets in.
140 kg?

How much do the rear seats weigh?
When I cleared out all the crap in the boot (including a heavy tool set) it did feel noticeably lighter on its feet, so if I get on track at some point this year I'll definitely been taking extraneous things out!
