mine was a 1.28v with nothing what so ever, and that weight is without cutting anything off the car

no, i meant the engine
the 1.6 block weighs about 1kg less than the 1.4 one with pistons in both etc
mine had no c/l, no door looms, no nothing, and its soon gonna be like jrs but with a bit of grinder action
i wanna be the lightest

mine is noisey, made a big difference in the way the car handles and stops, a small difference in acceleration.
we timed teddys gsi after stripping with a perfomance meter and it was setting a noticable difference from standard. forget what it did tho

ive just stripped the rear seats out of mine, ya can hear loads from the back.
i also hear stange vibrations, knockings and noises from the rear.
gona ditch the rear seatbelts shortly and maybe just tidy it up with a nice bit of carpet.
