Junk all the electrics, fit lexan windows
 thought the stuff i was on about would be more than 30kg tbh wasnt expecting wonders but alot more than 30kg. I might just do what i can and what i dont need then get it on weight bridge and then it can stay like that untill cage goes in

see..... you've got it wrong already 
Your going on about 'look's . You cant be serious
My skyline is empty - i only think i've saved about 60kg
AC is coming out now, and the 4wheel steering will be next
aiming for 1300kg and 550+ bhp
started around 1450 i think
