i like this stripped out stuff, but only when it looks smart, all sprayed inside(like ojc's nova), and then remove the loomthats not needed) put buckets in it as well and generally tidy finish it all off, mindu if its just for a race track then it just needs to be light?

There's still nearly a full interior in there all you removed is cards & rear seats!

jr... I kinda did lose the plot when stripping mine out its now getting excessive though... I'm re-wiring the entire wiring loom to remove all wiring for MFD, Stereo, heaters, fan blower, courtesy lights, everything which I won't need

i have got to rewire my ecu loom as well, as when own development made it, they just cut the conncetors of and left the wires in there, only need about 8 of the 40 in there

it;s when you start evaluating the weight of the 3 wires you take out and feel pround of yourself that you should worry
