Broster where did you get your alloy battery tray from as I was possibly looking at getting some alloy engine bits in a few months when I get some money but cant find any for my car.
Tried Forge Motorsport's website but they don't do Peugeot bits plus as it's a diesel I might struggle

not pickin makin valid point, im not calling u a fool mark i mean ppl in general
fed up with ppl claiming this and that with silly things like a filter gains this much/or losing spare wheel ACTUALLY MAKE THAT MUCH difference to performance, its all bollox
noticable gain in power from corsa in weight saving would mean carbon bonnets/wings, full stripped interior NOT REAR ONLY, light wheels thin glass, ask jr he seems to no what i mean u lot just say its picking it ent 
NO OFFENCE IS INTENDED TO NO1 JUST SIT HERE AT COMPUTER AND FIND IT HARD TO BELIEVE PPL VIEWS

reoving interior will make a difference to a car exceleration no matter how little you take out. A larger wieght means a larger inertia, a lower weight will mean the engine need less output to move the car.
admittedly taking the rear bench out or whatever will not make a great deal of difference. but i can notice the difference just driving without my spare wheel in (which i have not removed to gain anything) to driving with

yes i have for about 4 weeks why my retrim was done so no1 here can say i dont no, and my car was fully stripped bar front speaker and roof lining even carpets was out
i never said it WONT make a difference for god sake, I SAID IT WONT MAKE A NOTICABLE DIFFERENCE
when mine was stripped totally for those few weeks all i noticed was a stupid amount of noise , performance was un-changed although im not saying it was'nt, just not enough to notice

Well mine feels a LITTLE different obviously shaving off 30kg of what the car doesnt actually need WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
If its not your style then fine - but its ours and we can notice a difference!

I make sure I have a big poo every time I go for a drive.
I also empty my pockets, give myself an all-over wax (Broster does the bits I can't reach) and don't wear shoes.
This doesn't make me any faster, but means I forget my wallet, have a rash and can't press the pedals properly

You wouldn't notice it if it came up and shaved your beard.
