Aye, looking forward to it's first proper test at TVL.

Forgot to mention it was down to 828kg when we weighed it after Knockhill although the new tyres have upped that a bit now, they're heavy buggers at 9.3 kilos each

According to Parkers a 1.6 Sport is 1029kg which equates to a 200kg saving

The book figures vary massively across the range though. I'm not sure what model your's is but for a boggo LS 1.2 16v the book figure's only 867 which is actually lighter than my SXi was after stripping it out

Club is 946, breeze is 867

As a rough guide, my SXi got weighed at 880kg from a book figure of 911kg and that was pretty much just the back seats and plastics removed, still had the spare wheel, soundproofing etc. but it lost me 30kg

I reckon you're easily under 900 now, 30 for back seats and plastics, you're buckets are welded in iirc, my Cobra subframes I had in the SXi were 10 kg each so that's your's down to 896, sunroof 882, soundproofing? if so that's another 10-15ish

RSR's are a fappng good tyre you know dude! we took a friends 172 track car the ring on a set to try out and was more than impressed! be good to hear feedback on these others though man, car looks really well!!
