Was thinking about putting £200 to one side towards changing to REVO but Im interested in seeing how much difference the weight loss makes after SUPER light NQS BBK setup, l/w battery & air con pump removed. . . :)

Baby wont remember his 1st christmas so perhaps I should just get REVO then :ban: :whistle:

I already have the S3 / alloy hubs and think I have alloy lower arms but not the TT ones.
Only thing really left will be the carbon bonnet:funk:

One little black ratchet strap and some sticky velcro for the bottom will be more than adequate. Where the standard battery is held down by a 13mm bolt and clamp i might fasten somthing to that so the strap can pass through there.

Ratchet strap will hold this down easily imo.

At the moment its held with some velcro and some elastic straps which arnt ideal as they move but the wires that connect to the battery hold it firm anyway.

Like hitting the nitrous button :p

This plus all the seat out apart from the drivers obviously then i think the weight loss will come together nicely.
