Looks really clean! Tons of weight that could still be saved though
Thanks
Yea i know, its still being used by my mate on the road atm as he sold his car recently so cant remove much more for the time being.
however go for it, what else would you remove?
Love the seats... but I imagine it's difficult to steer with the wheel there
Yea the seats are lovely and quick comfortable considering what they are (not some much on a long run tho haha)
And yea its not easy haha but we get by

Waiting for suspension from gaz to turn up then put the shell back on it's wheels then weld the cage in and spray it... gotta wait for the antiroll bars too. Going 28mm rear 25mm front . Then that's the chassis set up then it's doors to lighten and build fibreglass bonnet boot and bumpers.

Fibreglass and carbon fibre every where lol.
My current car is a saxo and weight about 780kg with full fluids but no driver.

Door cards (plastic cut sheets are light and cheap) , entire sound system including headunit, speakers, amp, entire AC including ducts and pump/condenser, system, entire center console and lower dash pieces. Make 3 small switches for hazards, defrost, and blower. (Keep upper dash to tuck all wires into). Headliner, A,B,C pillars, steering column covers, windows and all electronics related to them. Since you dont have a driver airbag you can also lose the passenger one. Get a small Optima yellow top dry cell battery.Looks really clean! Tons of weight that could still be saved though
If you want to get really carried away - custom wiring loom you would be shocked as to how heavy it weighs
That's 100% true... Haha was trying to just get the easier basic things. But you're right.

Whats made you move over to the leon?
I had the leon on the road for a few years than it just sat about. I have always eased some thing. Rc cars. Banger racing
Etc. Then the saxo I built and developed. Now I wanna go faster lol. So with a lot of input from different suppliers and people on here it should be quiet the car when done
Didnt even consider this thank for the idea

Yea alot of that is going to be removed in the future but not untill it get taken off the road haha.
Yea im looking at moving the battery to the boot aswell.
I bet, the looms are huge and super heavy, i assume that would be really expensive to replace tho right?
