as i need to kick as much weight out as possible ............... any ideas thanks There is no one magic weight saving trick, instead go though everything & I mean everything and ask you self, firstly is in needed, and if it is how can you make it lighter. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

363kg = 800lb, that would be bloody good going, the DON is about 440kg without the cage in.

The lightest car Ive heard of was 395kg which was Carls Twinny before it was a twinny. Lots of clever engineering went into it to get to that weight.
I seriously doubt it! |
