   just thinking of ways to improve performance on my mango 1.1 eastcoast.
   
   lost the spare wheel that made a hell of a difference.nothing else i could really think of.swapped back to steelies for abit but looked odd as ive got the vt kit on it.also suprisingly dindt make much of a diference in accel just lighter steering.anything else anyone could think of??

   Rear seats
   Parcel shelf
   6x9s or big subs
   Sound deadening
   carpet
   rear Seat belts
   
   Them are the freebies for weight loss. If you don't mind a bare interior that is.
   
   Then it gets expensive, Carbon fibre boot, roofskin, bonnet.
   
   Wont see much difference between changing wheels. Unless you get some Pro 1.2s, or the light c5 steelies.
   
   Even then, its not going to give 10bhp.
