   At a guess maybe 870kg? It really does depend how much you strip though.

   thats the thing i don't know if anyones like properly weighed in there cars after doing so ? i mean if it could get down to like 870kg that would be awesome though , just worked out that standard it would be 93.bhp per tonne roughly , if i got my furio mapped and cammed and stripped it would be pushing 122 bhp per tonne if it had a minimum of 105bhp at the fly

   Remember that most peole that seriously strip their cars get cages, which weigh a good 30-35kg for a good one. when my car is complete i will take mine down to get weighed

   As Ryan always says with the roll cages is that on the roads, if you crash then its just more metal to bang your head on. If you have a helmet then it wouldnt be as bad, but at least youd have a protected cacoon for you to sit in. Unless its full front impact.

    a furio weights less than that to start
    
    a furio weights 840kg standard so could probly get it down to 810-820kg

    It did hurt, but no point making a half arsed attempt at a track car. they are tasty seats though. can't spend money on the engine due to insurance

    Well how are you going to compete if its basicly standard ?? and you do realise that stripping it will instantly increase your insurance ?? and especially if you put a roll cage in it .. so if you havn't told them about that .. you might aswell mod your engine aswell mate

    remove airbag seat 15kgs.seat belt 1.2kgs total 16.2kgs.
    replace with bucket seat 8.1 kgs harness 1.75kgs 4x eye bolts/back plates .6 kgs side mounts 1.75 kgs. weld in rails 1.75 kgs total 13.95kgs.
    only saving 2.2 kgs/seat
    i thought i was saving loads of weight on seats alone till i added it up.
    its hard to shift more than 60ish kgs by stripping alone,rather than replacing std with c.f/poly etc.

    I am gonna tell insurers about the cage and that. and yes i could leave it standard but that would be boring. and gonna have a hell of a lot more fun in this one
