   if i was to strip my saxo what sort of weight loss could i expect? ie 20 kg ect. was thinking whole rear seats/carpet. just keep door cards (or get carbon fiber ones) and dash. not got fogs. might loose rear wiper too. is it possible to get these cars under 800k?

   i don't think any have made sun 800, lowest i can recall is a 830, but carbon fiber bonnets, boots, bike mirrors why leave door cards in, most interior trim can be lost, who needs a passanger seat?

   I've done Rear seats, carpet and sound deadening, airbag gear, standard steering wheel, rear wiper, interior panels and head lining. I'm keeping the rear wiper as its useful but I might start with the hole saw in areas if I see the need

   Sub 900kg is easy.
   Sub 800kg is hard but possible.

   Spare wheel, jack and carrier
   Rear seats
   Doorcards
   Any interior trim
   Carpet
   All the sound deadening
   Roof lining
   Replace the sunroof with a carbon sheet
   
   Also remember most aftermarket parts tend to weigh less than standard bits ie exhausts seats etc
   
   If you wanted close to 800kg you would be looking at carbon bonnet and boot possibly roof skin, fibreglass doors and polycarbs.

    Aftermarket brake calipers are often bigger and lighter
    
    Lighter wheels is also a very good shout..
    
    Unsprung weight reduction is worht its weight in gold over sprung weight.
