    I haven't had the chance to weigh mine, but I've got a rough estimate of about 850kg. There's just nothing left to take out.

    i know a lad called dean who lives in Derby, has a VTR for track days and i have no idea how much it weighs, but its just basically 1 carbon fibre bucket seat a steering wheel, gearstick and an engine, he has literally stripped it right to the shell, looks like shit, but goes like it too!

    Hardcore Dieting hehehehehe

    Im very interested in hearing some figures as Im all for sheading somemore weight in the build up to summer - Maybe having a good dump before you go out in the car might gain me a second or two depending on what Ive eaten

    There's much more been taken out since, but these pics were taken to show some people my new buckets. They are very light, only 7kgs, and the harnesses are lightweight Sabelts...

    lol Fantastic

    Does the instruments support their own or did you have to make a bracket to support them?

    Bet it make the inside seem HUGE with out all that plastic!

    So do reckon your down to about the sam weight as already mentioned around the 850kg mark?

    I take it you back to bare metal everywhere else to ie the headlining gone as well, correct?

    Sorry about the questions guys but Im very interested in your views and opiums.

    What is your views on wheels?

    Do think lighter wheels can not only increase handling performance but also reduce the overall weight of the car?

    Im looking to switch the standard 15' S rims to 14' Rallye Steelies as I feel these would be lighter than the standard alloys - Do agree or dissagree?

    That last one is spot on.

    Got a Momo Bucket just need a harness and Im away - So will the carpet (Front).

    Thanks for the offer about the S1 Steelies itsafastworld but like you Im after a set of S2 Steelies as they are slightly wider than S1s if Im correct.

    Mine nowhere as near to your two but me and missis still use mine over her Micra at weekends so cant go too mad



    This is abit outa date as Ive finally lost the Parcel Shelf supports and someother bits around that area - The wheel could go but again cos we use her at weekends it really needs to stay

    Only half an inch thats not too bad and £65 squids for the full set might be interested in them sir.

    Cars going in garage in the morning so I cant make a dissison now but I think about it and get back to ya - tyres not a problem as Id have to bu new ones if I bought New steelies so. Are the wheels in good condition?

    Use the 6x 14 inch steels from the S2 Rallye.. They work out lots lighter than alloys.. at least 5 kgs a corner off the top of my head.
    I used 5.5 x 13 inch steels from the European 205 Rallye on my Track car - With low profile tyres and lowered suspension the ride height was about 2 inches off the ground at the lowest point.

    Unsprung weight is a bad thing and reducing it improves the car no end. Same reason why I'm not a big fan of fitting huge discs and calipers unless they really are required.

    Kam, do you know where I might be able to get my hands on a set of 15" superleggeras for a 106? I can't find any, anywhere! New or second hand, I don't mind. My 16" superturismo's are heavy...

    Well, I was planning on fitting some semi-slicks to the superleggera's and using them on the track. Then I can pop the turismo's back on afterwards.

    I see where you're coming from... However, a 15" superleggera is half the weight of a 16" superturismo, like mine. I think this would improve things quite nicely!

    Not impressed... The lightest alloy they do for a 15" is 6.1kg. The 15" superleggera is just 4.7kg.

    yup, 1.5kg indeed... times 4, and that's 6kg of unsprung weight lost. But then again, the spacers + the longer bolts could add a wee bit of weight to that! SO perhaps there's not THAT much to it after all... Except the leggera's look better. The TD's would look spot on if it wasn't for the curved shape of the spokes I reckon.

    The VTS rims really that heavy? When I took the standard 14" alloys of my 106 during the swap to turismo's, I noticed that the 14" alloys were definately lighter...

    off the top of my head i cant remeber as my vts rims went over a year and a half ago! they did weigh a bloody ton though!

    get some uber lightweight magneisium wheel bolts if your that anal about it

    haha- 72 replies- no weights of cars!!

    I think the vts wheel thing is a misquote- 13Kgs with the rubber on them- add the rubber to the super or ultraleggera's and they go up a lot- when i changed mine over to 15" ultra leggera's fromstandard vts alloys it wasn't "wow, these are so light"- it was more of a "maybe there is a difference, if only i could be arsed to get the scales out".

    The 15" Turini alloys I have weigh 8kg. The 195/45 Proxes T1R tyres with air weigh around 7kg, as when I put the complete wheel and tyre in the scales it came to 15kg.

    there was a noticeable difference in weigh between my team dynamics pro race 16's and 15" vts wheels. 16" were notably lighter

    My original 14" alloys which came with the GTI were lighter than the Turini alloys I have now.

    How much does it cost to use a weigh bridge?

    also how much faster or whatever do your cars go when they are stripped~?
