Stripping something like a Saxo out isnt an issue, their interiors are shite and worth about 40quid... and the lightening will have an effect on power to weight of those cars since they're struggling to make massive power as it is. But on something thats big power, does it really make much difference?! Specially as most of the time people fling in a cage when stripped out.

The difference is AWESOME.. Acceleration, Braking, Handling all improved massively. I've removed all of the bitumen based sound proofing as well so it all adds up quite nicely.. 90-100kg easily I should imagine.

My car is going to be used for some 1/4 mile action next year.



Cage is suprisingly light.
