Default Weighed the car today!!

Well after spending lots of time seeing where i can lose some weight on the car by losing the glass windows - for perspex and a fibreglass kevlar tailgate, stripped internals etc etc etc. i was hoping to lose around a 100kg of the standard weight of a Fiesta Rs turbo of 1060kg. So after various good friends hassling me to weigh the car i did today.

Wow was i shocked i was hoping for around 900kg but the printed document read

790kg
