Not yet to be honest, haven't had a chance to get it on a weight bridge, but have gone mental on the weight saving !
Would like to know myself !

PassionFord Post Whore!!
In the book I have here the complete car weighs 1206kgs if it's a 2 wheel drive and 1305kgs if 4 wheel drive. I don't know how accurate that is though.

JB,
The 1700kg figure is the maximum fully laden weight
.
The other figures quoted are without fluids, so you will find that a Sapphire generally weighs around 1250-1275kg, depending on wheel & tyre / brake size.
Obviously doesn't help with figuring out the stripped weight

J,
go to the dump on the A217 next to Tesco's, or the dump on the longmead estate in Epsom. they have weight Bridge. Im sure if you ask them they will let you drive on and weigh your car mate. IF not just show them that fucking nuckle duster thing on your fingers and say im not asking, i'm telling

Okay, just been down there.
Really nice fella, wouldn't take a penny off me, let me jump the que & came out & told me the weight.
With me (and my "bling) in the car, some crap in the boot jus below 1/2 tank fuel it weighed 1265kg's
Is that good or rubbish ?
He recond take about 100kg off without me so 1165kg.

Are you really 100kg you lanky streak of piss?
I'm 73kg wet through
, and my Sapphire weighed 1275kg WITHOUT me in it and with half a tank of fuel, so that is very good weight reduction in your car .

. What's the point in making it light to then fill it with your shit ?Light weight wheels.
Carbon roof (or very least one without a sunroof).
Remove the wiring loom and start from scratch and make a custom one with just all the bits you need.

Boots all done now, jus waitin on the spoiler being finished off !
Bonnet's already done
Doors next, but keepin the frame on the front for protection mainly, then roof
Not doin the poly windows cos I don't like em & I do like to have a few creature comforts, hence leccy windows still in front, leather fronts & a sub & amp in the boot !To compensate tho, I kicked the spare wheel out & cut the spare wheel out the boot too !

afpmsl @ you 2 ! Kirstie's jus bought one as well & on way to Southers last night she listened to that cos I didn't wanna listen to her dodgy music !
Then I got her singing !
The creature comforts come out last, after I've done all else as the car is STILL an everyday day !

Yeah yeah might be an idea Rich, you jus gotta whip one of the doors off !
Think I might start attacking the car again wit the grinder, the front tow eye's already gone, as is the rear !
I drilled loadsa holes in the o/s/f inner wing too to help the filter get as much air as possible, then flopped the fogs out, moved the washer bottle to the boot wit a smaller bottle & fed another air feed from the fog hole to the filter & added a lil splash guard so the wheel don't flick up to much shyte !
Even the boot hinges have gone to save some weight !
