I know what you are thinking Steve 
You just want to shed some weight off of the car like I have to increase your bhp per tonne figure 
Mine weighs 968 kg ( got to take the weight of a disklok and a heavy duty 3 piece tow bar off as I left them in the car at the time of the weigh in )
We'll call it 960 kg
So lets say mine is sitting at the same as yours
248 divided by 0.960 = 258 bhp per tonne
That's an extra 33 bhp per tonne than before.
Strip the seats out mate.
Not forgetting that mine has a 6 point cage in it too and that weighs quite a few kilos
