Haha I wish. Prob 10-20kg of sound deadening. Heater, and misc. metal we cut out as well.

Ended up being 5kg of tar off the floor etc. Another 5kg of padding **** just behind the dash though! That **** is heavy!

Removed powersteering pump, a/c compressor, condensor, lines etc and fitted a powersteering delete kit from:
Steering De-Power Conversion Kit (MK2, MK3)
Comes with a new sized belt in this kit. Will be installed as soon as our light weight Gruvenparts pulleys arrive.
gruvenparts.com - 12V VR6 Power Pulleys

Also ordered a new 20L fuel tank to replace the big, heavy, stock unit.

Have a 5L surge tank on its way. Still need to sort out lines, pump, filters etc.

Be very very careful with that fuel cell, id check the Cams regs as they dont like fuel cells in teh car without protection. Most club scrutineers will knock back that fuel cell and then you cant run.

If I was you stick with the stock tank for a while and then build you fuel system.

Wish we had of checked that before buying!

"Where any part of the complete fuel tank is less than 500mm ahead of the rearmost point of the coachwork (excluding the rear wing), it may be required to be protected by a crushable structure of Nomex ® or aluminium honeycomb with a minimum thickness of 50mm to the rear, bottom and sides of the fuel tank assembly."

Seems easy enough to me to get around.

"save for 1st Category automobiles, be fitted with a bulkhead constructed from a flame- and liquid-proof material. If the material is clear it shall be a minimum of 6mm thick. This bulkhead shall effectively seal the cockpit from the fuel tank or re-fuelling system;"

Hmmm, this on the other hand....
