    Weight saved ~5kg with the foor inner cut out should be around 7kg saved, per door!

    Here i was thinking i was running out of free/easy reductions.

    This weekend i will be removing the front sway bar.

    Only for the rear doors and hatch, need fronts functional as there is no fan unit in the car plus no carpet means it gets real hot in there

    Ripped off the rest of the stuff on the roof. Procrastinated, then manned up and pulled the front sway bar.



    Nice bit of weight saving!

    It all started swapping spacers. Which i didn't even do. Cut the metal out from the other door, then said stuff it. Lets do the dash.



    Removed everything behind it. Got rid of the power windows loom and cut most of the radio loom out.

    going to remove all the abs wiring while the dash is out tomorrow.

    Saved a bit over 16kg's.

    Going to throw it on the scales when done? Be keen to see how it compared to stock advertised weights
