    Is it not possible that if you strip too much weight from the cabin and boot, that the rear end might get a little light?

        Race cars compliment it with some extra bracing etc and roll cages which add more weight to the shell.

          We should be able to save around 150 - 200 Kgs or so.
          200 kg = 90lb = 6.4 stone

          the only problem i see is that because im about 6 stone heavier than lee for example im on a looser straight away

          ive tried this with bikes over the years and because im on the large side some would say fat c@nt its easier just to go up the bhp either through turbo or nitrous or in my case both ,thats why im looking at 400 rear wheel bhp on the bike this year
          or i suppose you could cut a leg off
          or as some one said before leave the missus at home

          ps before some one says it why not do both ive allready thought of that
          just playing devils advocate

            Fuck! Good effort.

            On a weight saving note, just get a tiny girlfriend to even it out. Lee managed it!

                          Replace both seats with one carbon fibre jobbie
                          Remove all sound proofing
                          No need for wipers cus no windows
                          Drill holes in the roof and bonnet - additional cooling for engine and no air con needed!
                          Remove all locks
                          If you are a fat tw*t, go on a diet

                                Sounds a bit messy if you're on the move .

                                I think I'd look at the Lotus 211 and keep both hands on the wheel .
