btw its all going back in after the meet
rear seats
rear door panals
spare wheel
glovebox
centre console

LOL, that's real dedication!!
Don't bother with the console/door panels/glovebox as they weigh nowt and will most certainly rattle like hell when you refit them.
The rest on the other hand weighs a bloody ton - whip it out! Haven't had the passnger seat out, but I think they're just a simple bolt job. The rear upright needs 2 types of star-drive (a 6 pointed and a 12 pointed) and can be fiddly.
As mentioned though launching is the key.

ive taken them all out before and its been fine :) and i heard the door panels are quite heavy actually from reading through the race car thread
tony_danza:
Ahh, see I'm just lazy and lob the quick to remove & heavy stuff out!
I was looking at a time spent vs benefit gained - but if you know what you're doing then fair play. Do us a favour and weigh the door panels when you have them out??
JPC:
woow....dedication benny! ;) good luck and see you at the pod!
bennylenny88:
