Just a thought but wouldn't' be less work/hassle if you leave everything in place if losing is a near certainty...   :smiley:

A good set of slicks will see you shave a good amount off your time, won't help your terminal though. You've got most of the main bits to strip, the rest would just be a few kg here and there - don't eat and have a big crap  :happy2: lol

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.

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??
