I had a fair bit in mine.. laptop from work, few parcels, towels cleaning kit as well etc...

Also had 3/4 of a tank... and the spare tyre


I'm thinking i could get 12s  :jumping:   ???

Get down to Pod mate during the summer and find out.  :wink:
I reckon we need another forum meet there soon. Be good to compare the times at York compared to Pod. I did always find it a tad quicker in my CTR when use to go. But that was a good while back now. Think a trip to York maybe on the cards..  :jumping:

Was admiring yours at VWR on Thursday Niel  :drool: :drool: Lovely.  Cant wait for carbon bonnets to go into production for the Leon.
Thanks, hoping to get it back for the Inters  :smiley:

Just under 1300kg :smiley:

I'm looking to get it under 1300kg too John but with the weight of a rear roll cage may struggle, mates running in the VW Cup have stripped front doors & plastic windows saving 40kgs but I'm going to need the electric windows with no A/C  :laugh:

..but with the weight of a rear roll cage may struggle..


....Ah, is it you who Mat @ VWR mentioned a half-cage about? I'm investigating a removable half-cage.

Sorry it's off-topic (very unusual for me  :wink:)

take your rear crash bar out!  :happy2:

 :surprised:

I think Jonnyc did this as the bar weighed around 18kg.

I have plenty to go at before safety kit gets removed Joe :happy2:

Its 8kg.. Lightest we weighed mine at was 1156kg

100% agree.  I was thinking about posting up a POD RWYB feeler thread actually.

That is why I'm wavering about a cage at the moment, although I may well need one when the conversion is done by Inters :innocent:
