Weight saving - see ya later interior

(1/3) > >>

Tfsi_Mike:

If I can talk the missus into taking her car over when we move into our new place in Germany.  (Shes apprehensive about driving on the continent)

Im Seriously considering losing as much of my interior as I can replacing my seat with a light recaro and leaving the passenger seat in to remind me it is a cupra lol

How much would you think I could potentially save?  Also looking into Carbon bonnets that have just gone into production for the leon  :party:

djhorace:
My back seats have been out for ages now as I never have anyone in the back. They weigh approx 10-15kg. Front seats are approx 20kg each I would say.

Easy enough to do?

Thinking about a belt swap and ditching the aircon compressor too

djhorace:
Aye. 10mm spline in 4 places will remove the front seats. Rear seats need a spline drive too.

If you are ditching the a/c compressor, you will need a different belt. I left my compressor on, but removed the core.

....Yep, but that leaves the runners still in place doesn't it?
