The car will be looking quite different as Inters, its going to be in its fast spec there haha.. Not poser / scraping off the ground spec

Ill be driving down on the TD's.. Can't be arsed changing them when I get there to have to change back for the drive back etc.. Ride heights will all need adjusting too..

I have managed to get another 15 or so kg out just giving it a good going over the whole car..

Should be down to just under 1200kg for the weekend all being well!

Also got some new trick bits going on the car tomorrow, ill get some pics up once there on! Im hoping that they should help a little, all the testing has been looking very good so we will see!

Im really keen to get the boot and rear windows done soon as possible as the weight is unbelievable in the stock parts.. Plan is carbon boot with polycarbonate rear 3 windows, that lot should save about 40kg!!

The boot and window complete weighs about 40kg! Crazy.. Just a shame that im going to have to sort out the carbon boot myself as no one actually makes a 'carbon' boot.. Plenty of poorly fitting fibre glass items on the market though..

Im hoping to get another 10kg or so out of the car today.. No idea where from, but there must be something left that I can put in the big box in the garage! haha..
