i heard the ABS was only worth 4kg, can you post up how much it weighs once its out please?
next for me is to remove the front widows glass to replace with plastic windows so i can then remove all the electric window stuff :bigthumb: and removing the rear crash bar

cant see that mate, the ABS pump itself maybe, but then you have all the brake lines and ABS sensors etc, will soon add up to a fair old chunk i recon

plus it gives me the space to relocate my oil filter to the space

Not sure if this has been covered but:

I bet a stainless race header with decat knocks a few kg's off over the cast jobby

Also my coilovers were much lighter than the springs and shocks.
