i've subsequently put my car on a hefty diet and stripped out a crap load of weight as follows

So heres the itemisation of the weight saving

1. Front Calipers 2NH 7.5kg reduced to 2.73 (Per front corner) = -9.54kg both sides
2. Front Rotors 13.9kg reduced to 9.34kg (Per front Corner) = -9.12kg both sides
3. OEM 788 11.2kg reduced to 8.4kg (per corner) = -11.2kg all 4
4. OEM Lead Acid Battery 27kg reduced to 6kg (lithium battery) = -21kg
5. OEM Seats 28kg PER seat reduced to 12kg Per seat (Recaro) = -32kg
6. OEM Bonnet 20kg reduced to 12kg Aluminium Bonnet = 8kg

So that nets me a handy 90.86kg (exactly 200lbs) weight reduction which should get the fatty down to 1534kgs.

Can probably shave another 40 to 50kg out by stripping out the rear seats and changing rear brakes over to AP Racing calipers and rotors, changing to titanium exhaust and carbon fibre bootlid and carbon fibre roof also

I intend to take the car back to the suspension shop and have it re-corner weighed now i have done all of the above. just need to find time
