Yeh I'd be interested in any useful tips. We have a 205 mi16 as a track car and its as fast, and we can't be having that.

Having said that its nice to get to work and not be deaf.

ive stripped the rear seats and all metal fittings underneath.
removed spare and jack ,replaced with tyre foam stuff.
removed sound deadening that someone put in the boot,. that **** weighed a ton and also a b4stard to get out!

thats all for now. saved a few kilos , plus it didnt cost anything apart from tyre foam.

you could get a light weight battery - quite expensive .
or remove the aircon like you said.
