The RA also does away with electric windows, electric antenna and ABS but adds an intercooler water spray. I don't think you'll find a difference of more than 30kg between the cars.

The main reason for its livelier performance is the close ratio gearbox.

Its mainly things like the above, and also all the sound deadening, believe it or not, they are not much lighter than some of the UK cars.

Also done without fog lights, air con, underseal and radio, The total saving was indeed 30kg. ( according to my book anyway )
