bit more than that i would think.
fronts are mega heavy but then you need to fork out money to replace them.
door cards, sound deadening, speakers, trim, etc first off.

Is your thing any louder since you removed the sound deadening? Probably isn't soooooo much cause of the Miltek

What is the weight of the standard fuel tank as I want to replace mine with a light weight example? Anyone?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Man it seems like theres alot of weight saving to be done in the Clio's. Kev how does the back end feel once everythings out?
Take the rear 1/4 cards off and leave them off, in the bottom of the shell where you took them off theres huge wads of sound deadening if you're getting picky. they dont weigh an awful lot tho.
As said by other people really, the iso fix bar, rear seat belts, etc
other things to consider are carpet, headlining, under dash pieces.
mmm,
To be fair a replacement one is useless, unless it was 1/3 of the size wont really be effective..
Then you'd have to stop fuel more times than a dog goes for a piss.
The plastic std one isnt really that heavy.. if it was a big issue they would of ditched it on the cup cars for a small cell, but they havn't.
I'm going for no weight, and the only reason i'd consider replacing for a small/light cell is because it'd be un-cost effective to find a standard tank and fit it. Fortunate for me, i struck a deal with a bloke and it was included in the sale for next to nothing, other good thing is i have a fuel sender too, so now i can use the fuel guage on my SPA dash
