just be careful with the "Monster" Aps and wear a seat belt so they don't chuck you through the windscreen

It is a massive saving indeed. I don't have access to decibelmeter but I can tell they are slightly louder than stock, more like SS Sport. I only heard from the inside of course, I'll be at the track next week and will have a few videos from the outside and give you all a preview.

My first attempt on a heavy brake was shocking. I thought I got stuck in a swamp ! Damn ! Instant stopping power !

Since I have Red AP's now, I thought it would look silly on red wheels. So, I decided to paint the OZ's again. Couldn't decide between gunmetal or bronze so cooked up a "in between" color. I call it BronzeMetal

What do you all think ?

Looks fantastic.

Removed the rear seats today and I'm having a custom cardboard panel made for the opening. Will be covered in Alcantara.

Here is a break down of the weight of the rear seats.

Rear Bench, 6.2kg

Small seat back, 3.7kg

Large seat back, 4.0kg

And the rest (Head rests, seat belt buckles, rear mats), 2.7kg

Overall 16.6kg. I am guessing the cardboard panel will weigh somewhere between 3-4kg. So a total saving of about 12-13kg. Not bad.

Braille battery will be put in after the seat delete...

Seat delete panels went in. They turned out heavier than I hoped but I asked a bit extra foam to keep the new exhaust's drone away and it works great. We removed 16.6kg and put back 5.3kg for the panels. 12.3kg loss. Not bad.

Next up is Braille battery and then corner balance with the new weights. The rear has visibly lifted after the exhaust and seats, definitely needs a adjustment.
