Also i feel obliged to ask again matt, What have you done to lose 135KG from your car apart from the aircon delete,Presuming you are calculating the kerb weight with appropriate fluids in at the correct 1395KG as you say its now 1260KG?
5kg FIA custom racing seats
Aircon & ancillaries removed
Alternator cover removed
Airbox resonator and intake removed
Front girder removed
Horseshoe brace removed
Bonnet sound-proofing removed
Boot carpet
Boot sound-proofing
floor mats
jack
jack bracket
spare wheel removed
Rear seat sound proofing removed
Fog lights and holding brackets removed
Unneeded plastic cut from front bumper
Boot light bracket removed
Roof handle & brackets removed
Driver foot rest removed
Roof strengthening plates removed
Radiator side brackets removed
Injector brackets removed
Ashtray lid
lighter removed
Polycarbonate battery clamp
Carbon fibre pillar covers
Rota GRA lightweight alloys
TPI lightweight tuner nuts
2 catalytic converters swapped for lighter pipes.
Plus few other things that I've missed.
Basically the rear seats still remain.
I'm looking into lightweight battery, steering wheel, prop-shaft and panels/glass to save another serious chunk. I wish I'd known how heavy calipers were before buying OE replacements.

Not chosen arbitrarily I might add. Some local nicked one off Billy and OE were hard to find and far more expensive than the Chinese "Carbon fibre" ones.
TBH Tubstermeister you have to get damn close to notice them.

If you have done all that fair play but lets hope you dont crash it then with no front end protection/roof protection, Suprised you didnt remove the door bars too in all honesty as there is a good bit of weight in them along with trimming back the inner door skins...carbon cannister etc
Technically carbon pillars are adding weight as its a stick on part

I weighed a Carbon Pillar and it was quite a few grams lighter than the OE Pillars they replaced.
Is it just me?

So my "Carbon" fibre pillar covers magicked themselves on?
You really are the strangest troll we've ever met.
Next you'll be saying it's BS that I once ate 3 Big Macs and that the human body can't physically do it. .

They were certainly cheap but do a job covering the exposed clip holes etc.. Dunno what the door has to do with the removal of them... I had to open the door to fit the seats if that's where you're getting confused?
#84
you said they were stolen, you cant remove them without opening the door
#87
probably would have helped, stop you wasting money on crap you dont need like catch cans etc and i could have pointed out that imprezas cost a lot to run before you found out you could'nt afford to put fuel in it.
