Question

Doing my first trackday next month. The back seats come out really easily from my current steed (not a scoob no more ). Is it worth it or will I just look a t0sser?? What about the spare?

Edited to say I wouldn't have bothered with my scooby but with this car (Clio 172) its ***all*** about power to weight...

depends how far you really want to go / is it worth it..

seats
Stereo
spare wheel
parcel shelf
jack
carpets
handles
Door trim
foglights..

But you say it's your first trackday !
personally I wouldn't bother till you get used to driving it on the edge (the real edge is further than most think )

(it's not like it's a race where every gram matters)

Neons, Pimp Tints, Big Bore Back Box (which only sounds loud ), Bass Box in the boot etc, etc - Oh and the Go faster Ironing board on the back window. In fact if it looks anything like a Max Power Creation, Its going to disappoint on the track, Otherwise as Fuzz said............. (how are ya doing anyway Andy, Long Time No Speak?)

The only mods to my 172 are the Group N ECU and open induction kit. Not really Max Power material...

One point of note is also that mole grips are lighter than most steering wheels....

Hmmm.
