Not much has been happening in mk1 land as I am having a little brake from it, just doing little jobs at night after work tonight was fit the rear boot lid and try and get the gaps right.

Great result Si. As above, it's amazing that it doesn't look like it's been hacked to bits. In the 13's at last!.. Just |

Good work, considering it has a full cage and road lighting, that's impressive. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

With all you have been doing I really expected a LOT lighter than that mate I was thinking the same mate, but there is a lot of cage in there. I think i have found 30kg+ I could remove ie all the turbo stuff 😂. In all seriousness I was shocked it was heavier then I thought and happy it was not over the 500 mark. I will be going over every part that's not been remade or removed on the Christmas holidays to see where savings can be found. There is some stuff that I know about that I need / want to remake and I know the engine could be lighter in places.

To be honest, you're gonna have to add 50kg to the final figure to account for the balls you have driving this mental thing!

Lovely build! Should you wish to shed more pounds I think the only really easy route left is to go for one of the MS 5port alloy heads...8.5Kg saved in the blink of an eye.
