Insides of doors, the metal part could be cut out. Stereo & speakers. Heater matrix. Windows
Getting fiber glass ones and cutting the insides off that and adding a Carbon fiber flat door card.
And yes and more to your list.
I'm aiming for 750kg's or less.
The f/g doors wont fit properly, and you dont need them to get into the 700's
I was going to get them too, but I've been advised against it. Trimming them down & removing door bars will give a similar weight & a better fit
You getting a cage? Fibreglass doors & no cage is a dangerous choice

How do you go on when selling? You kept all the bits to go back in?
What a mare having to refit all that!
If i don't smash it up on a track day, then who ever buys it off me will take it as it is.
But i think i'm more likely to smash it up on a track day then sell it.

Not going to be too bothered about the fit coz very soon it'll be 90% track and 10% road running things in.

I have a constant ringing in my ears. I don't know if it's coz the music is at full blast or the exhaust.

Becuase it's my 2nd car that was meant for the track. I've been using it everyday coz the turbo on my Astra has snapped which is costing me £520 to get that sorted which would have been done last month but my insurance was due.....
Insurance or turbo..... Insurance or turbo..... Insurance or turbo.....
I chose insurance

Full one with door bars will be going in. I'll be doing track days with the doors as they are for now and saving up, getting sprayed, saving up again for cage then fitting them all at once.
