It won't alter fuel consumption in any measurable form.

I think you should strip it for fuel consumption - but take it all with you to refit for the show

Strip it whilst there, find a good mate willing to store the parts while you drag then refit for the rest of the show! best of both worlds!

Taking a large shite and not eating for a few hours before going up the strip will have a similar effect to taking the seats out and involves much less effort and a slightly more pleasant journey to and from the show.

Not completely pointless, he might lose a tenth which I'm sure will make it seem worth it when he's refitting it all next week

What a load of shite.

Winds me up when people strip out the car for drag strip, then say they get a 14 second dead, then re fit everything and say there car will do a 14 second 1/4 mile when with all the weight back in it wont. Leave it as it is, hardly gonna break any records anyway is it.

Well I say good luck, do what you can.

No one who's car has been near F Sport can laugh at anyone wanting to save a bit of weight
