Your not going to get anything very noticeable if you dont remove the interior, which I wouldnt do myself, is it really that important to you to lose wieght in the car? I cant see why people do it unless its going on track.

Rear seats are a peice of piss to take out and back in, probably about 20 mins to do either.

Have you changed the engine in anyway first ?

Theres no point in it, id rather have the comfort and quietness of having an interior. Only worth it if its going to be used on track!

I thought if it was there then it had to have legal tread, if its not there then it doesnt matter, sure thats what we used to do. You wouldnt believe I used to be an MOT tester cant remember nothing
