if you want to save weight then its worth doing.

what benefits will it give to you though? the amount of times i have 2 mates going somewhere and can only take 1 is annoying.

Tbh, it depends. What kind of car do you have? If it's a 1.0 12 volt then really you won't see a difference.

Aye it'll obviously make a difference, but such a small difference that it's not really worth the hassle

I took the spare wheel out of my 12v and I could feel a slight difference from just that, so seats would do more.

But you're not seeing my point. It'll make a difference, but it's still as slow as a one legged asthmatic blackpool donkey!!

I was reply to 3lfz mate, not you

And I would of, but my old1.0 12v kept throwing up the EML so didn't have a chance to go for a 10 second pass.

Don't do drugs, and have only had 2 Bulmers' so it must be the latter.
