Weight saving always wins.
But if you want to do it cheaper just strip your interior, it's free.
Rip out carpet, A/C, Heater, seats etc..

Is it legal in nsw to have a stripped interior? i thought you would need an engineer's cert.

That sounds better.... wonder if anyone has one they can weigh as the weights I have found online are all different.

I would assume it is illegal in every state... excluding little things like carpet

I believe you can get the car re-registered as a 2 seater if you remove the rear seats but i don't know what else needs to be done.

Note, that might just be for QLD.

You can do this in victoria as well. You need to remove the seatbelts for some reason and then make sure you notify vicroads

Just take the spare out (and take a good dump).

.... and make sure to cut your finger nails.... thats an extra 1/4 of a gram

Damn are we getting some top weight reduction ideas or what!

Laxatives would probably net you another 200g weight loss.
going bulemic would also net you quite a big loss in weight lol.
