Hey all, i was looking at stats and see the Octy is over 1500KG! quite heavy!, i know its a big car etc, just wondering if there is anyway to lose some weight without stripping out the interior? guess the spare wheel would be about it?

Other than Spare wheel, maybe try lighter alloys, removing false floor in boot, and that's about it.

If take spare out, would you need a that reinflate gel that you put into punctures?

Carbon Fibre Bonnet!

Get rid of the ruddy great diesel engine. That would save a few kg. Would probably make it quicker too.

Let the air out of the tyres? :rofl:

Seriously; there isn't much that you can do other than strip out all the electronic gadgets you have paid loads for or,

... replace a load of parts with lightweight stuff i.e. alloy or carbon fibre that will just cost you an arm and a leg and the other arm.

Basically, be grateful for what you have got that it is comfortable, safe and performs quite well or ....

...... buy a Caterham or Westfield - now they are lightweight!

If you are a larger person you can lose weight

lol, basically i had assumed as much, oh well, it will be fine when i get a remap

My Octy when half full of derv and with me in it weights about 1470kg if I remember correctly (we have a weighbridge at work).

My estate carries about 200kg in the boot so with me it must be weighing in at just under 1800kg :eek:
