Evening bodders.... :duffer:

 

I have started a mission to loose as much weight on me Z as possible.

All within reason as its not a race car :cry:

I need to keep the rear seats(luckily there only foamy sh#t)

The rear spoiler must weigh some but it needs to stay.

I know some items like c/f bonnet for std Z bonnet is not alota difference but it all adds up :dance:

 

of course most of this is eliminated as soon as i put any GoGo juice in and i cant get any thinner than i am already but it all helps.

 

Please add ideas to the list to help me on my way...Chunk has already contributed(CheerZ :cool: ) so i have included these:-

speakers
