Eventually it will be Full strip but its still being used on the road every so often, so its still got the dash and the center handbrake covering.

Other than that everything else is gone,

Iv been looking on Plastics for performance and they do a kit for the LCR for around £400 which isnt to bad.

Total weight reduction if im honest im not to sure, as much as possible tbh

Nice man! I'm dying to know how much can be shed off. I'd love it when you could lose 200kg fairly easily but keep the bare bones dash. I'm always watching over here on the mainland to find myself another 4x4 20vt Cupra. That's got a blown motor or tranny or something to turn into a track car.

If you can when you're done stripping her down weigh the big girl and see what she puts out.

My current 4x4 20vt is my family "man wagon" so my girl would kill me when she has to drive the baby and no interior is left.
 
Hahaha im lucky in that respect as i have another daily car, so the LCR get left in the car port with a cover on it haha.

Couldnt think of anything worse than driving it all day every day in the condition its in especially as it has Sparco Sprint racing seat in it.

Dont get me wrong, there comfortable in short stints but not for a long journey.

Thanks again

Wooow that considerably cheaper than the place i found. Thanks

Not sure if worth doing the front screen or even if there available.

Even if there was an option I wouldn't do it. Plexiglass or acrylic can be scratched easily by sharp or coarse objects... for example stones and daily **** thrown at car windshields. Plus knowing I'm behind shatter resistant filmed glass for my windshield is comforting.
 
Strangly enough im just in the process of writing one up haha.

I link it below once iv finished haha.

Its a long read pre warning haha

Nice read. I'm in Essex also (Basildon).

To answer a previous question, mine is predominantly stripped out as a track car and has seen Brands many a time and last year was weighed at 1265kg with a 3/4 full tank of fuel but no driver and got a perfect 49.8%/50.2% left-right split with 64%/36% Front-Rear balance. (I think they weigh near 1450kg normally).

Leon20VT, Cheers for the link for the Polycarbonate windows, they may have another customer at that price!

Glad I could help brother! Thanks for the help on the weight factor. You've shredded some good weight over 110kg. Do you have your stock dash in? A/C? SAI? Etc? Any pics?

I look forward to seeing your car and results!

I will also be going to them for my windows!

I keep seeing these on ebay, im really temped to get them as there from Plastics for performance which is a good company for them, but i was planning on getting the read windows in the grey tint which is slightly putting me off.

Especially knowing about the other company linked above as there only just over £200 inc vat

Dunno if im just being silly tho especially as there quite cheap haha
