    All your pics are from the from, what about the rear ? As maybe most of us will be tailing behind most of the time

    Good one.... let's mentally (or physically) park it beside a C30. I would think this 480 looks better

    what a crappy last few months.... meh.

    Anyway Small Update ;D

    Did a rolling road day which included weighing the car, I was wishing it would be under a ton, epic fail I filled up with petrol 2 minutes away from RGS!! completely forgot.

    The car came in at 1020kg and 160bhp (had boost set at 8psi rather than 14) so was pleased with that - considering its 21yrs old and 160k on the clock.

    So weight saving is on - enter the new seats





    Replacing the old bucket seats has saved me 42kg in total!! can't believe how much!

    Puts me in at 978kg (full tank) and all I've really done is remove the interior.

    One thing that was highlighted on the rolling day was the position of the air filter (behind the battery) with no cold feed, so battery tray is ready to go in rear.

    The front and rear bumper have the crash beam that weighs a massive amount - be happy to see the car between 900 - 920
