great stuff, just a rough weight and a quick run down on what is attached to the dash (ie, loom, heater pipes, clocks or not, etc etc)

What are you up to scoff? whats your plans? sorry for beeing rude

Weight saving by the looks of it! Be even lighter with no driver.

Last time I removed mine I thought about leaving it out full stop I would say it weighs a good 8-9kg. I left the heater box out as that weighs enough on its own with out the extra water in it. You could make a grp, carbon dash by taking a mould from the original.

Is this to make up for a roll bar ? out of interest whats minimum weight for euro compact??

11kilos for dash inc loom, clocks and top, indicator and wiper stalk, fuse cover, glove box lid, ashtray and heater controls and pipes. recon half that weight is the loom and guessin the heater box to be 4kilos tops. even with ya new diet it would be far easier to let me drive an save bout 20kilos, just need your cat like reactions :P

thanks for the info all, re plans, I'd like to pull another 20kg out, dashboard and remaining sections of hidden sound insulation hopefully giving me half of that. rob, no weight limitations in ESC class.
