My stock 110ah battery weight 25kg.
I did consider bucket seats, but I was a bit worried about comfort and the lack of adjustment. Also they would really change the look of the car. The TT seats look very similar to the D2 recaros and should fit the interior perfectly. I agree 22kg is a bit heavy, but at least I will save 12kg compared to the 34kg recaros in there now.
If only someone thought to do fully adjustable recaros with a titanium or carbon frame, then we could have best of both worlds.
The service book weight was 1789kg, I shaved of 10kg with the lighter 18" alloys, and the Supersport tyres (-2kg per wheel).
I notice the previous owner removed the TV reciever, CD changer, etc, so thats another -2. But I added a foot pump, so thats probably +2.
I'm going to delay putting the battery in until the seats are ready, and put them in together, that should be -44kg in one go. I want to do it all in one go to hopefully be able to feel the difference. Also I'm hoping the rear box and middle box weigh close to 20kg together, so that should be another nice chunk.
According to my local MOT place, the middle box has rusted through so it has to come out anyway.
