I don't know enough about the card output to push it to it's limits and Braille etc recommended this one for all car with standard electrical outputs.

Wise considerations ....

Mine was 1394kg's with 1/3 tank of fuel last time it was set up. Happy with that at the moment. Nothing stripped, just the usual lighter brake and exhaust components. That's 201kg's lighter than my previous E46 M3 with about the same fuel level!!

Shim - need to remember that the cage adds weight which you don't have to worry about :D

Mine was 1243 earlier this week but still needs some bits adding back so guess 1255 all in now.

Mines just a temp thin anyway for Spa

just trying to get the whole car inc driver 100kg lighter than May last year. Might do a trial run for Snett in April and like you say no cage and no passenger
