Yes per seat

18 inch are lighter than 19 but 18 inch Cups are 0.5kg heavier than 19 so overall saving with my G2s is around 2.2kg per corner. Roly's Rays for sale will save nearly that as well

On top if that

SS backbox 12kg
Battery 7kg
Suspension 6kg
Seats 20kg (taking one out)
Rear seat and boot trims 20kg
BBK 5kg
Pollen filter 5 kg
Wheels 8kg (rotational)
Diet 20kg
Fluids 20kg
Puncture repAir etc 5kg

No washer fluid and run with less fuel

Most of the weight reduction is from the dashboard back wards.

The tail is too light any way ! !

good point, shave off 30kg just from the back of the car is not the smartest idea ...

maybe carbon engine block?

Shimmy thank You very useful link

as a real lightweight i race with Radical SR4, so I sure this will always be much heavier, just looking what all I can do without loosing the CSL soul :-)

looks like the mods will be

- SS back box and maybe pipes
- big brakes but no love for the 2 piece AP, more Movits or Brembo monoblocks
- battery change
- and maybe seats and 4 point seat belts and some removable harness bar
