==Elise Weight Reduction==

S1 Alarm Fob 20 grams

'''Carbon clams''' are hideous money compared to the weight saved, and don't save much at all unless they are autoclaved or vacuum formed. Benetec CF Front Clam 4.95 kg Vs std at 15 kg but cost £58k :( Benetec CF Rear Clam 7,2kg

Be very wary of '''polycarbonate side screens'''. They are very flexible and, with the roof fitted, flare out dramatically at speeds above 60MPH.

Early '''rear arch liners''' are 2.8 kg. Later liners are lighter.

Removing the GRP where the reversing light and fog lights are, along with the grilles and the reversing light saves about 1 kg.

The '''rubber seals around all four wheel arch liners''' (assuming you haven't ditched the arch liners) are about 200g each, and most of the boot lid seal can be removed with just token parts left in to prevent rattle giving about 1 kg of saving.

'''Exhaust''' Exige/111R Catback: 13 kg. Stage 1: 11.8 kg (saves 1.2 kg). Stage 2: 8.2 kg (saves 4.8 kg). Quicksilver Titanium: 5.2 kg (saves 7.8 kg)

==Elise Weight Reduction==

S1 Alarm Fob 20 grams

'''Carbon clams''' are hideous money compared to the weight saved, and don't save much at all unless they are autoclaved or vacuum formed. Benetec CF Front Clam 4.95 kg Vs std at 15 kg but cost £58k :( Benetec CF Rear Clam 7,2kg

Be very wary of '''polycarbonate side screens'''. They are very flexible and, with the roof fitted, flare out dramatically at speeds above 60MPH.

Early '''rear arch liners''' are 2.8 kg. Later liners are lighter.

Removing the GRP where the reversing light and fog lights are, along with the grilles and the reversing light saves about 1 kg.

The '''rubber seals around all four wheel arch liners''' (assuming you haven't ditched the arch liners) are about 200g each, and most of the boot lid seal can be removed with just token parts left in to prevent rattle giving about 1 kg of saving.

'''Exhaust''' Exige/111R Catback: 13 kg. Stage 1: 11.8 kg (saves 1.2 kg). Stage 2: 8.2 kg (saves 4.8 kg). Quicksilver Titanium: 5.2 kg (saves 7.8 kg)

|Apr 2015, Scrap yard weigh bridge, 10kg fuel (16 litres). 1999 S1. Stark K20 Honda conversion. Roof off. Carpet still in the boot and factory floor mats. Radio and speakers removed. Harness bar added along with one set of harnesses. Larini 'Sports' Stainless Exhaust with extra Silencing Layer (extra layer of stainless steel around the silencer, so one of the heaviest after market exhausts I expect). 1kg Fire extinguisher.
