Condensor is all aluminium, compressor is heavy bit - I'd rather have the cool and a slight slow down

O', likewise. I couldn't do without it on a road car.
I even insist on a daily runner having full leather and air-con. However, the question was asked, and so I added my bit.....I even added that it only saw track duty to clarify ;)

Because its such a heavy car to begin with, if you desire, there is alot to be lost :y

From the moment I picked up your book until I laid it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.

Now, that attitude isn't going to win races. ;)

I like this attitude to weight reduction:

I like his quote about adjustable suspension too. Very appropriate.

BTH my main way to lose weight would be a diet.

As to lightening - there is tons of sound insulation to go, the underseal is pretty heavy too - and often overlooked.
