The other night I took both seats off and the hard top to remove the harnesses. I'm still waiting for my new sets of harnesses that are Hans compatible. So, while my interior's all apart, it's a good opportunity to do some detailing and remove the unecessary radio and speakers. Yes, I can't hear anything in the car and it's just an added weight.

That's what I like about the F50

Don't you think the passenger is goingto want more padding than what you have showing in the pictures? Light weight is one thing, but geeze...there is an extreme...
Is there anything else left to gut? The Lotus is so minimal to begin with.

YES, remove the A/C, replace the heavy steering wheel, replace the seats, lighter rims, and more...

What are your plans for lightweight wheels?

There are a couple of options. I'm still undecided.

You need wheels made from space age metals for super light strength and atomic fire protection. This guy in the pic has that already.
BTW -I called the phone number of the aliens that control him and surprisingly enough I was connected to HRE wheels - so maybe this is not such a good idea...

I like simple one-piece rims.

From a cosmetic standpoint, I think they look really good. But when you consider performance, they look like absolute horseshit.
Horseshit looks and smell like horseshit. It's shit. Dung. Crap. Nothing more . Nothing less.

Love the RPF1s. Andrea doesn't really want those and wants to get the LMs or RGRs.
