VR6 furniture weight...

[Richard Andrews]

Iam thinking about stripping the car completely to shed some weight. Was wondered if anyone has done this and what the combined weight of everything was? I would keep the dash and just chuck in a pair of sparcos!

Including some of the aircon system and adding back in 2 bucket seats and harnesses I have removed about 100 to 110 kgs.

Depends on how drastic your planning to be. The above figure includes door cards, headlining, swapping electric windows for manual ones, stereo, speakers etc etc.

I have got a rough breakdown of the weights if you need it.

This was on a 3 door 16v GTI

Aircon rad and pipes = 3kg, dryer and pipes = 2.4kg, and compressor = 8kg. So a total of 13.4 kgs.

I didn't remove the matrix inside the car because its all linked up wuth the blower and heater.
