I'm going to get some black mats to break up the grey carpet, plus i need to find some passenger side seat trims to cover the front of the runners, ive got the drivers side but the others are missing.

The seats feel good to sit in, but i'm nearly 13 stone and i reckon thats the max for these, so lts diet time.

Battery next and at 16.5kg not the heaviest of boxster batteries.



and now down to 6.5kg with this Odyssey pc680



Found another 7kg with the bumper inserts



l've also removed the air con system saving 13kg even though it worked well i've used it once.

Also having the under drive pulley fitted removal of the compressor may enhance this mod.



Spare wheel, tool kit and jack at 14kg as for a can of tyre weld and RAC card



So weight loss so far 67kg



Before ----------------- After

Seats 40 ---------------------- 26

Exhaust 15.5 --------------------- 12.5

Steering wheel + Air bag 7.5 ----------------------- 1.5

Battery 16.5 ---------------------- 6.5

Bumper inserts 7

Air con 13

Spare wheel 14

Total 113.5kg ----------------- 46.5kg

New battery fitted, bolted in a treat and looks good, well as good as a battery can look.





Also change this little lot, 5 of the plugs where loose no wonder the engine was making chirping noises when it was turned off, also the coil packs looked well pasted there sell by date but the tubes looked ok



So if your engine makes a chirping noise, your plugs are loose
