Weight Loss- 150Kg Possible?

Not flaming, but the issue is safety regulations are so high now that they are required to add so much extra weight to meet these standards. To really get weight

Not flaming, but the issue is safety regulations are so high now that they are required to add so much extra weight to meet these standards. To really get weight loss you will need to start ripping out all the sound dampening components, A/C, radio, etc.

~Windshield washer fluid container - remove front bumper and it is on the left
~Rear hatch materials
~Lighter seats
~Remove radio/speakers
~New battery & aftermarket (performance and lighter body panels)
If you are not wanting to remove sound dampening materials you can invest into carbon fiber pieces, new wheels, but that is really about it. You mention it does not feel as "nimble," a nice fix to that would be sways & coilover upgrade.
