Stage 3 weight reduction...

Had a bit of fun today!
Most of the car is now..umm NOT in the car! 
The arse end is sitting about 2" higher (how much does a hatch weigh  took me a little by surprise that one!). When you take it all out the interior doesn't take up much room at all!
Cheers

No way just taking about 10-20mm off the LENGTH of every thread Toyota use ffs!
JCMF: Yep sure was fun! Looks like you've been having fun as well! (btw how on earth could you tell its a sa63 now? )

Also forgot to mention, it now has massive +ve camber problems with the lack of weight (looks quite hilarious)!

Cos its not a Supra cos there is no bonnet bulge, it has the rear mounts for the IRS and I haven't heard of anyone buying an RA65 
That is a REALLY odd colour!

Been a while since I've seen an RA60 steering wheel, so I've forgotten. I don't know what an RA65 steering wheel looks like so I can't say.
