hi all, what can i remove to make the car a little lighter

Remove rear seats and replace fronts with lightweight buckets, remove carpets, remove headlining, remove AC/heater/radio/speakers, lighter wheels, then depending how far you want to go carbon fibre bonnet/tailgate/doors then polycarbonate windows, removing crash beams (not advised unless you are fitting a cage).

is it safe to take off the bottom engine cover??

Explain?

If you mean the undertray then there is little point, it doesn't way a lot and the aerodynamic benefits are greater than the weigh loss benefits.
If you mean the sump, then no...

defo not the sump lol ,need all the seats got kids lol yes it was the undertray sorry. I dont have fog light or ac none gt model ..

As Loxy says, unless you start taking big stuff off you're going to have little if any benefit. You have kids, so seats need to stay, I take you don't want the carpets out either? Or stereo?

Needs to make car lighter by removing stuff.
Can't remove stuff.

Good thread this :lol:

Your best option is replacing the heavy items with light weight items in your case ie bonnet, doors, boot, windows, battery.
This will cost a lot though.

As mentioned unsprung weight is best place to loose it.
