CF baby seat for the race track? I guess they really do start young these days? baby weigh less than adults?

Anyway I kinda like these

They are around 3 kg each (not including the rails)
Your sweat will not soak into them, they look quite comfortable.
At current exchange rates they are about 1.1 k each hopefully the GB price will be a bit better...
every ounce counts

Damn but thats light.

You of all people will hate me for this wun but I've got a pair of carbon fibre buckets sitting at home in the garage. Have been there for over a year now, just collecting dust :(
They were in my CRX that I had before the NA but the guy that I sold the car to really wanted to haggle on price, so they ended up coming out for the sale. Sad part is that they don't come even close to fitting in the NA :(

I really should get around to trying to sell those...

UK price + GST + duty + shipping, won't be $1.1K

Better to buy them off the local supplier: http://www.mmsport.com.au/Seats.php?pid=3

Matty is probably right. Whilst the product might be light you will still get charged based on the volumetric formulae for freight. It is your final cost delivered that counts.
