Edited July 4, 201213 yr by MarkDerby

You sound heavy mate a lwb manual 1605 and auto 1615

15kg not that far off ... thats about a small child in the car ... its not bad if you think how big my install is in the car

You removed A/C to save on weight and then added some ICE :huh:

 

My shorty is 1550Kgs :thumbup1: yes 50kgs of led's I know you want to put it :no:

yeah if u like ... i wasn't trying to save weight i knew it was going to be heaver

but with the lighter wheels,bonnet,ac,Na conversion just wanted to see

was quite surprised when he said 1620 thought it was going to be well over 1700

Is that kerb weight? i.e. full tank of gas and nobody in it?

(me) no one in it and half tank

I weighed it at Oulton Park last Sept, wasn't in it only my wallet and 2/5ths of a tank at a guess.

 

I wasn't on the kerb I was on a weighbridge :biggrin:

:no: I was thinking to myself, how long will it take for a reply like that? 4 mins was my answer lol

 

For anyone that hasn't seen the figures before, here they are from Wikipedia

 

Curb weight

3,186 lb (1,445 kg) 2 seater non-turbo T-top

3,373 lb (1,530 kg) 2 seater twin-turbo T-top

3,310 lb (1,501 kg) 2 seater twin-turbo hard top

3,432 lb (1,557 kg) 2 seater convertible

3,313 lb (1,503 kg) 2+2 non-turbo T-top

3,602 lb (1,634 kg) 2+2 twin-turbo T-top

3,602 lb (1,634 kg) 2+2 twin-turbo T-top

 

so according to that ... I'm 14kg Lighter ?

So glad I didn't disappoint

But you need to have a full tank for true kerb weight so for every litre you are short add about a kilo

Mark your car is clinically obese Lol

ok .. so thats not hard to work out ... Half a tank ... what dose the tank hold 55/56lt ? so lets say another 30lt till full so your saying there about 30kg more this works about 16kg heaver than stock

 

so still regardless of what i have done to the car i'm not that much heaver than stock and its nothing to even thing about

as any one could easy be carrying that in shopping/tools/items in the car or boot

Mark your car is clinically obese Lol

 

we will have less of that .... its not fat .. just big and bubbly haha

What do you reckon your install weighs Mark? You deleted all that crap from the arches as well didn't you?

no all the vac side is still on the car ....

 

not 100% sure but i can lift the box with the subs in it just i would say 80>100kg

thats about one adult

There's definately a few more kg to be shed removing all that, i've just done mine and there is a fair pile of pipes, plastic and brackets on the floor now. You might struggle to do the carbon canister with the bumper on though if you decide to do so. The rest can be done by removing the wheel and a couple arch liners

Big Boned lol???

When I had my slicktop corner weighted, it came in at 1353kg. Which i thought was very low, about 1/3 tank of fuel but unladen apart from that.

 

Minus AC/carbon canister, bogo model with 1 electric seat no cruise or climate or airbag etc.

 

Do wonder if the scales were out! I could do with getting it weighed again to see.
