Weighed the 172.....

[ForceIndia]

Impressed tbh, thought it would be heavier

 

[LouisQ]

About right, my FF182 is just shy of 1100kg. And Greeny's stripped 172 is just over 1000kg.

Thats cup weight you have there sir

 

[Craigus]

Wow that's impressive.

Am I right in thinking they weigh the cars with a full tank, passengers and luggage in the boot for book figures?

 

[DannoTheGreat]

how much have you stripped it?

 

[ForceIndia]

Rear seats out, spare wheel out.

 

[kevin.s]

was that with you in thecar aswell mate ?

 

[ForceIndia]

was that with you in thecar aswell mate ?

No fella.

 

[kevin.s]

still good though considering its not compleatly stripped.

 

[Matt@Stealthsport]

No wonder it was swift at Oulton mate - proper job.

 

[Savi]

You guys weigh it with a full tank of petrol or let it run on empty and weigh it?

 

[Nick172Cup]

Pretty good result tbh! Might put mine on some scales soon as i've taken a bit more than you. How much fuel did it have in it?

 

[Paul RN]

Still quite heavy for such a small car in the scheme of things.

What is it that makes a phase 2 heaver than a phase 1? Thinking about this the other day........ Only real thing i can think of is the 16" Renault wheels on the phase 2, compared to the 15" F1's of the phase 1...... what else?

 

[f0xy]

Ph1 has alloy bonnet

 

[Gaz_]

Not all of them?

And infact, the phase 1 has more wiring, as they dont run uch's etc

 

[f0xy]

Correct. I was just generalizing on aspects where the Ph1 can be lighter than the Ph2

 

[marinemackay2003]

under the ton (just) and fairly well balanced weight at the front and rear too

good effort

 

[Gaz_]

Maybe a few KG's (at most) extra for the Xenon ballasts........

 

[realnumber 1]

Still quite heavy for such a small car in the scheme of things.

Not when you take into account its 4 star euro N cap

 

[Joeh]

ph1's are light in standad form, how heavy are standard 172's not ph1's?, i know renault stripped 89kg off that for the cup

 

[f0xy]

Not all of them?

And infact, the phase 1 has more wiring, as they dont run uch's etc

Ph1s do run a UCH, just not the newer CANBUS version. The immobiliser and other features that revolve around relays (headlights etc) run through it

I'd be very happy if my 172 weighed that. It's not a lot more than my old 106 GTi weighed when that was stripped out.
I soon put it all back in again though when I realised how gash it looked, and how cold it got in there.

 

[ForceIndia]

Still got ac, and aftermarket xenons, so certainly not uber stripped. Doesn't have the alloy bonnet either.

 

[Perry]

Still quite heavy for such a small car in the scheme of things.

In comparison to what?

 

[Fluxuk05]

My Ph1 has the alloy bonnet and currently no spare wheel or kit so hope it would weigh around the 1000kg mark.

But then the lump of meat at the wheel adds another 90kg.....

 

[Naith]

150kg in warrens case (he's been working out iirc)

brilliant setup on this wagon, rides VERY well.

 

[Fred@BTM]

Is that BTM's uber fancy wireless scales i spy? you should see what the dynacup weighs in at!! you'll be surprised!

 

[Russ_16v]

come on then Fred, spill the beans

 

[mini-valver]

I need to weigh mine but it wont fit on the f**king flat bed. Stupid wide X85s

 

[JD]

Whats the Dyna at Fred?

 

[maynard]

Nice result mate! Fred you got scales now then?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i've had the scales for a while, they're wireless, proper cool!

i'm not saying the weight of the dynacup as that's the question for BTM Performance's xmas competiton

 

[Mr Burns]

Just for a comparison, my 197 weights 1245kg with the rear seats out.

 

[ForceIndia]

Dynacup is low, light, fooking loud

[Hazza]

[hughski]

[Fred@BTM]

[f0xy]

Cherrybomb?

 

[Fred@BTM]

[f0xy]

Was going to say sounds like its blowing lol, that would explain it!
