I had mine weighed at the Redline shoot, 1045kg iirc.

I've removed the rear seats, and had at least 1/2 tank of fuel.

how much you charge fred? just weight no fancy stuff lol

 

[Fred@BTM]

a beer token or 2, only takes 10min to get the stuff setup, drive on, drive off - done! the joys of wireless scales

(note corner weighting ie f**king about with it costs more, labour time *****ing about)

 

[Tom@JMS]

Our ph2 172, with Composite Seats, no rear seats, no airbags, anti vibration block or tar based sound deadening, with half a tank of fuel, the spare turini & tool kit and two people on board (weighing 85kg & 68kg - my athletic figure ) weighed in on the local weigh bridge at 1180kg.

The weighbridge has an accuracy of +/- 20kg.

So without people and tool kit/spare wheel (aprox 25kg?) it is almost bang on a 1000kg with about 25L of fuel on board.

900kg for my mk1, rearseats removed , no spare or cage, no std seatbelts, tar and foam under carpet removed. few lighter bits in the bay like manifold and coilovers etc also get leggeras.
could get it even lighter but its my daily drive so needs creature comforts (sort of) lol
(btw, mk1 weigh 1000kg as std so its lost 100kg )

[Ash - Clio GTT]

mark 1 clio 16v with
1.4 turbo C1J engine
stripped out with 2 cobra imola kevlar seats
no spare wheel

810kg, 200bhp

could have lost more weight by ditching electric windows, getting tar out etc etc but was an animal as it was.

 

[marinemackay2003]
