Weighed the cup

[kevo66]

Weighs in after part stripping at................


1162 Kilo with qurter tank fuel!!!!

Still has everything from the rear quarters forward so lots still to go incl the heavy aircon and compressor!! Encouraging start!!

 

[Šįk]

wer do u go to get cars weighed?

nice one tho! 38kg loss not bad!

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 172.26

 

[Tom@JMS]

mate with the work your doing you should put it all in a coherent project thread. Its much more useful then

 

[Christopher]

Still quite a porker though

I can't see you getting close to stripped Mk2 weight. But i guess that's obvious.

 

[kevo66]

Is that all??? Aww dammit! I thought they were 1240 std???

Still had quarter tank fuel, dunno what that weighs!!

You can go to a local weighbridge, normally for trucks. Sometimes you'll find them at a local dump.

Nope, not a chance mate!! But I have a genuine 200 and a bit BHP so if I can get near to 1000kg

 

[Fred@BTM]

a stripped 172 is about 980-1020kg (depending of fuel) off the top of my head

Not knocking it fella... it's a good result for pretty minor strippage.

I still need to see your car, since you didn't come to the meet :dapprove:

Anything more serious planned? Strip wise.

No mate I know, its sound!! those pesky wee 172s are light as hell!!

Yup, ft seats going, aircon going, more sound proofing, and maybe polycarb if I can be arsed!

^ you not seen his seats then?!

 

[kevo66]

^ you not seen his seats then?!

He hee!! NOt paid yet but yeah, they will sit nice!!!

 

[Dave Hester]

^^^^ if you have no friends you will only need one seat which will save a bit of weight but you will never get it to 1000kg without changing all windows to Perspex and get rid of the dash. Waste of time if you ask me

well evo specs them to be 1220kg, i just went off that their figure.

 

[scott1205]

[kevo66]

Ahh, gotcha!! Prob are then!! Lardy arse 197s lol!

 

[ForceIndia]

Polycarb is a waste of time on a road car IMO. Scratches wayyyyy to easily.

 

[maximinimus]

They are 1220 without aircon

Long way to go yet, cup racers are 1060kg unladen

 

[kevo66]

Polycarb is a waste of time on a road car IMO. Scratches wayyyyy to easily.

Aye Im thinking that, but would be rear quarters and rear screen, should be ok with that shouldnt I?!

They are 1220 without aircon

Ta mate so mine is roughly 1240 then as STD

 

[Dave Hester]

Why?? Nah, I need a seat for the mrs lol!!

cos your 197 is already losing £100 a month in depreciation so don't make things worse for yourself. Unless you plan on keeping it forever then please continue ripping it to bits ;0)

Aye I will pretty much have to keep it now mate, at least untill the finance is clear

 

[Šįk]

standard figurs to each version.
197 = 1240kg
197cup = 1220kg

 

[theduck]

78kg lost then! Thats massive!

We should weigh mine to compare it to!

p4ers, the aircon adds the extra weight back in!

oh and Hulk, dont like it dont post!

 

[kevo66]

197 = 1240kg
197cup = 1220kg

But mine has aircon which isnt STD on a cup so therefore prob was 1240

 

[Bazzon]

Polycarb is a waste of time on a road car IMO. Scratches wayyyyy to easily.

Not if they have the coating on like ours do:approve: Our rear one scratches easily due to not having the coating on it but our side ones have been good.

I would not put them on a road car though!
