100 kgs?
120?
Anyone know? To the nearest 10kg will do.

I have no idea, so my quick mafs is paused...

Bare engine (block, head and sump) is about 110kg from memory when I've put them on pallets before

What about the gearbox/diff? 50kgs?
What does the exhaust weigh? 30kgs?

Nothing too exciting, just trying to work out how the rolling chassis weights of my i3s and my 172 Cup compare.

Box is a bit less than that, I'd say about 35-40kg

Although it feels like 900kg when you're holding it up with 1 arm whilst trying to jiggle the flywheel to line up the f**king splines!

Just weighed my spare box in the garage and it’s 36.8kg. It has some gear juice and half a drive shaft in it

from the pure motorsport website...

the system with no centre silencer, and decat weighs just 9.92 kg saving 10.6kg over standard.
