Weight

[Mitchy]

When talking about the weight of the car is the clio range quoted with or without driver??

Ie the 182 weight of 1100? Is that car+driver or just car??

My previous cars have all been just car, but my new car is quoted with driver

 

[MikeC]

usually its a dry weight isnt it? No driver, no liquids/fluids?

 

[Daipac]

Surely it must be without driver as people do not weigh the same so I see no point in weighing it with driver. Strange.

 

[Mitchy]

It normally is.

My MG/CTR and scooby have all been kerb weights (1090/1204/1235). The LCR is fairly hefty at 1376kg but this is with driver.

Confused

Does it not tell you in your clio manual?

Exactly what I was thinking.....

Average weight is 12 stone. Surely theyd just plop that onto top (76kg)

Its just my new car is quoted with driver sat in seat, but all other cars ive owned its just the kerb weight (no driver)

Mentions nothing about with driver. Why would it? Its pointless.

For the record my manual says my 172 is 1035 kg. Kerb Weight.

Its not that pointless mate as a car needs someone sat in it to drive it. (Real driving weight)

Ie...an addition to the weight which affects performance ie (PWR)

So a 1035kg car with a 75kg driver =1110kg

My thoughts were exactly the same mate, but reading through my manual (LCR) the daft spanish lot are quoting car+driver which leads to the hefty 1376kg the Leon is quoted at.

It must just be SEAT the bunch of numptys as all my previous cars were quoted as kerb weight (no driver)

Just seems a bit silly to me. No two people weight exactly the same and people who are bothered how much their car weighs (i.e. us!!) would know that the true weight is the car plus our weight - Not what it says in the manual.

You got a chip in that thing yet?? How you finding it so far??

 

[Neil82]

Mitchy im pretty sure the 1376 kg is the kerb weight (not including driver)

 

[Mitchy]

Just read through the book mate, definitely with driver. Which would mean a weight of 1300kg (kerb)

Still quite hefty when compared to a clio but when you take into account CTR weight (1204) is without driver then it makes it a bit closer when driver added (Avg 76kg) (1376/1280...LCR/CTR)

Still pondering whether to Revo/Jabba it. Cant decide on which remap as both claim roughly the same. Should be done by xmas though. The cars really nice though, inside and out. I like it a lot better than my scooby, much more refined, with better equipment and the brakes are so much better than the scooby 2 piston.

Your dads got 1 hasnt he Neil? Can you check his book, just to make sure please.

 

[Neil82]

Yeah Ill have a look, before you go ahead with revo post on http://www.seatenthusiasts.co.ukwww.seatenthusiasts.co.uk and ask their thoughts (seem to be a fare few of them have had issues with Revo)

 

[Mitchy]

Heard theres a 140mph barrier that most revo owners seem to get stuck at. However hippychick from here has seen 162mph on GPS with her revo chip. I think roamer can confirm this.

The cars already got exhaust/filter so ill probably go the jabba route as this remap takes into account mods where the revo remap is generic. However the revo comes with a dongle where you can plug+ play with the settings. Dont know yet

 

[Neil82]

Jaba comes with a boost controller.
