Car weight

Finally got around to taking my car to the local weighbridge (A27 near Lancing roundabout)

Front 310 Kg
Rear 350 Kg
Total 660 Kg

This includes me and a full tank of petrol, so probably more like 550 Kg empty. So should probably go again when on fumes and pushing it over the ramp :lol:

No idea how this compares with others?

The Fury was 580kg at SVA with a x-flow, full tank & some tools.

Several of us had a Geo day and weigh-in at Boss racing a few years ago. Was really good.
Check out loads of car weights and the original thread here: http://southernkitcars.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5166&p=77857#p77856


My car was 628kg without driver, and 702kg with me sitting in it. The weight distribution (with me in) seemed pretty good...
50.4% : 49.6% FRONT:REAR.
48.5% : 51.6% LEFT:RIGHT.
50.9% CROSS WEIGHT

Since then I've fitted fibreglass seats so may have saved 10kg if I'm lucky. :)

This is what my car was when I weighed it last year with me in it
