Howmany KG's

[Rik178m]

Anyone weighed their roadster yet? Pref fully built weight. Just wondering how OCD I have to be on weight saving.

i,m aiming for 540kgs without me sat in it with half a tank of fuel ( 2 & half gallons), tho i only weigh 70kgs so it should be quite quick off the line

andy

ps... i believe Spud,s car weighs 520 kgs on the road

If I remember correctly mine came out at 680kg
That is with a full tank of fuel 35ltrs

I used 2mm thick tubing on the chassis, and didn't realy have any
thoughts on weight saving.
So at 680kg I'm quite happy.
Mind you when I sit in it the weight goes up a bit,
I could probably make 2 of Andy

The car still goes liks sh1t of a shiny shovel.....

Just had my car on the corner scales.. it has a dry-sumped 2 litre turbo 3sgte motor, Altezza 6 speed box, Subaru LSD. With 30 litres of fuel it weighs 675kg.

With me in it, the corners are LF : 174, RF : 175
LR : 196, RR : 207

Pretty happy with that, with 10 litres of gas (track day) it makes the front 48%, rear 52%.

I would say thats more realistic for a roadster. Some are showing the weights from the rolling road brake test which are miles out of bed. At 675kg`s that is still a f@@k of a power to weight ratio and with nearly 50/50 weight distribution should handle pretty good

My bec car was 510 kg with a full tank of fuel, that was true weight on corner scales. I don't believe in going by power to weight ratios, a car weighing 5 tonnes and having 5000000 bhp aint going to handle but would have a good power to weight ratio.
