Thanks im just wondering if all the mods ive done add up to adding to much weight .When ever you put a car on gas or get an enginers certificate you have to get a weigh bridge certificate so i thought more people would know the weight of there cars .My car now weighs 100kg more after i have built it with no roof than it did before i started with the roof

So 1700 to 1800 full of fuel no fat asses or spares should be possible .Time to put the Girl on a diet, thats going to be hard though as it is more that 300kgs

thats with steel 15x10, 37 mtrs, 4 point cage (made from street sign poles :lol: )

i was pretty suprised my self.

i got a 50/50 weight as well and it was real close

front weighed about 1020 rear was 886

i guess that because my motor kisses the firewall and the front axle is forward about 4.5in

(and my ass is real fat)
