Hellski Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hellski - how very dare you!!! Nope , it was built by Phil Newall and it has lots of carbon and leightweight bits on it - magenesium wheel and slicks for example - it only has one seat and isnt road legal BTW Sounds fantastic and I drooled over the sales ad when first listed I look forward to seeing it in the flesh James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KugaWestie Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 582Kg in full touring spec and with all the comfy luxuries of hood, screen doors, spare wheel, carpets and a full tank of fuel ETA: And 640kg with a driver Mine weighed in at 610Kg at IVA, with carpets, screen, RAC rollbar, spare wheel, jack and brace and a full tank of fuel So very similar to yours - is the 1.6 engine really over 20kgs lighter than the 1.8? The driver certainly is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver certainly is it's the drivetrain as a whole which makes the difference. Smaller and lighter engine, smaller diameter prop, 6.5" CW diff as opposed to 7" and smaller diameter front brakes.

Deako Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 My Mazda SDV 1800 was 570kg on IVA paperwork. I'd expect it to be marginally lighter now, but not much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me wonder whether all the IVA scales are accurate I dont believe your car would be 40kg lighter than mine was at IVA, very similar builds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes me wonder whether all the IVA scales are accurate I dont believe your car would be 40kg lighter than mine was at IVA, very similar builds If it was weighed the same as mine was at SVA then they only weigh one axle at a time. The car is inclined on the scale so the result is skewed slightly from it's true figure. mine weighed 420kg at SVA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishcake Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) You can't always go on the weight of the car at IVA as they just weigh each axle weight then add them together, thats one of the reasons we get such a big variation in claimed car weights When I had one of my previous kit cars SVA'ed, it weighed 447kgs, but when it was actually weighed with all four wheels of the ground, it was infact 485kgs. oop's typed too slow Edited April 9, 2014 by Fishcake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deako Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'll get it to a weigh bridge at some stage for a more accurate weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexander72 Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Ditto - I must have the heaviest cross flow in the world - went out once with a mate who is 18 stone to my 16 stone - bottomed out quite a bit….. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
