Deanspoors Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Do you use 30% so you can tell yourself it's under 500kgs? Haha, just what was in the tank when I checked it. So with 30% fuel that would have mine about 495 with a cage ;-) I've got a roll cage too, but the carbon seats and lack of dry sump system keep it nice and light lots of carbon too. Think I'll go for power now, will be cheaper than losing any more weight. Quote
Terry Everall Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 You don't want to know what mine weighs with a full tank of fuel Quote
Andrew Posted May 12, 2016 Posted May 12, 2016 You don't want to know what mine weighs with a full tank of fuel I'd hazard a guess that a Zippo lighter carries more fuel though Terry.. Quote
DanDud Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 Looking at similar cars in the list wide, zetec, aero and there's a 67kg difference between them !!! Quote
pistonbroke Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 I'd hazard a guess that a Zippo lighter carries more fuel though Terry.. Seen him filling the tank with an eye dropper 2 Quote
Olliebeak Posted May 18, 2016 Author Posted May 18, 2016 Got an Odyssey battery and alloy bracket, haven't fitted them yet but should be a lot lighter than the huge 30 ah Halfrauds one on at the moment. Hoping that might get me down to 530-540kg. I have seen some cars with the battery mounted low down between the front wheels, what are the advantages, I presume handling? Passenger seat may be next to go, my Yorkie Terrier who usually accompanies me will have to sit on the floor. Mind you now I have the aeroscreen on he is happy to do so! Quote
CraigHew Posted May 18, 2016 Posted May 18, 2016 Well, there's another 3kg or so to be lost with the dog.... Quote
