Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Nope. Mine in full touring mode with weather gear, spare wheel, jack, tool kit, good selection of spares plus a few cleaning bits and bobs is somewhere around the 720 kg mark, and I know mine isn’t the heaviest, either!

DonPeffers Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 I haven't got round to weighing my car but did lose 17kg by stopping the booze. 1 Quote
NigelO Posted September 25, 2018 Author Posted September 25, 2018 For what its worth, these are the corner weights, with me on board Fr L - 161kg Fr R - 154kg R L - 172kg R R - 202.5kg Total = 689.5kg Seems someone's maths is a bit off, as the sheet from ProComp mentions 696 in total. Taking my 81.5 off the total means I'm now at 608kg. Damn - I need to do something to save 9kg... I've just bought a carbon rear bulkhead panel, which I was going to put over the aluminium panel, but now I think I might look at removing the existing panel. Carbon cycle wings will save another 5kg or so, I reckon. Damn, this is flippin' addictive Quote
AdamR Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Cycle wings are light, less than a kilo each. Carbon panels approx half the weight of alloy for the same thickness. Quote
Kingster Posted September 25, 2018 Posted September 25, 2018 Alloy bellhousing and 3kg flywheel. Will cost you about £50 per kilo saved 1 Quote

Crash test dummy Posted September 26, 2018 Posted September 26, 2018 Here's something to aim for. Hillclimb car, XE, 4 speed sequential, full cage, on crossply slicks, not road legal. (so no lights etc). All fluids, ready to go. 1 Quote

My SEiW with XE, fully stripped down, without passenger seat nor extinguisher, and all the carbon available, was 570... Cant beleave there is 100 Kg on a set of crossply Vs toyos and 4 lights with the cables. Awesome. Quote

Carbon exhaust can? And a very careful build to achieve that very impressive figure! Makes my 500kg CEC with a cage look heavy and that's a sequential 5 speed and a 1600 x16xe Quote
