Now, to try and help guess the right answer here I'll summarise some of the car: Standard 16vt weighs 1320KG 16v N/A converted to 16vt Compomotive 17" alloys No rear seats / trim Sound deadening removed Full rollcage FMIC Custom exhaust manifold Big turbo 3" exhaust Carelli seats So, with that in mind, what do you think the car weighs? For a bonus point, what does the front and rear weigh? Originally Posted by Jonny - After being taken out at Spa Your car is Usain Bolt with wellies

I doubt it is much less than standard, the rear seats don't weigh much, Carelli seats are probably the same as standard but other items removed should compensate for the rollcage and other go faster items.

Front is 880kg and rear is 470kg I'm surprised that the 66/34 weight distribution hasn't changed much - I expected a full cage to put a fair bit more weight over the rear
