Weighed my S1

Thought you guys would be interested in this. I was quite shocked, expecting around 765kg but tallied up to a lardy 791kg. Last time she was weighed she had just over a half tank (26l) and came to 746. Roughly speaking it means the engine, gearbox and supercharger has cost me around 20 - 30 kilos. Still not massive but a notable jump. Cheers Craig

Doesn't make any sense to me...is there a typo?

Sorry lawrence, your quite right thats a def typo, should read 791. Should also point out that the cars no longer got a boot bag, liner, cat so thats also playing a part.

I weight the 340r with the K in it.

Full tank + my winter (heavy) wheel = 691

Empty tank and light weight wheel should work out below 650.

Will be interesting to see how much the honda has added.

PS that was without me in it

That basically means theres around 80 kilos between the s1 and the 340, same as carrying a whole other me.
Makes you wonder how on gods earth steve butts got his down to 680kg.

Dan got a 16 kilo increase and the charger weighs around ten kilos so be around the same as me. What is interesting is his front rights 15 kilos heavier than the left? can this not be taken out with nitrons?

ps weighed my S/C before it was fitted and it came out at 15kgs. Just weighed the original inlet manifold and it is 6kg, so a 9kg increase.

Craig

You had MMC disks on when it was weighed at Marks, so you have added 11kgs with your present steel disks.

What's important are the cross weights which are about right.
(LF+RR)/Total should equal 50%
