Hi chris

Did the cars you weighed have full tanks of fuel?

I took mine to a mates place of work today and put it on a weigh bridge and it came out at a straight 600kg but i had a full tank,fully carpeted including boot area a boot box in ally with lid and i have what Mk discribe as the half race roll cage with diagonal and my cage is welded it onto plates owe and i forgot and left my helmet on the seat!!
Even so i thought that was quite heavy

Cheers

It would be nice to see some of the lighter kits being weighed. Especially the ones which claim to be sub 440kg.
