How much does yours weigh
I was looking at my brake performance data sheet that was issued at sva and noticed that it shows axle weights. I must say i was a little dissapointed
at the weight of my car (full tank of fuel no driver) 640kg on the up side the front/rear weight balance minus driver was 52/48 %, and with driver was
49/51% any other avon owners know their car weights. Is mine heavy?

it sounds like an honest weight to me .lots of bull about weights from most car manufacturers and kit makers are no exeption most bec,s are around
the 500kg mark and car engined sevens 550-700 depending on engine type. il sit back and wait for the barrage of superlight owners to respond now

Mine weighed 540kg at my local weighbridge on its first journey. That was with a full tank of fuel and a boot FULL of tools. I couldn't get
breakdown cover pre-SVA and I didn't want to break down on the way to the MOT station.

Our Indyblade was 450kg at SVA, but not sure how accurate that would be, I assume it must be fairly close.

Mines a real lightweight then, SVA put it at 1016kg,  , but then it does drag around a 2.9i, spare wheel, screen, and a boot full of tools. But by
f**k it really goes.  Ray.

DOn't know weight of mine at the mo', super light weight, no engine, no gearbox, no seats, no drive shafts, no calipers, no wiring, no
wheels or tyres and no seats. I geuss about 350 kg.
But its getting there, sorting out loom and and pickling rear hubs at the mo.
Oh and tax man paid so no planning out spare cash.

You know that one of the figures on there includes 150KG for 2 occupants?
I was a little concerned when mine appeared to be 800Kgs!!!! But taking off that 150Kg made it seem a little better!
Cheers,
James
