Hi guys,

Sow its a bit on the heavy side things wich are included:

- Stainless steel petrol tank
- Stainless steel water bottle
- Steel floor (velocity chasis)
- 15Kg transmission box (for VFR output)
- Reverse starter motor (2Kg)
- Car battery (35Ah)
- Cobra roadster seats
- Copper radiator (not alloy)

Included:
- Wilwoods on the front
- Carbon dash
- alloy sidepanels
- aloy tunnel covers
- 15inch rims (195/45 tyres)

Anyway it will have 3 times the horses as my Corsa (on same weight) sow i dont car very much

Regards,

Tks

Sh*te... your'e a TIDDLER...
My Viento weighs in at 840Kgs empty.

They you add me and my 19 yr old boy.. That adds another 254 Kg's. Thats One THIRD the weight of the car AGAIN. Making the rolling car over a TON at 1094 Kgs.

Pah!... TIDDLERS!...

Wait a Minute.... Think of the Performance incease I could get if I kicked my boy out, and lost 8 stones. Big performance increase, AND save money, by eating less, and no extra stress on the engine by unnecessary Tuning

Think that need a diet, i know lighter pinto powered cars

I am whats more commonly known as a BFB or a BFUB by some...

and I still cared about the weight of my car to a point!

Mine weighs in at 449kilos with 7 litres of fuel (and obv water/oil).

and yes, I am on a (tiny bit) of a diet!

Im confused as too where all that weight came from, have you checked it on any other scales?

Its a BEC as well, which freaks me out because I was aiming to have my CEC weighing in a bit lower than that! ( Aluminium engine and tranny by the way, im not crazy )

How much do your wheels weigh do you think?

-Josh

It's all that stainless steel that's making it fat.

Mate, are you sue that the scales you used are in calibration??

My Hayabusa Velocity comes in under 500Kg's and there's not much difference in spec between the two - I have an alloy tank and a bike battery and stuff but I too have a steel floor and cobra seats, but I don't have wilwood calipers or anything...
