I put my car through IVA this week...Sylva J15 with a 1.7 Puma engine. It came out with a full tank of fuel at around 500kgs, which surprised me to be honest..in a good way of course.

638kg, carrying spare wheel, full tank, +10ltr can, 5ltr water can, small toolkit and me. Not sprint weight, more of a cruiser.

515kg with full rollcage
1300 crossflow
1/2 tank petrol

rodgling - 12/9/14 at 08:42 AM

About 720 kg, mostly thanks to a heavy engine and correspondingly large / strong chassis and diff to handle the power. Goes well though.

700kgs with full tanks at SVA, built for comfort!

Some of these numbers are amazing. My Phoenix is 610Kg is 1/2 tank of fuel (9 Gall tank). Mind you the bodywork has been on there for almost 20 years so it is thick fibreglass.
