Hi all,
Gaz is home for the weekend , so we thought we would pass the time and weigh the LOCOST.
Any of you care to hazard a guess before we post the result?
The car is:
+4 stainless chassis
ally body
2lt lotus 907 lump with getrag box
Sierra IRS based back end
Spare wheel mounted on the back
all fluids inc half a tank of fuel.
No windscreen fitted yet but there is a pencil on the bonnet (blunt)
so what do you think?
Paul and GAZ
620kgs?
What do I win?
Geoff
if its anything like the 'guess the number of sweets in the jar' game, surely the winer wins the car?
768kg!
pick a number off the top of my head cos i don't have a clue so.....
595kg?
john
What is the interior like? Carpeted with upholstered seats or spartan racer.
If carpeted I would say 680, if not around 660.
Oh yeah, yours is all nicely interiored up with all posh panels and stuff isnt it......
Hmm my 620 might be a shade low - can I pay another 20p and have another go?

650kgs
I reckon they're all too heavy so far. I'd guess at something around 590-600 kgs.

Help yourself.

Paul and GAZ
6 and a 4 and a 8 - in any order
685kg with you and Gaz in it.
643.7kg

633kg
610 kgs.
David
Right, time to reveal all.
The corners as follows:
[159]------ rear ------[165]
[148]------front------[153]
That's a total of 625 Kgs
So that's 256 bhp/tonne.
Other than the positioning of the engine/gearbox well back, I've not really paid much attention to weight.
Well chuffed.
Well done Geoff for the very first post. Just 5 Kgs out.
Paul G & Gaz
