Weights
Come on everybody this could be a good idea, ( Just read it off your MAC certificate!!!???) you can quote more than the engine and weight
,axle/diff,gearbox, BEC with or without reverse box.
Are there any other resources for engine weights(pinto,cvh,xflow,vauxhall,'k' series,rover v8,ford v6,ford cosworth.massey ferguson
tractor!!!)

car weights
MK indy Vauxhall 2l xe engine, 6 gallons petrol and myself- 580kgs.
Since SVA i've added screen (perspex) and a few other bits n bobs so it could be couple of kgs heavier

how is it that the BECs seem to weigh around 200kgs less when the engine surely isnt THAT much lighter than a car engine?

I would have thought engine and gearbox difference would have been around 80-90 kg. Suspect bke eng cars built with a very close eye on weight.

tyres vs wheels
interesting to see the weights of various tyres and wheels - the tyres seem to have the same kind of range as the wheels listed. Admittedly the wheels
are all at the lightweight end of the spectrum but I'm kinda surprised the tyres are that heavy.
