CEC weights?

stirring the hornets nest!!!

Just to confirm, SVA yesterday confirmed my Vauxhall XE engined locost as weighing 570kg all up with full fuel tank etc etc.

With 200hp that is 351hp per tonne...................

none too shoddy!!!

So much for heavy boat anchor engines!





Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion retro car restoration and tuning

git!! somebody had to beat it didn't they!

Guess my rather large stainless steel fuel tank is adding a bit, plus discs all round and heavy duty rear end.

I bet I can beat the lot of you, (sadly), mine weighed OVER 1000 K. Mind you has been on a bit of a diet since SVA, but still comes in at about 900 K. But then have got the heaviest boat anchor arround, Ray





To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy
