@ 16valver, think the corrado weighs over 1,100kgs in standard form. Spent good bit of time in weight saving mode I recon the alloy block of the Honda engine helped nice bit aswell And this weight was taken taken off a professinal corner weight scales
Post 1 now updated with all info in the thread so far. I'm sure there's more on the forum - so add what information you know
Just checked the first post - good to now have it all in a list with the links. Think mine will now be heavier than it was before with the extra cage and turbo gubbins
i'll jump in, Mk2 Golf 20vT weighed in at 739kgs, without me in, but ready to race with all fluids i hope to get it down into the 600kgs range in 2010 with some carbon panels
Once was a MK2 Gti 8v Chromoly 6 point cage that extends to the front of the car, everything forward of the fire wall has been removed, Usual tar removal inside and out Sun roof removed, ali panel in replacement Lexan windows all round (except front screen) 1 Piece Fibreglass front end Spare wheel well removed Rear Bumper Removed Bogart Billetlight Wheels (not sure on the individual weight but you could carry all 4 at once) hopefully before the season starts i will have Carbon Doors, Tailgate and Roof and will have made a new rear axel out of chromoly, that should get me into the 600kg's ohh was weighted at the European Finals at Santa Pod on the FIA scales that weight the top fuel cars
All becomes clear! Do you have pics of the whole car? Shall we split it into a Members Motors thread? Quite an interesting one!
No, never got round to getting it weighed I will never know for sure, but I think it may be a bit heavier as I will have put more back in than I removed overall. I still have a lot I can lose through lighter panels. Even though the wings and boot are fibreglass, they are very heavy compared to other fibreglass/carbon panels I have seen. I hope to be just over the 800 mark but in very high 700's with new panels (eventually!). In the meantime, it will still be a much quicker car than it was - I hope!
Mk2 ibiza 16V - 961kg with half tank fuel so approx 940-950kg dry. Retains heater, full dash, electric windows and mirrors. Estimate 5kg coming out over winter (mainly the last of the unused wiring and more metal out of the front crossmember).
My Mk1 20vT came in at 895kg on Oultons scales a couple of weeks ago, pretty much full of fuel - I wasn't in it. Stripped interior - no carpet or tar, alloy cage Airbox/heater removed, still got full glass. I was a bit gutted tbh! [:^(] Holesaw at the ready!
ally when you saw my White rado at knockhill that was under 950, standard glass and panels, no powersteering etc and fully stripped. Been rebuilt again at the moment and am hoping for 910 with glass and underseal, so don't think 895 is beyond acheivably especially with an alloy block.
Weighed the Players Polo on the same scales on Saturday. The tank was brimmed. single skin fglass bonnet and tailgate, T45 cage, totally stripped, no wheel well, no bumpers, plastic windows, single Recaro kevlar SPG, ATS 8x13.. 730kg
Hi! Finally i've weighted my Mk3: Stripped 2.0 16v 5 doors sparco seats Stock wheels lightweight battery 8 points roll cage no fuel no driver 330kg 331kg 179kg 182kg 1022 kg Good result i think with no fiberglass at all :-)
Mk2 Scirocco, stripped, 2L 16v, no cage, no carpets, glass and soundeding still present: 720kg on a local weigh bridge!
