[quote=FlyingDutchman]Sorry, one more question. I remember seeing a post about this but can’t find it back. How much weight does the K20SC add?

I had:

FA: 350 Kg
RA: 510 Kg

860 Kg

So what do I have now? I will put it on the scales as soon as I find some… [/quote]

Well this is interesting. Car was just weighted in at …

FA: 332.5 Kg
RA: 528 Kg

860.5 Kg

So I guess the K20SC add half a kilogram :slight_smile: . Can’t remember any other huge things I added or changed. New Radiator and brake upgrade should be about the same weight. New aluminum long range fuel tank was full.

So why is mine still 75kg heavier than Lotus stated?

The Edwards Boyz always add 60KG of lead under the seats to make certain they will always be faster! :slight_smile:

Same reason as every new model is 2 secs a lap quicker round Hethel. i.e. it’s bollox! :smiley:

Maybe the “new regime” will be more honest in their blurb? (Rhetorical question, so no debate needed :smiley: )

It’s the gold bar I hid in the front bay I forgot to charge you for! :angry:

It was put there by the Honda rice burner boys to slow me down to their speed :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
