Hi Sean,
This figure is pretty much amassing! Well done.
May I ask some details…
Do you use plastic windows all around?
Have you lighten the doors, too?
Did you have two seats/harnesses when you weigh the car?
Thanks, but remember the car isn’t complete. I reckon all up it will be about 650kg. Should know by the end of next week.
To answer your questions, Yes I am using palstic windows all round, yes I am lightening the doors and no the 577kg weight was with just the drivers seat in.
Thanks for the reply Sean. Reason I am asking is that I worried too much about getting the weight of my car under or as close as possible to 700kg. I�ve lightened as much as possible my doors, currently building a light wiring harness, purchased a plastic windscreen (luckily haven�t install it yet), removed everything that is not necessary, and generally speaking done a very similar weight reduction job like you�ve done (from what I�ve seen in your other fantastic thread). Especially when I installed the full roll cage and the oil dry sump kit, I thought that I will reach the 700kg limit very difficult.
But now I believe it�s time to think seriously where is the best place to put the extra ballast!
Cheers,
George
