I can't find my figures anywhere (it was 6 years ago they were done ), but luckily I have a good memory, it was a 55/45 front biased weight distribution and pretty even side to side with a few % more on the offside than nearside (without driver). Obviously this means that one-up it is imbalanced towards the offside, but normally I have a passenger (and being a little 75kg runt, they are normally heavier than me to help balance things up). HOWEVER, this is probaly different now, as I have added more weight to the front in the form of bigger brakes and heavier cooling system, so I would imagine that the distribution is even more front biased now.

The car is set up so it is very neutral (how I like it). If you go in to a corner too fast, it will understeer, but a brief lift of the throttle tucks the nose in. Also in slower corners, you can edge the rear out . It's just completely predictable with no nasty traits .
