Anyone know the weight of a series 2 turbo?

 

I live in france, i don't know the word but on "my grey card" the weight is 980kg ~2150lbs

on the balance of the french MOT: 1007kg ~2215lbs

 

is it standard interior ect?

 

980 is book figure

 

is 200kg alot to give away in weight terms? say down the qtr mile?

anyone know how to work out power to weight?

 

S2 RST:

- Carpets removed
- Sound deadening removed
- rear seats removed
- center console removed
- spare wheel and jack removed

--> 910 kg

 

i dont actually want sums ect just a ruff guide

for example: Say is 100kg less on a car about the same as having a extra 20bhp on a engine?

anyone one know realistic figures?

 

Well, let's just try it this way:

now 100 kg less:

Now we can work out how much hp we need to achieve the same kg/hp with a car that weighs 1000 kg.

So in that case saving 100 kg is about the same as having additional 15 hp.

 

Yeh thats quality peter

 

Know do you know the wight of afew other cars? or where i can look them up?

1. Mk2 astra gte
2. Nova
3 corsa
4. wrx impreza

 

A Nova GSI should weigh around 870 kg's.

The recent Subaru WRX (6-speed-gearbox) weighs 1495 kg, however you'll have to take away at least 75 kg's from that. There has been a EU law since the middle of the nineties which requires that they include the weight of the driver and some petrol in the tank in those figures.

What is the Astra MkII? We have different names for them here. Is it the one from the eighties aka Kadett E?

this shape

 

Ah OK. Between 965 and 985 for GSI 8V's, between 1040 and 1060 for 16V's

 

 

Sorry BTW, I think it was called GTE over there, not GSI like here.

 

we have gsi's aswell but on later Astra's and Nova's

 

think mines weigh in at 800-850

 

just race em and win .

 

Mine should be about 800kg when finished
