does anyone know roughly how heavy the above is

either xr or cossie just want a rough estimate

thanks

 

4x4 Cossie: 1,280 kg kerb weight

 

If it has the leathers then it weighs even more

 

so if i was to strip it out then

with 1 seat and harness what do u think it could be

 

how can a cossie weigh 1280kg? or is that just out of a book.my xr 4x4 with me in it and half a tank of fuel weighed 1440kg on the weigh bridge at work.and that was a gls so no abs or rear electric windows or electric roof.

 

 

Could be that my book is wrong "The Cosworth Fords - by Jeremy Walton"....

This is what it shows:

 

2.9 XR4x4 (hatchback) is quoted at 1290kg kerbweight

According to the UK Construction and Use Regulations 1986, kerbweight is the "weight of the vehicle as it leaves the manufacturer with full fuel, adequate lubricants and water, standard tools and equipment but no driver, occupants or load".

 

so even there a discrepancy of 10kgs - give it another 10 publications and it will be under a ton !!

 

Mark, the 1290kg is for XR4x4
I agree with Doug, the figure I've seen officially quoted for 4x4 Saph is 1280kg..

not saying these are neccesarily actually correct in 'real world' terms, but they are the published kerbweight figures.

 

the XR4x4 has a dirty great V6 2.8/2.9 in it though

so the cos should be lighter than that id say.. prolly not a lot though ?

 

have you tried lifting a 200 block? mine was a tt though so probably a bit heavier than standard.my mate did this with an xr2 and managed to take 85kilos out of it before putting two bucket seats in it.so you might get 140-160kilos out of a cos.my power to weight was 180 bhp?ton with 260bhp.so to crack 200 per ton you might need about 300bhp to start with?
