Fair enough,

I thought with the running gear , aircon etc it would of been a fair bit more.

Last time i went on a weigh bridge it was quite abit more..... maybe i should find somewhere where the bloke working there didnt look in two directions at once lol

so im guessing the 500's heavier due to the lower spoiler and the extra flap or lighter due to the longer cutout and middle of the top section of the bumper cutout

Now the question is how light can i go without reducing strength

boost mad

iTrader: (8)

Dont forget it has the battery tray cut, so that would make it alittle lighter

good point but then it has a bigger turbo and extra plenum and rail etc and then diffrent splitter, and then the alternator drop down bracket

My standard 2wd weighed 1220kg on the local weighbridge ( accurate to +/- 15kg ) with a stainless exhaust on and standard wheels and about 1/4 tank
"Autocar" test 2wd one was 1206kg kerb
"Motor" test 2wd one was 1240kg

"Autocar" test 4wd was 1305kg kerb

did he have pashionate eyes?
they kept looking at each other!

just mad my bhp per ton alot better as i had been working on 2wd@1400kgs for some reason

Mike1

The Autocar test 4wd had a manual sunroof and no aircon - was a G-plate. Your wheels might add a couple of kilos at each corner depending on spec

They were kahns, square ones at that lol

I think they must of wanted a divorce as they were looking away from each other. Ones was looking at me and the other at a computer screen

i need to weigh mine, my mates got a weigh bridge on his farm, i always thought sierras were heavy but thet are not really, my old mk2 seat leon was 1400kg with a splash of fuel in it.

Mike1

Yes, they don't have the stiffening, sound/crah protection of newer cars.

Also have a newish Cooper S with a sunroof/aircon/heated leather... and that is 20kg heavier than the Sapphire
