Had the car weighed on saturday
1351 kgs with a pipettes worth of fuel in 
No weight reduction done and no ICE, just a headunit and std speakers.
Just though I'd let you know.

just finding my feet
why weigh a car with no fuel in it 
, it all well being light as fook but aint gonna go anywhere 
may as well weigh it with no suspension or fuel tank in it
i think all cars should be weighed with owner to get a idea of power to weight
mine and chips will be about 30bhp per ton then
max will be with the rocket car peeps

Well then, its simple really isn't it
I weigh 100kgs
A litre of fuel weighs 1kg, there or there abouts
What weight would you like it to be? I can then either a) stuff my face and get heavier or b)put some fuel in or c) both
If dry weight is good enough for the FIA, its good enough for me.

what do they know !!!!, we all know nothing counts unless its at brunters !!!!
get ya bathroom scales and drive to brunters then you can call in official
btw its a cool weight as ya have added alot of bigger heavy stuff to it
remove the brakes and fit my 4 pot calipers and ill take them heavy things off ya as a straight swop
ill be round after 5pm with me tool box
seriously i do think that weights of the car anbd drive is important
infact what about a r/r day and also a weight day too, measr the total power to wieght
what ya think, would be cool wouldnt it

When i met Paul and central day i was waiting to run and clocked this fookin unit coming towards me i was like..errrrrr
Then noticed his car and reconised it....next thing he introduced himself...
when he shook my hand it was twice the size of mine.....
Wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of him though, But was very down to earth..seem a top chap

Thanks Smit, good to meet you too. 100kgGareth - I didn't know the exact density of fuel of the top of my head so used water
I've just looked it up on a random website.......737kg/m3 so your 790 is closer than mine
And just for your data bank diesel is between 820-950 depending on grade.
