Yeah Trev as Tony doesn't have an engine hoist, he's too tight fisted to buy one!!! :rolls:

Also it means it's out of my way so I can do other things without tripping over it.

[Trev]

Ha, wasn't sure if you were doing a mock up or not, also is that a oil cooler on the passenger side?

[TRD ke70]

Yeah it's an oil cooler, it's not run off a standard 4age filer housing as those are only bypass oil coolers.

 

Still trying to work out which way it needs to face and find the right connectors for it.

Thanks Guys.

Still heaps to do, next big step is the carbon fiber door panels and the glass boot, bumpers and bonnet.

Then that'll be most of the big stuff done.

Well a very interesting night.

I managed to borrow some motorsport scales, thought it'd be interesting to see what it weighed.

 

797kg's with everything in it, and i mean everything!!! :yes:

What was surprising is the corner weights and the weight splits.

The car has the same weight splits as the old car, 51/49. :yes:

 

The picture is of the scales, it shows in POUNDS, so if want to check it, please do!!

 

The old car weighed 880 kg's, so we have loss 80kg's out of the car and it has a heavier engine. :hmm:

[LittleRedSpirit]

That is amazing. This car will fly.

 

Where can I get some scales like that?

[beerhead]

Very tidy, under 800kg is awesome. What do you reakon is making the rear right side a touch heavier?

[ke70dave]

far out that is cool!

 

wanna hang onto those scales untill saturday? ive always wondered how heavy mine is.

 

mine is currently in full "comfortable" street trim. (ie grosely overweight...)

Chris are you going to raise the rear right slightly to move the weight to the front left to accommodate for driver mass?

I knew I should of made a thread to get your car weighed when I was at signature, had a set to setup coilovers.

[TRD ke70]

Umm, the R/R is a little heavy, but it's quite difficult to get them perfect, but we'll do a final weigh on the car when finished and see if we can get it closer.

Generally it's pretty good.

 

Trev: we did look at that, but the co-driver is usually (sorry to all the co-drivers) heavier than the driver. :hmm:

It should be quite a weapon with 170hp and only 800kgs. :dance:

 

I still think there is more weight in the car to come out, so it could be lighter still!! :o

 

Sorry Dave, only had the scales for the night, they need to go back cause the guy use's them in his business.

[frasian]

tought build boys, loving it cannt wait to see the finished product :)

Totally forgot about the co driver, car has a very good balance.

 

It gets pretty tedious setting them up to suit the drivers weight so you got it fairly easy.
