brumster 135 1 Cars Posted February 12, 2010 Weighed the car on proper corner weight scales; 910Kg all-in. Don't have the splits handy, but that is :- 1.6 non-sunny gti shell, welded-in 6pt cage, additional strengthening plates in various places, seam welded, iron-block S16 (trimmed engine mount; TB's), 5sp box, carbon bonnet, stripped interior but standard dash, lightened bootlid, spare wheel, 1/4 tank fuel, plus all the related stage safety gear (two extinguishers, swirl pot, etc). Sump guard was off it at the time, and no bodies in it either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JRL 14 1 Cars Posted March 20, 2010 mate that is brilliant people consider a sub 1000kg car light but a 700kg car is feather light.

badj 0 Posted March 20, 2010 mate that is brilliant people consider a sub 1000kg car light but a 700kg car is feather light. I have stripped the rear of mine leaving the cockpit as standard I have not driven it yet but today I cleaning it inside I leant on the rear panel and it rolled forward so effortlessly I still have some removing to do, and could still replace the glass and swap for glassfibre bonnet and hatch, seats that would be lighter than standard (not hard) etc. but i still have bits to put on, including the engine. I'm hoping I could get the weight to 800kg with a 1.6 8v in it. if that were the case, then it would have the same power/weight ratio as an E36 BMW 328i. in theory anyway... which would be nice.

JRL 14 1 Cars Posted March 20, 2010 yep power to weight gaining and saving is quite addictive dont you think? I am going to take my bits down to the scrappy and weigh them. I have a smart roadster coupe fanstastic little car i use everyday handles really well better than any pug i have owned it weighs 800kg or less the engine weighs less than me but kicks out 101 bhp and still gives me 50+ mpg.

welshpug 1,657 Posted March 26, 2010 Stu, I found earlier on 306gti6.com that a 306 beam packaged on a pallet is about 65, a 205 beam wont weigh a massive amount less. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sobaru' 0 Posted June 26, 2010 So is anybody using the C5 lightweight rims with success and are they easy to find? Could you fit 205/50 tyers on these rims? Are steel rims from a 307 or a 406 any lighter then the standard speedlines? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swordfish210 20 Posted July 9, 2010 So is anybody using the C5 lightweight rims with success and are they easy to find? Could you fit 205/50 tyers on these rims? Are steel rims from a 307 or a 406 any lighter then the standard speedlines? I'm using them, i bought them new from Citroen. I much prefer them to the standard speedline wheels, the car feels great when i'm using them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
