Had the Nova on a weigh bridge last night too. My normal running weight (half a tank of fuel, few litres of oil and water in the 'boot') is:

830kg

Could be better but could be a lot worse considering how much welding and rollcage tubing that has gone into it!

Fattie.

yes youre strengthened, caged, big block'd... but poly windows, not much dash; very stripped out, f/g bonnet n boot.. evens it out a bit..?

Half polys, electric windows, most of a dashboard, all metal panels apart from bonnet and plenty of filler lol So 830kg isn't too bad.

Thats where my standard cooler is located, seams good to me, lol at the split inlet to tb pipe, thats what also happened to mine and gave me running probs, i forgot all about it! doh!

As for the car's weight, is that with no drive and 1/2 tank fuel?
Mine is 800kg bang no driver 1/2 tank FG boot.

Scott

Fuel alone will be 30kg +/- at a rough guess.
