not many decent pictures as i was in the car while they adjusted
it was out of balance by quite some way! theres 75kg more over the drivers front before i sat in it and the rears were out as well
they have now adjusted so when i am sat in the car its perfectly balanced over the front 50/50 split over the front wheels and 60-40 from front to rear!!!
im happy with her weight 808kg with half tank of fuel was sub 800 until i added my new battery and bigger pre rad
not bad considering all the extra fluid i carry etc with the chargecooler system
very happy with the improvements made drives alot better :thumb::thumb::thumb:
I dont think it would make any difference if it was 808kg or 1200kg tbh! lol
With 440 bhp the more weight the better!
lollollollollollollollollol your probably right more structural weight being added in 2 weeks :)Quote:

As its been up for "Breaking" about 5 times, yet you still have it, and drive it? lol
I couldnt part with it myself, so just wondering?
its for sale at the right price, but i was hoping to gain some interest in the main bits but as before no body will part with the cash!!! so i continue to drive it and enjoy it :)Quote:

Quite light that is, about the same as mine.
Mine was 883kg with the mot tester in it iirc.
Do they add weights to the car or try and move bits around?
its all done via the coilovers they increase and decrese pressure on each corner to shift the weightQuote:
