Inferno Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Paul could you weigh it anyways please? It would be nice to verify that some of the weights on that page are valid! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 as requested j-spec bonnet in my garage weighs 11kg or for oldys 24.2 pounds (without insulation), whether the 28 pounds listed above was with the insulation and a scoop i dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inferno Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Thanks Paul - you're a legend :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 Also just weighted my one (jspec without insulation) 11kg too The US specs didn't have the scoop so the UK one must weight even more than 28 pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 How ultra light are you going Darryl? All this talk of weight makes me think your project will be on as strict a diet as you have been (and suceeded at..... you're now lighter then me!!)

Homer Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 haha, I'm not aiming for an ultra lightweight car (It's an aerotop after all!), but no harm in shaving a few pounds here and there It looks like the engine will be the biggest weight saver, possily losing 100-120kg once the looms, IC, pipework, etc are taken into account. Also Dude moved the battery to the boot so again will help with weight distribution, in theory it should be 50/50 once complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
