[-=Charley]

53/47 weight distribution front/back

with a grand total of... 2212 lbs (with 1/2 tank of shitty gas)

-battery moved to back

-FRP hood

-stripped interior

almost 100lbs short of what I was expecting.

Very interesting - that's 1003kg's for you metric fans.

Only comparison I can think of is Moe's s14 powered m2 track car. Similar in as much as it has CF bonnet and boot lid and no sound proofing. Weight without driver, but don't know what fuel was on board, was 2150lbs/975kgs. Unfortunately no corner weights.

...you need one of dose rear trans/diff set-ups like that fancy car posted a few days back to get anywhere near 50/50

kant seem to find the thread or photos

yeah - except that car weighed over 200kgs more (if you're talking about the Paul Cain car). You could always put a sack of spuds in the boot ;-)

anyone know the stock weight distribution of a non-tii?

Here's a point of comparison, 71 2002 with 6 point cage, all steel panels, no side glass, gutted doors, no interior, 2 seats and partial dash, s/r tray removed, sidedraft m10 with c/r 5 speed, front coilovers, lightweight wheels, still street legal with lights, 1/3 tank of gas, battery in trunk, 2037 pounds, 56/44 split. Didn't seem to matter what we did, front weight was roughly 56% of total. Wondering if rear coilovers would help or not ?

My tii was 995kg with:

- fibreglass bonnet (hood)

- not much gas

- no spare tyre

- no interior

- roll cage

- race seats

- all glass and door trim

- 5 speed trans

That's quite light. How do you think rear coilovers would effect? You can't move weight distribution from front to rear with coilovers.

Well - except if they are very heavy :-)
