Coxxy_94GT Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I'v been lookin about and I've only come across a few answers and they are around 750kg ? Is that really the sort of figue these weigh stripped ? Quote
TimD Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 (edited) Mine minus doors, interior wiring loom and fuel tank weighed 728kgs I think we weighed the doors with glass, window motors, etc at ~25kgs each, wiring loom will be a couple of kilos, maybe less there's not a lot of it left. I think 750 is achievable, wouldn't want to be used much on the road at that weight though. I've not weighed mine since I replaced the glass with plastics, there is also scope to replace panels with fiberglass ones, such as the front wings, bonnet and rear hatch. They are a light car, wouldn't want to have a big crash in one that's for sure. Edited October 15, 2015 by TimD Quote
Coxxy_94GT Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 Oh fair one . I was just curious becuase i knew they were light but 750 kg is pretty darn light ! Yeah id never want to crash one i bet they'd be horrendous Quote
morgey Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I think the on the road weight is around 840-860kgs area. Sunroof aircon eleccy mirrors etc all add weight. You might get a poverty spec one down to the 800kgs from factory. But as above with a diet. Then you can go extreme, i think one of the drag guys was around the 700 mark back in the day. Quote
Coxxy_94GT Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 Dam . Thats mad , bet that thing feels like a go cart Yeah thats why i thought 750 was low because i knew stamdard they were around the 860 mark . Guess 750 isnt that low then when you consider 700kg! Quote
morgey Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Yeah youd probably be looking at around 800 most the time but with some effort you could get lower. sound deadening can weight quite a lot, Decent lightweight alloys, I've saved 5kgs a wheel from that alone!The smaller things seats, steering wheel, manual windows or perspex instead of electric. Manual mirrors, Radio/speakers. Abs system, aircon, coilovers weight less than stock. Exhaust. Blah blah Quote
Coxxy_94GT Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 Yeah fair one . Cheers for the reply bud anyway should hopefully be picking my new gt up in a couple weeks Quote
Amjad Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Nightspirit got his into the 7**s back in the day I think Quote
Cattanach Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Yeah pretty sure they're 860kgsOnce you remove aircon, spare wheel, fit lighter wheels, lighter exhaust, remove the cat..Probs down to around 800/810kgsWhich is pretty light to be fair Quote
lukEp Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Electric mirrors weight loads compared to the manual ones. Quote
daniel_g Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 Really does depend how far you wanna go, also bear in mind some mods you do will add a bit of weight, like some of the turbo kits are pretty heavy, cages, loads of braces, things like evo recaros are heavy compared to GT seats.So it really pays to strip a lot of shit out.My 85 sits at 880kg (with 4wd system), so im pretty chuffed with that for now.
