weird
It's due another corner weighting after the next set of mods
I might try a visit to a local weigh bridge

My local weigh bridge has a +/- 20kg uncertainty. Might be better to wait for the corner weighting?

I was expecting it to be around 1240

I'm hoping to get another 50kg's knocked off mine in the near future, can't see it being cheap though

Let me know where you go I may pop along and get mine checked out at the same time

Chris - that did occur to me
Redun - if yours is 1200 kg mine has got to be close or lower.

Mike - I reckon they must be close, you've got lighter wheels and rad&fan but i've got a decat, no supercharger, no toolkit etc.

I think you guys are dreaming.

I have spent a small fortune on parts to loose weight and at last count I had only managed ~ 90kg.

There isn't much more I can do without spending megabucks or removing the hood and aircon, which I am not prepared to do .... yet.

Steven - I never expected my car to be that light, but corner weighting doesn't lie?

That doesn't make it handle or stop better though
