clubstylus

Does anyone know about how much a Stylus classic with Zetec/type9/live-axle/13"-wheels weights when it's finished? The old stylus classic demo car is stated at approx. 640kg, but is this correct (maybe old heavy roll bar, weather gear etc...) I'm going to put in the Fiberglass seats, without runners or anything.

It's regarding the build/purchase of a trailer, if I can keep the combination car/trailer under 750kg's it would be nice.

And does anyone know what the approx weight would be of a purpose build (esp. for the Stylus) trailer? Single unsprung(thr stylus has it's own) unbraked(?) axle.

The smallest trailer to do the job in UK is the minno which weighs 350kgs approx so even if you build a light weight Stylus at 550kgs you'll be well over your total target of 750kgs. Most road going Stylus's weigh 600 plus depending what's been put into the build. Mine had quite a thick and therefore heavy body so even after lots of work/light parts and general weight stripping , it still weighs 620 kgs(2lt zetec/T9 box/EscortM2 axle/15 '' x 7'' wheels/tyres. So it's nearly impossible to do , unless you can build a Stylus at 400kgs

Or a very light trailer
