clubstylus

Was asked a while back, how much my Stylus weighed.

Just got around to getting it done on the local council weigh bridge.

She weighed in at 610 Kgs with half a tank of fuel & toolbox in the boot,
which is about 30/40 up on the expected (hoped for ?!) 575 ish.

That's for a aeroscreened Zetec powered car, 170 BHP = 280 BHP/Tonne
but better than my original SVA build of Fiat Twin Cam
640 Kgs, 120 BHP = 190 BHP /Tonne

Think Rob's car is more like 400 BHP/Tonne, scary !!

Anybody else put theirs on the scales ??

i wish mine was that light, i will be luck to keep it under 700. if rob corner weighs mine, am i right in thinking we will know the overall weight?

Cool... 400 FLHP in 700 KGS = 570 BHP/Tonne.
Basically twice the power to weight of my car.

Hope you can keep it on the blackstuff !!

it wont be that much to start with, i am going for the dyno session on thursday, i am aiming high at 300 flwhp but i reckon i should see 260 - 270 on the stock turbo. That will give me the chance to sort the suspension and brakes, one i am happy with that, everything is in place for a bigger turbo and i could go much higher but like they say "power is nothing without control" or traction so i will see how it goes. Fingers crossed it will survive the dyno session.

hi folks that weights are not too bad, when i svad my stylus v8 it was with a windscreen full interior and a full tank o fuel as requested and on the scales it weighed 666kgs so got nicknamed the beast. .but had to phone pete about axle weights for sva to pass it as it didnt add up on petes previous paperwork but one amended fax cured that to test centre!pity im selling it got a new kit
