michael Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 OK, I win, the weight of all this tension must have pushed it close to my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderpigcity Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Right, here you go, something to do if your bored, who can guess the weight of Steve Linton's stripped out track Supra? Steve will be taking it to be weighed in the next week. Car has been stripped of: ABS, aircon, heater system, bits of the dash, all interior apart from main dash, carbon bootlid with perspex rear screen, more details of the car can be found here http://garagewhifbitz.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=53&Itemid=57 My guess is 1370kg Prize for the winner is a ride in the said car at a test session 1175kg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveL Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Ok guys.... firstly apologies it took so long! The car has been weighed - Without me or fuel she came in at 1338kg Half a tank of fuel (35 litres) = 31kg (based on 0.9kg/litre) .... so for the purpose of this little fun competiton the winner would be the one closest to 1369kg ... so looking through the thread, the winners are : GrahamC and marbleapple who guessed 1368kg Considering we haven't sorted out the doors/perspex for side windows yet I reckon we should be able to just dip below 1300kg without fuel. (theres also other stuff that could still come out - wiring loom and some interior metal) Which would be nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of dosh at the moment though unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleapple Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) 1369kg ... so looking through the thread, the winners are : GrahamC and marbleapple who guessed 1368kg I'd like to say it was skill but we all know that would be a joke. Noted that grahamC said it before me so he should have the title imo. (and I scare myself in a Supra, never mind getting on the track with someone else!)
