JohnK Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Does anyone know the corner weights of a stock car? I need the front passenger side weight. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I had all this detailed on the PC, from when i developed my suspension kits, but now I can't find it, I hope it's not got deleted I had my Skyline on the computer scales at the weekend, If I'd known I could have put a TT on them that's sat here waiting for an IC, whilst I had everything set up. I'd be guessing if I tried to remeber the figures, sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 Thanks anyway Chris, You wouldnt care to have a wild stab at it would you, I dont need them for anything technical. I just need to know if a skate I have can handle the front nearside on a damaged car that wont roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Well, if the car weighs 1600 kilos, and half is on the front, that's 800 on the front 2 wheels, so 400 per side, add some for more front weight bias and a safety margin, say 500 kilos per front corner. These are from the air figures, if you wanted Skyline ones I have those dancing round in my head... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 Cheers Chris, I was imagining more than that due to the dirty great engine over the axle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
