Fun with scales (Now with pictures...56k...enjoy)

mkbuker · 05-03-2007, 04:02 AM

I took the day off work today to work on the car and get things touched up and some parts updated. Got everything done (minus brake fluid changed) and my boss came over and said "charge up the scales and lets balance out this piece of tupperware (he's a dirt track guy)." So what we got before the battery died was...

Left Front = 658lbs Right Front = 678lbs
Left Rear = 387lbs Left Rear = 372lbs
Left = 1045lbs 49.9%
Rear = 759lbs 36.2%
Cross = 1065lbs 50.8%
Total weight = 2095lbs

Over the weekend we'll see if we can even things out a little more.

Pretty much a gutted interior. I'll get her on the ground this week and take some more pictures.

haha, you can't tell she's on jackstands in the first picture, just looks like you made it REALLY light...haha.

That's about how far my '7 is gutted...removed all trim/carpeting from the dash back...racing seats...a/c/power steering...anything else done?

that looks damn good... idk if id be too comfortable w/ the harness mounted on the floor though...

mkbuker · 05-06-2007, 07:00 PM

Harness gets mounted there till the cage gets done later this year.

A/C is gone, might remove the hvac controls to lose another 8 to 10lbs, I know the cage is gonna weight in around 250-350 lbs, cant take much more out unless i add weight later. ITA car has to weight in at 2350lbs i think, I dont have '07 rule book yet.
