I'm sure someone has taken a full Cooper S or GT shell to sims some time in the past. How much does a bare shell weigh?

Might build me a rack in the garage...

No problems. Some forums don't like it but we have no problems with sharing links to other forums here.

I recon!

Get a good perspective about lightening the car... It all adds up. Though I could save more weight by going on a diet though.

My CKD 850 weighed 132kg bare. Another Aus built 850 weighed 127kg bare. Weighed them one after the other.

So if I leave out one boot lid cable and fasteners I save 0.011kg :lol:

Wow, that's nuts.

I prefer just to say "It goes much better with just me in it!". 8)
