I had the Legnum weighed

[Humpty's Revenge]

I had BDA old legnum weighed the other day and I am surprised with the result. In the resource section the weight stated is 1520kg, I take it that is for a face lift Legnum?
Mine came out as 1640kg.

Now that's with 3/4 tank of fuel
No spare wheel
No tools or jack
No stereo (I know not much there)
Full stainless exhaust which is much lighter
Carbon bonnet.

Is the 1520kg just kerb weight? With me in the car it was another 140kg (I know FB)
So upon looking at the weight that difference is probably down to the fuel?ve

Just thought I would post this to gauge opinion really

Fuel i would guess?

[Confused]

Fuel would be about 1kg per litre.

[Nutter_John]

Fuel and oil would be 0.75 per litre ( water is 1kg per litre )

[Wodjno]

Dry weight

[WildCards]

Would it be safe to assume that this would be an accurate-ish kerb weight for a standard car with no fuel then?

I'd imagine the stuff removed and lighter parts would equate to a similiar weight as the fuel.

I weighed a prefacelift auto with leather at 1660kg without me but with a good amount of fuel, spare wheel and a handfull of tools in the boot.

The weight stated must be a dry weight, IMO.

In an auto, you have getting on for 20 litres of oils and about 7 litres coolant. Another 5 litres washer fluid, then 45 litres fuel for your 3/4 tank.

So nearly 70 kgs just in that lot.

so wether you win by an inch or a mile, ditch your coolant before the finish line!

The official weight is 1530kg for a manual VR-4 and auto VR-4's are 1570kg. My VR-4 is pretty light, as per this thread:

Without the fuel mine would be 1495kg or so!

Bloody NZ, they get VR4's that'll do a bazillion miles per gallon AND cars that are lighter than everyone elses!

I personally prefer to think there just full of ****!

maby all the dirt and crap it has accumulated over the years adds a bit too

After being under my st-r quite a bit I'm surprised how much dirt and crud can be hiding in there. Dirt's heavy!
