1Gti-r Weights and Corner Balance Empty Gti-r Weights and Corner Balance 13th November 2014, 2:51 am

gtirnick



Just got car corner balanced at shop.  Just under half tank with 186lb driver, my fat ass
no air con,
tons of engine brackets removed,
lighter downpipe,
exhaust,
testpipe,
lighter front brakes,
lighter battery,
lighter suspension,
lighter clutch flywheel

works out to 2642lbs - 1198kg
mind you the scale can have room for error

but is the listed stock weight of 1220kg with fuel?

i suppose the modena lsd, arc intercooler, 2 way nismo rear diff, and larger rear discs, bucket with sliders, long 0 gauge wiring to trunk, and wider rims/tires adds some weight

Going by that it just goes to show how nose heavy these cars are and a big lump of that is hanging over the front axle

That's why with my new project I'm going to try balance the car by actually adding more weight to the rear to try equal things out.
Then up the power and alter suspension to compensate for the weight increase
Don't know how it will all work out as never been down this route before but learnt a lot from the way the gtr35 is designed with its weight distribution and big power and it works well on that unless on really tight turns
