Bought off eBay for 89 quid. Much cheaper than the £1500 quid required for proper motorsport corner weight scales.
The weighing method involved driving off my 4 post ramp onto the 500kg scale placed on one side to weigh one corner at a time, with a dummy platform placed the other side.... swapping scales left to right for the dummy, then repeating for each axle front and rear.
I recorded 2 sets of measurements; 1) Unladen (with 1/8th tank fuel) and, 2) Laden with me (87kg) in the drivers seat.
Here is the table of results:
Highights:.
- Unladen weight worked out at 1158. 3 Kg (no A/C).
Near 50:50 distribution front to rear, side to side, and diagonals (cross weights).
Slight righthand bias is probably due to slightly tired OE springs on the drivers's side ..but it's still bloody good!
With my 87 kg onboard, the front to rear distribution improves as the seat postion is slightly towards the rear.
BHP/ton number drops 10.9 bhp with me 87 kg onboard!
I did the Clan corner weights after this. Lowlight; the bhp/ton drops 22 bhp with me on board! Demonstrating how modern high kerb weights, requiring motorsport-level power and torque, carry people effortlessly with hardly a hit to the BHP/ton number... but it's obscenely ungreen too!
