That will be a Tiger Super Six then!!

They are heavier than some at about 680kg because they are built from 1.5 inch steel chassis.

They are also quite narrow in the seat department.

Probably not the best car to stick a bike engine in.

I put my car over a set of scales the other day and it registered 740kg, take of me at 100kg and a full tank of fuel at 40kg that leaves 600kg and that is with a mazda mx5 bp motor, somewhere there is a picture of my car in a thread.

Hmm interesting points. I`m going to the weighbridge v.soon and will let you know the results.

I have a Vauxhall redtop fitted and a full Tiger cage so should be interesting.

Werami, do you know how much the MX5 motor weighs by chance?

Wish i could tell you the weight of the mx5 motor, it is a cast iron block with alloy head so it would be heavier than the duratec motor.

My Avon weighs 660kg with me in the driver seat, so around 580kg without. That's with Zetec engine and full cage, 1/2 tank of fuel.

Mine was weighed today with a C20XE engine,full cage,15" wheels(not so light).

However it had no bonnet or cone on so maybe add about 10kgs but it weighed bang on 600 kgs.
