I had my car corner balanced yesterday. I figured I'd post up the results for those wondering what kind of weight and balance issues they could expect if they built one.

The car weighed in at 2811 pounds with 1/2 a tank of gas. With a 160 pound driver in the car, making it 2971 pounds, it is balanced to within just over 1% of 50/50 distribution front to back and side to side. 51.5% to 48.5% side to side. And 50.9% to 49.1% front to rear.

782 pounds left front 732 right front
750 left rear 707 right rear.

My subframe is RX-7 Specialties, which, I believe, is/was the same as Pettit's.

Please share the details of your car. i.e. - R1 or touring? AC and heater core still installed? Full interior? Roll cage? Turbo size? etc etc. . .any pertinent details that will help people draw better comparisons would be much appreciated.

Thank you kindly.

 

I've got a bit of a build thread somewhere. T88, Greddy 3-row FMIC, Gotham Dual oil coolers, Gotham 20B radiator. Still have AC and Heat. Car was a base model. Battery relocated to the spare tire well. I don't have the storage bins in and have Sparco Evo seats. No roll bar/cage.

Depends on how much weight you added to your interior with all that leather. :-)

 

was wondering where and how do you have your car corner balanced?

 

thats very interesting, but hard to understand.. as it is very similar to the standard kerb weight (the spiritR is 1260kgs with the 13b)? my understanding was that the 20b was significantly heavier than the 13b (like 70kgs/150 pounds more?), plus weight of subframe, heavier turboset up etc..? Certainly gives a great power/weight.

 

Lots was removed or replaced with lighter materials. No emissions. Lighter bumper and fenders. Replaced the stock, heavy seats. etc. etc.
