Corner weights / f:r balance?

Postby shirt » Wed 24.08.2022, 02:36

Has anyone weighed their car, or otherwise knows the corner weights for an s2, or even just the f:r balance?

ETA: whilst we’re at it, does anyone know the weight of the engine and gearbox?

I weighed stuff when I had it off last. My wife has since informed me that that scale is about "5lbs too kind" (and here I thought I was a svelte 225!) so final weight might be a bit more than what's listed. :oops:
