We put my car up on the Longacre scales today and I figured some of you guys might be interested in the data. 2002 SVT, CF hood, 17 Rota SDRs, Borla, Intake, ORP, UDP, Kumho MX tires. (Just so you can think of anything weight wise making a difference)
This is what all seats in and spare in and leaving in the 5lbs of crap papers and CDs in the trunk.
This is also with a Full tank of gas
Without Me
LF 857 RF 832
LR 532 RR 550
Left 1389 50.1%
Rear 1082 39.1% (so Front/Rear is 61/39 is a 61% bias)
Cross 1363 49.2%
mental math says that w/ 80 pounds less on the front end, and about 20-30 more on the back (guesstimateat hte weight diff between the pzev metal tank versus the SVT plastic tank) will result in a weight distribution of about 58/42. Prolly noticeably better turn in at the expense of a little less ability to understeer on command. I'll hit that.
He has the full Longacre scale setup.
Just put her up on the lift slipped the 4 scales under (they are wheel specific) put the car down and the readout displays all the info. Ill post the pic I took of the unit when I get home and can upload it.
FYI Weighing the car didnt cost me anything, since I am getting suspension from him its part of the cost. (This way we can order appropriate spring rates and get an idea for tuning once the adjustable coil overs and koni's are on the car)
Oh and Murph
Car is down there having Mychron installed right now thats why we went ahead and weighed it.
So you can check it out at the 31st auto-x at the very least but I dont know if I will be running.
Might be headed out to Buttonwillow to watch and take pictures of a Spec Miata race instead of heading to the Auto-x not confirmed yet but looking like a possibility.
