    What does a std Escort weigh?

    This is my rally car with some pretty big transmission, all liquids on 18" wheels/slicks and a full size 18" spare.

      Hi
      in france we have every two years "contrôle technique" since i bought the cos it's this weight :
      Front dépend to guy in the car and rear depend of the quantity of gasoline in the tank !!!!
      2002 784 + 660 = 1444
      2004 766 + 604 = 1370
      2006 760 + 627 = 1387
      2010 758 + 577 = 1335
      2012 801 + 652 = 1453
      2014 792 + 636 = 1428
      2016 740 + 597 = 1337
      average 1393.5 kgs
      I'd rather be walking that drive Subaru.

              Not bad then considering the Skyline mahoosive gearbox and a rather large cast iron front diff.
              Bigger CV joints, inner front lobros and an extensive roll cage.
              I think one of my biggest savings in weight is the AG rear suspension setup. So much lighter than the original WRC cradle.

              This was after 10mins of corner weighting. Car really handles very well.
              Luckily have all this equipment to hand working where I do.

              We have some testing to do, then some more slight changes to balance, but we have had the car almost 50/50 in all axis.

                good info, i was wondering what a track car would weigh with a skyline box. mine will be about the same maybe a bit lighter, i hope.
