Road Ready Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I've not actually gotten an actual weight of the car. Should I include my weight when I get that? For the Seven, the operator's weight is a much more important factor than that for some super car the weighs 3X as much. What do Caterham Super Sevens actually tend to weigh with fuel and driver?

nick47 Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 My porky Locost came in at 1560 empty. Too many LBC parts, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdaddy Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) I bought four 400lb bathroom scales and made some wooden "ramps" to roll the car on and off for corner weighting. Total without spare, spare carrier, or much gas, was right at 1200 lbs for my '03 Birkin. It's nice to have scales at home so the impact from changes (recently bought new, lighter wheels), can be seen right away.
