Just been looking through all the documents i got with my FD a few years ago and found a Certificate of Registration. Theres some useful figures on there which some might be intersted in if they didnt already know. The car was completely standard at the time these figures where recorded.

Weight of Vehicle: 1260kg
FF Axle Weight: 630kg
RR Axle Weight: 630kg

Length: 429cm
Width: 176cm
Height: 123cm

It is quite amazing that despite it being a standard road car it still weighs in at Featherweight levels

And maintaining a 50:50 Weight distribution too

Im hoping we can get ours down to 950kgs this year :)
