Dam that is on the high side.

My ute is stock so if someone tell's me a place in SA i'll go and get a number for my self.

i dont think 880 is really that bad post conversion..

i weighed my ute pre conversion...

thats with a12 running gear
15 inch wheels (14" spare)
stanza front end (struts/brakes)
full carpeted interior

and mine tipped the scales at 780kg

440 over the front wheels
340 over the rear

so yeah.. i think 880 for a ca conversion is pretty good..

yeah i gues ur right mate, How is ur conversion going ANGE cant wait to see it finished

yeah its going pretty good..

getting pieced together ever so slowly..

but its getting there no doubt

will post some pics up soon, however its not much to look at... its just a tiny little engine

and it lacks a whole lot of shiney chrome parts when compared to someone else's

My rego papers say my ute weighs 695kg !
Dunno if it`s a typo might have to take it to a weigh-bridge.

nah that would be right mine weighed 690kg stock

well im confused now. i weighed my car about 8 months ago and it came in at 670ish kg. is my ute missing something?

where are you guys weighing your cars? public weighbridges are notoriously inaccuracte. I'd only trust a proper set of scales.

I wouldn't expect the ute to be too much lighter than other 1200's. It has a heavier diff, heavier leaves, and some heavier 'chassis' subframes in the rear, as well as things like the tailgate and full steel inner walls of the tray, and a fairly substantial ribbed tray floor. the method of securing the spare is also heavier. it all adds up. They look light though!

for comparison's sake, my L18 engined coupe with full steel rollcage (~59kg) and all the spoilers and flares weighed in at 850kg. Only stuff removed from it really are rear seat, hoodlining, carpet, sound deadening, and heater. The cage would more than make up for those items.

I had mine weighed with A14, 4 speed, stock interior by the rego nazis so I know it's correct and it came in at 750 kgs, 720 is what the title said before the conversion.

Public weighbridges are managed under the "Trade Measurements Act" legislation.

They are checked every 6 months by an independant body.
