Front/Rear weight balance?
impreziv - 26/11/06 at 04:13 PM

has anyone here ever measured the front and rear weights of their Locost?

i searched around, and couldnt find anything.

if anyone knows their balance, would you mind posting it here, along with what engine you have in the car?

Mine was 48:52 to the rear with me in it, at SVA, but I am a significant part of my cars weight

hmm, i figured it would be a tad front heavy without a driver. so 50:50 with driver sounds good. i hope i can keep the same balance.

i think thatll be the case for me too

nothing a suspension config cant correct, or a diet

i think ill buy that Sparco EVO seat that i know i cant fit comfortably in. and ill look at it everyday as diet encouragement. kinda like how a woman will buy a swimsuit too small for her, as encouragement

Same here,48/52 F/R, with me on board.

Slowly working on reducing rear weight.
