Front/Rear weight balance?

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







If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

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

Slowly working on reducing rear weight.
