[FLD]

Following on from some of the weight threads I thought I’d try and start weighing a few bits. Feel free to add in weights.

2.4 part counterweighted crank 17kg

[FLD]

Saab can cover 3.5kg
Z22 cam cover 3.5kg
Z22 sump (bare) 3.9kg

[border]

wouldn't this be better on a google docs spreadsheet or something people could edit?

 

Standard front hub 3.18kg

4-stud Astra hub 2.78kg

 

Standard brake disc 7.4kg

Eliseparts 4-stud floating disc (exige fitment) 5.00kg

 

Vectra C plastic rocker cover (part # 13113034) 2.38kg

 

Surplus fuel tank evap/breather parts 1.71kg

 

Standard battery (Halfords) 11.6kg

Odyssey PC680 battery 6.5kg

 

Rear clam with turbo spoiler 26.1kg

Boot lid 6.08kg

Single tail light (including fixings) 1.10kg

 

Dash plates 236g

Locking nut key 77g

Locking wheel bolt (each) 64g

 

NA standard front wheel/worn tyre 16.8kg

Forged S2 exige front wheel (split 7-spoke model A120G0026H)/fresh tyre 14.5kg

 

NA standard rear wheel/worn tyre 22.1kg

Forged S2 exige rear wheel (split 7-spoke model A120G0027H)/fresh tyre 16.3kg

 

Z22 EGR valve 665g

EGR valve blanking plate (ebay special) 92g

 

window winder centre cap 5.5g (and yes I did get rid of these - for the rattle, not for the weight saving)

 

Annoyingly I didn't bother weighing most of the stuff I took off/put on during the SC conversion, but I think the weight savings I've measured above probably go a long way to offsetting that additional weight.

It’s the one aspect that many of those who go in search of power/weight ratio forget about 👍

Heavy is good, heavy is reliable. If it doesn't work you can always hit them with it.

Even more so on a motorbike, I'm 1/3 of the combined weight, friend suggested I get a lithium battery to save 1/2kg I replied I'd save that just having a good dump

Anyone knows how much saving it is to remove the boot space on the VX220 NA?
