    Thanks for the heads up everyone. I'll give them all a try. Google is definitely my friend. I'm heading to the drags next week so I'll give them a call and see what they've got to offer.

    Where to go to weigh your car?

    So I followed google and went to a local weighbridge near me. It cost $27.50 for the weigh in. I had also phone Rocklea and it was $20. The scales seemed to go up and down in 20kg increments as it settled it seemed to stay on 1300kgs but the printout reads 1320kgs. I think the actual weight is somewhere in between. This is back seats removed and spare with no driver.

    So your back seats would weigh another 40KG at least and was the fuel tank full

    The Tare mass should be as weighed at the factory.

    10 litres of fuel and all other liquid tanks full with a spare and no driver.

    This 'weigh in' was to get a base-line for track and drags. I'd like to see with some further modifications it drop further and hopefully see some faster times. The tank was half full per my track appearances.
