Any one know what it weighs?

I am wondering how much it will screw up our weight ratio?

I might consider moving the battery to the back of the car to balance it some.

I believe it adds in the area of about 26 pounds overall.

hmm.. well the mugen headers are about 10lbs lighter than stock (I think), so with a baterey move, you might be able to even it out some.

Don't forget that the charger sits totally infront of the engine. Both the header and batterie are next to the engine. So you will have to lighten it even more due to distance out from the center of the car.

PS: Don't friggen worry about it! Its not that much weight!

I am not "too" worried about it. I also orginally thought it weighed a bit more than 30 lbs.

Not only is the weight change minimal, but weight distribution changed less than 1%.

Always keep the gas tank full and keep the boot cover in the trunk. That with the battery relocated to the trunk should even things out.

Just treat yourself to that extra taco every day and you will soon achieve perfect weight distribution.

Fine tuning is best done with extra thin chocolate mint wafers. Recipy courtesy of Mr Creosote..
