Yes Arches are approx 20mm wider than OEM and 5mm higher.

 

 

 

 

9js looks so much better at the inner hub

Yes they do but I can't seem to get a set from the normal outlets any idea The casting must still exist

 

looks like the arches have been modified to, 

do yours fit without arch extenders steve

It´s time to get started to prepair for season 2018. Today was the first day for this Winter with the snow falling from the sky.

​So borrowed this corner weight scales.

 

​Even tho my garrage is "new" it wasnt 100 even. So about 1.5mm difference between  left front and left rear, took a 1mm alu plate as a shim, close enough.

This is with me (LH) and 7 litres of fuel

 

Below is with me and matts and a 5kilo box over the right front, thinking of moving battery to this location in some way.

 

Weight distribution of 41/59 front rear was a bit better than I thougt.

But the total weight was 30 kg more than I thought.

 

For next year I will add some aero, hoping to not increase the total weight very much

and a weight distribution goal will be 42/58.

It could have been me if I was 1 meter tall. Its my 2.5 year old sons foot. :-) Thank you btw. Will get my HT on this time. It weighted without mounts 1.5 kg more than ny softtop.

Really good weight. Compared to mine at least. Mine weighed, on the same kind of scales, 915 with a full tank. That would mean that my car weigh some 30 kg more than yours. Wonder where those kg's are hiding?

The differences I know of are that mine is SC'd and you have the Honda engine. Is that the entire explanation?

Err, you have a supercharger fitted, which adds about 25-30kg depending on parts fitted. Standard weight is ~875kg.

 

I'd assume the Honda engine weighs roughly the same as the Z22SE standard engine.

Better?

Got any pictures from the rear? Looks good!

[Aerodynamic]

I cam take a picture from the rear tomorrow. I made the wing last spring. I wanted to have something looking simulare to the turbo spoiler but actually did something. And a friend bought a car and got this Alu profile with it. And I took it and cut it in 2 with a 9deg on each blade. So total of 18 deg.

I was thinking that my Z22SE was about the same as Per's Honda but does the SC stuff really weigh that much? Perhaps it does...

Yep, it does. The Manifold and SC add about 15kg, then all the ancillary items plus fluid etc. add 10-15kg, dependant on spec.

Quite often forgotten about by the SC boys when talking about weight differences between SC and VXT.

If this forum has taught me one thing, facts (and good old common sense!) don't seem to be important to a lot of humans if you ask me!

If it helps a lot of the lotus world think doing a k20 swap makes it the same or lighter than original k series

[SteveA]

Fake news. AKA Ignore the facts that don't support your opinion.

[The Batman]

But I guess people say it weighs the same as na as when they change exhaust or wheels they save ex amount of weight etc etc

[Aerodynamic]

a nice ass Picture.
