weight?

[786evo8]

hi guys,

seen this from a link on the locostbuilders website so thought i'd do some digging.

really like the idea of using the mx-5 and the build looks more do-able for a kit car virgin.

one question though, how may kg with this be if using a mk2 subframe? 700-800kg?

thanks for the help

Jav,

The MEV demo car weighs in at 700kg. I do not believe there is any significant difference in weight between the mk1 and mk2. You can go lighter with wheels, seats, tank, etc. Stiggy has also said that f/r balance is perfect with his 13 stone weight in the drivers seat and a half tank of fuel.
