bossjohnc Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 For anyone interested, I'll be going to Brands tomorrow to weigh my GTi on their precision scales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubDub Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Have you made any mods that may make the car a different weight from that listed by VW? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossjohnc Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Completely utterly standard, bar:Air Con6CD ChangerNot sure what they weigh, but the changer is certainly less than a kilo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bossjohnc Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Sorry man, don't think so... either way my dad only has one pit pass for one car (my Lupo on this occasion!). Not sure what's racing, have to see about that - seen all sorts of things racing before, trucks are most impressive!!Can try and get a couple more tickets for another time... (but it really will only be a couple!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
