Phantom Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Here is my first technical feedback on my conversion. '77 280Z with MSA Aero II kit on it with 16" wheels & tires along with LS1/T56/3.7R200. Stock interior. Battery in regular battery compartment and about 3/4 tank of gas. Driver weight NOT included. Total weight = 2810 lbs., 1,400 lbs front, 1,410 lbs rear. This was done on a certified truck axle scale. Weights could vary +/- 10 lbs due to standard scale error. With me in it it weighed 3,040, 1,500 front & 1,540 rear. One other detail. Before I started the conversion the car weighed 2,800 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumo Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 It only gained 10 pounds? Was it weighed at the same scale before? That's pretty good weight distribution, are you still checking the systems out before terrorizing the streets in Arlington? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Posted June 2, 2003 Author Share Posted June 2, 2003 Same scales and not sure it gained 10 lbs. I actually had 1-2 gallons more fuel in it than when I weighed it the first time so it could be actually the same wieght and it could be an even 50-50 at that fuel level. Nope, I started terrorizing streets in Arlington last night. I was only a couple miles from home and it didn't break on the trip home so I tried to break it - but not really hard. Results were some truly awesome straight line runs and one Firebird driver with a new respect for Z cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PETEW Posted June 2, 2003 Share Posted June 2, 2003 Awsome! I love to hear low weight #'s for the 280Z. Getting rid of the bumpers takes off some nice weight. Good to hear your liking your new toy. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
