Default Weight
Well After years of owning my Bugeye WRX and with not a lot of the original car left it was interesting to see what it weighed and it came out at 1426 with a full tank of petrol say 50 lts = 37.5 kgs so still about the same as the original weight but I have a 6 speed dccd box now which is about 30 kg more. So still about 100 kg less than a STi

That the prob put me in and some petrol and it will be 1500 kg again.

At the moment Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 238.30 a STi would need 24hp to make 350hp to be the same. So I need more power and less weigh, front mount next so I will see if the weigh goes up or down . the 6 speed box has cost me 5hp but I can give it more stick.
