Today is the first trackday for the Elise. I’m going to run it with the stock tires, alignment settings and tire pressures to see how it performs.
It is supposed to be rather hot today, around 90, so it might not be the best day but at least I’m not at work!
I went over to a friends house yesterday to help him put the body back on to his S2 Europa. He has swapped the Renault engine for a Zetec but that is another story.
While hanging out after the work was done, we broke out his scale set and weighed everything in sight. For my Elise, Touring pack, hardtop and about 1/2 tank of gas, the weights were:
Empty
LF 369 RF 373
LR 632 RR 602
Total 1976
Me only
LF 452 RF 402
LR 718 RR 633
Total 2205
(Quick, how much to I weigh?)
With two people in the car
LF 475 RF 483
LR 736 RR 696
Total 2370
