What is the weight ratio for the 240sx

[Blueorb]

Does anyone know the weight ratio to the 240sx? For example if it is 50 front 50 rear.. or 48 front and 52 rear with the rx-8.. thanks

i belive its something like 53, 47

You think? That gives me a good idea. but I would like to have a definate answer.. but thanks for your input.. because I want to balance it out and adjusting the handling.... like transfering the battery to the trunk and so on....

It is for sure 53/47. Of couse that is so close to 50/50 i wouldn't even do anything about it, especally because i have a tool box in my trunk and usually a set of golf clubs during the summer, it is really not that big of deal.

best way to balance the car is not to move the weight but to lighten the heavy end... for example ill be getting carbin fiber fenders, race skin carbon fiber hood, and a carbon fiber trunk lid and various other carbon fiber pieces made, the car shoudl eb near perfect 50/50 weight ratio after this (and no im not wasting money, im getting a really good deal on it!)

anyone know the weight differet between SR20DET and KA24DE? If SR20DET lighter does the weight ratio will be even closer??

in the 240sx.org FAQ under "engine weights" I think....pretty much the weight difference isnt much to be concernd about with the engines. I agree wiht lightening the front end, but I think lightening the car(as a whole, but there's more to lighten on the front end), then getting it corner weighed with a good set of coil-overs would be the way to go....
