The last time I weighed the car was at the drags, I was shocked.

I think it is a lot of things that get it there.

1. A bare Dart block is 72kgs.
2. Billet wheels, much heavier than most cast 2 /3 piece.
3. SFI scattershileld, it's made out of 1/4 inch plate.
4. Big brakes 365mm fronts, ducting.
5. Sway bars front and rear.
6. I have a fully functioning heater/demister
7. Power steering.
8. The NOS gear, extra fuel pump,extra fuel tank, reg, solenoids, plumbing.
9. The aluminium work, air filter, surge tank, windscreen washer, 5ltr catch can.

I agree with Mike , my kit was when Ian was playing arround with fiberglassing, I remember cuting the hoop holes and the fiberglass was a good 20mm thick!!!!!
