I was arguing about swapping an LSx motor being swapped into an FD and he throws out this:
LS1 RX7 LF 684lbs RF 695lbs (50.5% front) LR 708lbs RR 645lbs (49.5% rear) Total 2732lbs (55 lbs more over the rear of the car) RX7 (R1 model) LF 719lbs RF 718lbs (52.9% front) LR 660lbs RR 618lbs (47.1% rear) Total 2715lbs I thought it had perfect 50/50. Also what kinda power are you guys running with pump gas and are driving it daily? Thanks. |
The stock RX-7 had near perfect 50/50. Keyword is near. Also, for the LS1 guys, it's best just to let them be and not a argue with them. The only argument they'll listen to is if you top them.

triangle, i don't know who you were arguing with, but those are my numbers. i posted the video of me corner weighing my car, alongside my friends stock r1. so the #'s are real. but keep in mind its not an apples to apples comparison, because my car has some alterations that skew the #'s in my favor:
-i have no ABS -i have no PS -i have no AC -my battery was mounted in passenger side bin so those factors help my front/rear distribution. if you'd like to see the vid, right click and "save as" on this link: http://207.127.219.37/video/AX.wmv if you want to know more facts, i think i posted them in this forum; just search my username. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif |
What's wrong with those numbers? Looks correct to me.

no one ever accounts for fuel when they calculate the weight ratio either... 20 gallons of gas behind the rear axle makes a HUGE difference also.

very true, considering a gallon of any liquid is 8 pounds right??

we both filled up prior to the event to avoid any fuel slosh issues. but i have reduced capacity tank (15 gallons) and he has stock tank (about 20 gallons?).
