It weighs 1100 pounds. How much HP should I give it? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif

OK, sounds good to me. That should put it in drag motorcycle territory. I wonder what class it would have to run in. It would have a full body. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

You sure it's that light? I'd say more like 1700-1800 lbs.



The R100 (which is a tiny car) weighed 1800 lbs. The Datsun 1200 Which many people race or put Rotaries in and race was 1600-1700 lbs.



The MG's specs I have seen list them at 1800 lbs for a 1962 I'm sure they got heaver as they got more modern.... wait this is a british car... okay stratch the modern part.

I was told 1100, but my first guess was 1500.

I checked some websites, and it seems to be around 1500 pounds. I'm pretty sure that I can make a manifold that will fit my T-78 under the hood, but I think that may be seen as some sort of suicide pact. <_<

1500 pounds? You could carry the little bastard around with you.

midgets are about 700kg..so i guess about 1400pounds.

why dont u put a rotary in a mini >> there like 1000pounds...and if u take out there glass, carpet etc u can get them under 800pounds https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

I have a mini, which btw, is my first car and its the bomb >> out handles basically anything on the road. Are there any minis in america?
