i'm not 100% on aus spec cars as i've read several different kerb weights for different dc2 models, but there is 27lbs in it between the US gsr (vtir) and type-r. i'd bet you could blame the stupid-arse sunroof for a good portion of that too. so assuming the case is the same in australia, a gsi sans sunroof must be awfully close to the itr in terms of kerb weight.
and fwiw -> the lsd is the main reason i only mentioned turn in and adjustability in my original post.
ithgought it was 100kg difference...
motor and wheels both said 27kg in their fist tests of the itr. never seen anything close to 100kg.
DC2R is 1048 if I remember correctly. How heavy is the GSi (too lazy to check sticky)
from one source it says 1087kg for the dc2r, so with the aircon, say just under 1100kg?
Where did you get that figure from?
car buyers guide, its a 2000 edition :p
well u know how u said type r over steers instead of understeering? it happens with GSi as well..i dont know much on the technical side of things, but i think i know oversteer when it happens to me :S
redbook rate the itr as 1080-something and the gsi as 1140-something. until now, that was the largest difference in weight i'd heard.
as i said earlier, australian figures seem to be all over the place. how much weight is there in a bit of glass, sound deadening and some other things?
one of the blokes over on honda-tech removed all his sound insulation in his ls/gsr and weighed it at like 5lbs, somewhere around as insignificant as that. it certainly didn't add up to the crazy ammount some people seem to think it does.
i think the 1048 figure could be a jap spec car, sans aircon and airbag among other things...
anyway, it's a problem easily solved, who has a set of corner scales? ;)
My EF9 has second run out to 100 km/h. It's just the ratios.Quote:
