hey all,

 

i know that little rollas are light cars, and so can become pretty quick if

you do up the engine

i am interested in finding out approx power to weight ratios, so could people;

post the weight of their ke, stock and modified, with some rough power figures ?

 

if anyone knows factory weight as well that would be good, as from the research i have done, i

found a fairly wide range (650-1000kgs, and i think this might be a bit out !)

 

cheers

KE25 rally car. 82hp at wheels. 842 kgs ready to race.

 

TE37 rally car. 110hp at wheels. About 950kgs.

 

I'd tell you the homologated weight, but I'm not home for a few days.

KE20

Weight - lighter than stock

Power - more than standard

 

;)

The rego label on my KE30 2 door states 'TARE 900kg'

Rego says my KE70 is 900 kgs, and I've on a site somewhere that a stock 4kc is worth about 60 hp at the fly

My rolla atm stands a little bit over 1 tonne

With 4agze turboed, cooler, r31 diff, w5* box, full street trim.

What rego label states, and what the real weight is are two separate items.

cheers guys,

 

thats still better than all i have found so far ! ;)

 

fair point about the rego label redwarf, i have found that on some of my mates cars,

those estimates look a fair bit off.

but i think that kangaroosa's list is great, thanks a bunch guys

Well, I tried to put the car on the bathroom scales, but they broke. So I just read the rego sticker

You could always try driving to the Rubish Tip and use their scales. I went yesterday and it read well over a tonne. Tho i did have a couple hundred Kg's of timber on my roof ;)

my Ke20 will weight about 850kgs once finished, running S5 13BT+gearbox and some nice upgrades ill be looking at 150~rwkw :bash:

 

should be a fun little package on the street with only 175's on the rear ;)
