Pretty sure you can dump the strut brace, aren't the front towers braced to firewall anyway?
Loving the door cards also.

Looking through the photos, what is that under the bonnet? Has your car had the cup electric steering fitted and therefore ditched the heavier hydraulic system and thus contributing to the weight saving?
Also note the front suspension struts look like they have had the 3 bolt hole elongated and been marked. So you can manually change camber on front wheels. Is this correct?

I asked Steve the same question and his response was and I quote:
"I wouldn't be too worried about the corner weighting. That's normal"
I have emailed Teichmann to ask how the car was configured at the time of weighing. The 1275kg is correct but I just want to know if this included fuel, front cage extension... Stock the cars are 1375kg so the weight quoted sounds about right to me.
Senoj said:Air con compressor and steering pump are absent by the looks of it. :lol: Seems to , not certain, have standard engine mounts which is a bit odd considering the lengths gone to? TB diameter is 82mm standard, your ruler seems to be measuring the rubber connector rather than the inside diameter of the TB? , i think 97 cup car is 82mm also Shift throw looks standard.
