That makes for a pretty useful bump in hp/tonne
Have you changed the final drive or is it still standard?

It's not bad is it to be so low 1300s with a fairly useable car (at least imo!). Still has the front half of the interior and ac, albeit no airbags or sound system. Then you've got the tilletts, the bulkhead removal, li battery, wheels... offset of course by the cage and the pretty heavy front discs (368x36mm)
Standard, but it nips along pretty well these days. I want to get a 4.1 in it, yes, makes a lot more sense for the usage. But I also want a drexler, so I'm waiting to do it all at once which I can't really quite justify at the moment.. Car felt pretty great at Goodwood on monday so I'd rather spend the resources on more trackdays tbh!

I’ll bet it nips along!TomK wrote: ↑Tue Mar 15, 2022 8:03 pm Standard, but it nips along pretty well these days. I want to get a 4.1 in it, yes, makes a lot more sense for the usage.

A diff will no doubt be a nice upgrade when the time comes but given how well yours probably goes, I can’t say I’d be in any rush to do it. Might as well flog the standard setup until it groans!

This is mine with half a tank and me in (75kg).
CSL wheels, no heavy options (el.seats, satnav etc) just the light ones (cruise, seatheat, PDC etc).

Just had mine corner weighted if anyone is following this thread still!
Tillett carbon buckets and harnesses, apex ec7 alloys, ap racing brakes with alloy bells, but otherwise full interior. Full tank of fuel and an 80kg driver came in at 1520kg. So empty tank and no driver is what 1390kg. Not terrible, seems within the right ballpark compared to others posting here, but I'm still surprised at how lardy the Z4M is generally - 1390 empty of fuel and sans driver is fairly bloody heavy!

mine came in at 1385 with half a tank of fuel no driver.... the new carbon shell seats finally dipped me under the 1400s, i agree tho its a heavy little sucker, the iron block and steel panels.. the trunk lid on the roadster is insanely heavy , easily 40kg plus. i'm trying to get a company to make me a carbon one.Ed Doe wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 7:09 pm Just had mine corner weighted if anyone is following this thread still!

well your figure seems to be in the right ballpark anyway, iirc the roadie is supposed to be a bit lighter than the coupe? The fact yours with similar seats brakes and so on is probably about 25kg lighter than mine seems to be about right!Beedub wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 1:44 pmmine came in at 1385 with half a tank of fuel no driver.... the new carbon shell seats finally dipped me under the 1400s, i agree tho its a heavy little sucker, the iron block and steel panels.. the trunk lid on the roadster is insanely heavy , easily 40kg plus. i'm trying to get a company to make me a carbon one.Ed Doe wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 7:09 pm Just had mine corner weighted if anyone is following this thread still!

Either way though as you say, with the iron block and so on they aren't lightweights that's for sure!
You got anther trackday booked yet?

The trunk lid is listed as 9KG bare. Is it really that much heavier with all the gubins?Beedub wrote: ↑Thu Aug 04, 2022 1:44 pmmine came in at 1385 with half a tank of fuel no driver.... the new carbon shell seats finally dipped me under the 1400s, i agree tho its a heavy little sucker, the iron block and steel panels.. the trunk lid on the roadster is insanely heavy , easily 40kg plus. i'm trying to get a company to make me a carbon one.Ed Doe wrote: ↑Mon Aug 01, 2022 7:09 pm Just had mine corner weighted if anyone is following this thread still!
