My missus weighs more than two sacks of spuds, and guess what?
The car handles great and feels much faster when I leave her at home.:D0 -

When I checked out the basics of the last car I owned it was 85 kilos diff for with or without AC, :eek:, I found that hard to believe. 35 kilos?, no.
I think my wife outweighes both these options, have to go as I'm dead. :AI like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.
Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

I weighed everything I took off on scales Bri and logged it somewhere or other.It was 25-30kg and others have took it off the same car too and it was the same.Its an early aircon system(91 car) whether that makes a difference.I don't know what extra bits there would need to be to weigh 85kg as there wasn't that much to it really.
Other things I removed were sound insulation from under the carpet(approx 10kg), bulkhead insulation(2kg or so), the list goes on.0 -
