Weight off a Fabia vrs

[Thomson]

Anybody had there vrs weighed?

Just wondered as can't seem to find a definative answer.

Standard spec? And one with electric sunroof etc?

Heavy for a small 5 door hatchback

The engine and box are really heavy.

I weighed mine when I took some scrap in,the thread is on here somewhere,IIRC it was just over 1300kgs

The search function on here works pretty well

Depending on budget, you could start either by removing trim, or by buying carbon fibre doors, bonnet and tailgate.

I just wanted to know what people have actually weighed them at. The threads I searched for people weren't sure if it was weighed with driver fuel etc. Says the book figure is 1315kgs. Just wondered what people had actually had them weighed at that's all. :-).

You put title as "weight off" - as in "how you get weight off a Fabia" - i.e lose weight

 

You meant "weight of"    Which is about 1300kg as above

Mass of, strictly speaking.

Seem to remember my ibiza weighing out at a bit over 1400kg with me in it when I took some scrap in. I'm a pretty constant 75kg.

Heavy little cars.

If you look in my build thread in my signature I weighed my vrs as a rally car so no non essential trim etc but a 40kg roll cage think it was 12 something but yes they are heavy for a small car.

Just out of curiosity why does autodata record it as 1460kg?

 

Thats strange on the website it says kerb weight 1245kg but when I was at a garage earlier today the brake tester weight wall chart had it down as 1460kg. Strange.

Cars can be driven at Kerb / Unladen weight, but put passengers & luggage in and the brakes need to be efficient at that Gross / Revenue weight.

Listed in the handbook. Ranges from around 1240-1315kg depending on spec.

That's why I wanted to know what people has actually weighed them at. As there's so many different weights. They do seem very heavy for a little car. My old Saxo vts many years ago must off weighed around 850kgs.

If there 1315kgs. my target would be 1250kgs. Without losing the back seats. Just to lose some off the bulk. :-).

Get yourself a mk1 Golf or even a mk2 and fit your engine in it, you will have an absolute weapon without needing to rip out all the stuff that gives it some level of refinement.

 

Mk1 golf weighs about the same as your saxo did but you gain much more street cred, a mk2 weighs about a ton depending on which version.

 

Probably not viable for you but the I love the idea of little weight and much torque.
