Weigh-in time! The car comes in at 1315 lbs with a nearly-full tank of gas. This is right about where Keith expected it to be, as it's almost identical to his car. Installing the windshield wipers and the trunk will add a few pounds as will a stock intake system. More importantly, the car has an excellent left-right weight distribution and a slight rear weight bias - 52% empty, about 55% with occupants. We adjusted the suspension to even out the cornerweights, adding quite a bit of traction to the right front tire. That should help braking. Before adjustment, there was a 70 lb difference between the front wheels. Now there's only 9.
