    Hey guys,

    Very quick question, are the weights of different bodystyles described here correct?

    http://z32.wikispaces.com/Chassis+Differences

    According to that wiki, 2+0 Targa is only 20 kilos heavier than a slicktop?

    Cheers,

    Kirill

    I remember reading they are around 50kg heavier, not sure if this was from an FSM or Wikipedia.

    Looks right, I think mine weighed in around 1532 at WSID. Would have lost some weight changing seats and that kinda thing, and gained some weight in suspension bracing etc. Don't quote me on that figure though!

    On my rego the NA auto sliktop is 1200 kg, the TT man sliktop is 1450kg, the TT auto ttop is 1490kg, and the TT man ttop is 1460kg, these are all 2 seater.
    And the rego very's from $544 to $602 a year.

    I thought rego varied by category (and number of cylinders).
    So do you guys strip your cars back for rego time? Empty to boot (wheel, jack, tools, extinguisher) remove the targas, etc.

    QLD rego must be approaching $900 these days.

    My maths is 1416kg going off Wikipedia.

    When I got the car it was missing all the gear in the boot and the insulation.
    The 1200kg is what's on the paperwork I was just going off that.
    I think here in WA it goes on weight because the 4 seater are a different rego price as well.
