Coupe weight penalty

[Flamshackle]

Can anyone confirm the EXTRA weight incurred by having the coupes glassed hardtop and door window mechanisms?

I am keen to know how much added weight there is to the 818C over the 818S.

based on my car, I'd say you're going to be looking at approximately 100 to 200 lbs weight gain from the hardtop. Mine might not be like everyone else's, because I've decided to add a windshield cage loop and connect it to the main roll hoop via 2 tubes that run horizontally from windshield loop to roll cage. But because of interior components, etc, I'd say the increase shouldn't be more than that.

That seems like a big weight increase. hmmm.

I wonder if FFR will release weight info, I am sure they have it now?

Im thinking that the car will weight in around 2000lbs base. This can vary greatly due to what features you add to the car. Like running awic, ac, power steering, how much insulation to radio system. The interior fit and finish will greatly change the weight of the car. Im running awic and ac already, so adding a bit more glass and some more fiberglass isn't bothering me. I saved weight by not using the stock seats and not going crazy with my interior. If you take into consideration the new front end has a beefier frame you can easily see some weight gain and the door frames have more steel for the window regulators. I think the weight will be close to the R if not slightly higher but not by much. They have a better cage and we get an enclosed car.

Sorry if I missed it but has anyone who bought a coupe or added the coupe top to their S weighed the top plus glass?

Also, could anyone please tell me the height to the roof of the coupe from the floor pan where the fuel tank area is (about where your head would be aligned with)?

Thanks.
