I can't find anything on the stock weight distribution of the 3 door hatch CE Mirages. Does anyone know what it is please?
Yeah I have a feeling it'll be closer to 60/40 F/R but just wondering if anyone has heard the actual figure before.Another member Spetz wrote a while ago that his 6a12 converted lancer coupe has a 66/34 F/R split. I'd imagine stock may be a fraction lighter in the front.
Awesome, thanks for the info. I'm thinking of doing battery relocation to boot once I've done some weight removal to try and balance it out a bit and free up some room in the engine bay. Just trying to figure out if it's worth it or notThat's correct. I also weighed the 6A12 to be ~45kg heavier than a 4G93.
The 4G15 is obviously lighter, and perhaps the rear end of the Mirage is lighter too.
So about 65/35 is what you're likely at.
Incidentally I also weight my friend's EG Civic hatch with a B16A and though lighter overall, it had the exact same weight distribution as mine with the 6A12.
A 4G93 auto coupe had the same distribution too.
Keeping in mind this is on a public weigh bridge that reads in 20kg increments.
Yeah righto sweet, thanks man. I can get a good deal for someone else to do it so thought it might be a half decent idea to free up room in the engine bay anyway hahaI've driven a 4G93 converted Mirage with no interior and no AC.
It was actually really fun to drive and certainly didn't feel unbalanced or too front heavy.
I think with a battery relocation you'll be fine overall and I would suggest focusing on this if/when it becomes an issue.
For now just do what you can, that is, the 4G93 conversion or any other mods
Yeah I know 50/50 isn't everything but most of the weight I want to remove will be towards the rear. Im going to be getting decent coilovers and setting it up as a quick street car and trackable car. Especially if I'm going to swap to the 4g93 the front is going to be quite heavy. But maybe that's ok and I don't need to do relocation
Do you mean LSD? but yeah, those are the planGet a good slippery diff, a rear sway bar and some good shocks, that will get it handling like a go-kart.
