I'll bet the heavier TR6 is based on the C Production setup with Lucas PI or Webers where the TR250 may have been for D Prod and running two 1.75" side drafts.</div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1463482849402_3285">As another data point, I got my car down to 1950 lb for SCCA Solo F Prepared. I had to start getting "dicey" as far as making car reliable (like the 4 lb battery and stuff like that). To be honest, I'd go reliable before I'd try to get as light as possible.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1463482849402_3527" dir="ltr">All that said, the weights that Scott quotes are somewhat close to the curb weight of a factory car, probably sans bumpers - as the Vintage GCR says, Production cars have to appear as they would in the showroom, or words to that effect. I can also tell you from experience that the interior bits and wire harness weight about 350 lb, so the math is quite easy". Oh, and a stock TR6 bonnet weighs about 75 lb. ;-) Also - glass is very heavy.</div><div dir="ltr">C ya,</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1463482849402_3863" dir="ltr">Bob Lang<br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1463482849402_3714" dir="ltr"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1463482849402_3168"><span></span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div style="display: block;" class="yahoo_quoted"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font face="Arial" size="2"> On Tuesday, May 17, 2016 6:20 AM, Charly <charly@mitchelplumbing.com> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><br><br>On Mon 16/05/16 6:54 PM , Charly <a ymailto="mailto:charly@mitchelplumbing.com" href="mailto:charly@mitchelplumbing.com">charly@mitchelplumbing.com</a> sent:<br>> In the PCS link below, Page 265 starts the TR250 and several pages<br>> later the TR6.<br>> Mine ways in about 1950 the last time I weighed it.<br>> Charly Mitchel <br>> TR6 #44<br>> <a href="http://sovrenracing.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/SCCA_PCS_69.pdf" target="_blank">http://sovrenracing.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/SCCA_PCS_69.pdf</a><br>> On Mon 16/05/16 12:00 PM , Scott Janzen sent:<br>> > all the usual sources have Tr6s listed at 2491 lb and the TR250 at<br>> > 2165 lb.
