Hi Steve - I'm in the process of stripping out my mk2 ph1, was wondering what she might weigh in at, but the only figures I could find were 860kg for a standard GTi, but I'm assuming that's possibly for US / Australian cars that came with Air Con etc?

Any ideas on what a stock uk spec GTi weighs?

I wanna calculate what weight mine should be.

Cheers, Neil.

i think 765 DRY WEIGHT not kerb weight check out this site

to be honest the interior doesent way fuck all in a swift the heaviest things are the front seats and rails depends on the look your going for

Cheers Steve, I've already stripped about 30kg from the car, with about another 20kg to go. Not really going mental on it, I've stripped out the sound deadening, rear seats and trim, no stereo etc, I'm just gonna leave the front seats as they are and whack some lightweight carpet in the front for the meantime.

here are some updated pics of the beast took of the stickers new plate and got rid of those ducts

right swift blew up about a couple of months ago and its been in my garage abot 2 months have done porting repaired all the major rust and rebuilt the engine should be dropping it back in in a couple of days enjoy

Have you glassblasted the block and head? Or sandblasted? It sure got clean
