Official weights (both HDi Meridians) Hatch - 1155kg, Estate 1200kg, so you're about right.

Anyway...
Weighed the car today...
1180kg with half a tank of fuel.
My DT came in at 1030-1040kg when I weighed it, again with half a tank, no rear bench...
So yeah, 140kg less... I'd say that's about right...
1040 is very light...
Rear bench cant be 100kg surely?!
Theres no way that a xud11 lump is heavier by 40kg!!!
Esp as my whole car comes in at 30kg ish less than a gti6 book weight
According to the title i missed the bit where you fitted a vnt
Yours has a lot more in than mine did, mine was a bit of a barran wilderness inside.
Amps, subs, carpets, I had Buckets in also..
And alllll that flock!!

Phew that was hard work
TBs came out sooooo nice.....but the ARBs were proper seized in.
Difference between 19mm and new 21mm torsion bars...
[attachment=16988]
So upgraded from
19mm ARB to 20mm
19mm TBs to 21mms
Did you measure it with a vernier? If so what was the measurement?

What was the measurement for what mate?
TBs were 19mm (cabby beam) now they are 21s
Yeah, digital verniers used
Yeah mate 21s!!!

How it sits now...
Measured at identical distance to arch as with 19s but now sits about 15mm higher.
I know some wont like that...but its exactly what I wanted.
Nice n level now
And the drive is transformed...didnt realise quite what a difference they would make!!!
Lol find that hard to believe with the paint that is all...
Height is perfect imo! Its pretty similar to how mine sits on the GTi beam tbh.

Flipping ek...if you really wana be pedantic...
It ranges from 20.91mm in places to @ max of 21.43 due to paint/surface corrosion.
So I assumed they were 21mms!!
Thanks, just did't look like 21's is all
So wait a min, what size have you put in again?
I think it might be 21mm's but not entirely sure

Have you measured them though? Sometimes 20s can look like 21s
Go with 20.5 James
Managed to finally get through the 10mm plates with me hole cutters!!!

Just need finishing and tidying....and welding to the car exhaust system!!
Just waiting on some 5v regs and a couple FETs and I finish the arduino mock up.
Not sure guna manage to get finished for pugfest though....arduino coding is frying my brain!
Just bolt it on and run with a boost can till you figure out the electronic control
May do...bit worried about consequences mind.
Ordered some multi core wiring.
So I thought I can make the loom for the sensors and power, fit all that ready...while hanging myself over code!
