Wet weight without carpets and the early engine was 880KG when I had mine
weighed. However it's probably a bit heavier with carpet and more bits
under the bonnet since I put it on the bridge. With me on top it's going to
be around the 1,000KG mark now.
Where do you live? I've drive past and you might see me if you're quick
enough ;-)

Ah yes,
just how heavy is a Quantum? I have not tried to weigh it, but if
bike engined Indy's can be held on acceleration it would suggest the 2+2 is
a featherweight.
I do not think it would be a good business venture as these things take huge
dollops of time to perfect and get working properly, indeed I had no plans
on having the lump any further back than was needed.
I have just put some sticky tyres on the front to give it some grip so my
thoughts are just that at the moment.
I went on a Ford RS web forum last night........shock. Their spelling and
understanding of their cars was shocking.
(wud me RS hav sumptin rong wiv it suzpensson cos the weels are chambered) I
thought that perhaps English might be a second language for them.LOL Please
do not haul me over the coals for my bad English though!
I am really looking forward to seeing the Fiat coupe engined 2+2 some time
this year.
I love all your ideas guys and hope to see you at events as I am yet to see
another 2+2 on the road.
Cheers
Jon

Hi Jon
how about putting the engine mid mount at the back. If a composite wall was
made behind the front seats of the same thinness as the bulkhead, it should
the be possible to contruct a metal frame that can be installed in the rear
area putting the engine foward of the axel line. The fuel tank could then be
relocated the front of the car to help with the weight balance.
Quite an awkward task butmust admit, FUN
Eddie

I stood looking at the cavernous boot of my Quantum 2+2 Turbo and
wondered if it could be made more interesting as I come from a rear
drive background and find understeer the most vile crime a car can commit!
My thoughts were to make a subframe to fit inside the boot and fit
something like a Hyabusa motorbike engine driving the rear wheels via
an LSD Sierra diff, making the engine bay a boot.
I should add I am a professional engineer who makes F1 parts for some
of the leading teams.
Are there any loony 2+2's out there?
Oh happy new year to you all.
