That's what you want to achieve is 50/50 cross weights, but you will never get there because gas weighs how much a gallon? and how much fuel do you use in a 1/2 race?

gas doesn't affect my cross-weight as much as it does others.. seeing that the tank is between the driver and passenger, and in the exact middle of the car . I thought about adding a fuel cell in the frunk, but then my turn in characteristics would change farily dramatically during the race.
Cross weights is what we focus on first when setting the car up. It is usually the easiest to get close to 50/50 first with 100% legal adjustments. Then from there you can try to move the wieght front back without adjsuting the ride height out of wack.

But that's one of the beauty things about an AW11 MR2 Tim, the gas tank is in the transmission tunnel, almost dead-center, front to back. So your X-weight percentage should be close to the same regardless of how much fuel is in the tank.
/edit/ Damn, should have clicked on the 2nd page before responding!
Sorry, I've not had an A2 to compare with my A1 Wabbit.
