ITB Golf weight??

[Flyinglizard]

How much weight do you have to add to your car to make weight?.
My 88 Golf car needs to be @ 2280. I have about 100# in the car. Is this about the norm?
And.. how heavy is your spare tire???
TIA,MM

Hi Mike,
My steel rim spare was very very difficult to balance.
Good luck at the enduro.

Right.

Some of us really hate the "nudge, nudge, wink, wink" crap.

Meh. Why would you try to increase the moment of inertia to rotate the car? I don't need more weight way out back myself.

I think it is less to do with the rotational moment of inertia, and more to do with trying to balance the car.

oh, I thought spares tires must be removed... (I remember some old story of a volvo in the soutwest and something about concrete... you might know the rest)

Isn't that an oxymoron for these cars?

Seriously, I think we get too caught up in the 50/50 myth, especially with a low power fwd car. You can't get the balance 'right', so why not focus on making what you have change direction more easily?

I carry 100#, carpet, insulation and sound deadening in the floor, fire bottle sysetm and handheld, and need to finish with 3/8+ tank. Looking at a cool suit addition for this year.
