after going to how many scrapyards and looking at engines ive found that the 1.1,1.4 and 1.6 8valve engines are almost identical.

the furio comes with 165,55,14 steel wheels and the vtr with 185,55,14 alloys so thats probs an extra 10-20kg with all for and the spare.

then the brakes are vented so they weigh more and the calipers are bigger so they weigh more aswell.

are the anti roll bar and torsion bars thicker?
do rear discs,calipers and pads weigh more than drums?
does the vtr have a bigger radiator?

all these little things could add up to the difference in weight.
