The car is parked away in the garage now, awaiting my next round of changes. Today, however, marked it's last run of the summer with a trip to the next town for a weight session.

I've been keen to find out how much mine weighs. Not because I plan to do much about it, but just curiosity.

I went to TAD motorsport in Selby: https://www.tadmotorsport.co.uk/

£25 for a corner weight, print out, camber check & advice. Great value in my opinion.

So, both my Dad and I, got weighed first. I'm carrying some holiday weight from last year and my Dad has no excuse.



The saxo had 1/4 tank and weighs 880KG without driver.

The setup sheet is really interesting:



The feedback (which is linked to the setup sheet results) shows that it is obviously lop sided, which is to be expected. Ideally a Left hand drive Saxo would be better setup. Damn those Europeans.

The camber on the drivers side is out, so I'll look at that. I use stock top mounts, so maybe I'll invest in some adjustable ones.
The rear, is the also running a different ride height on each side! However ,the camber is good - so the axle is ok.

I was quite suprised to see the rear right is near double the weight of the left.

Anyway, that will become my base reading. Lets see what happens next year!
