I used to think around 980kg, Haynes manual doesn't state, and is near impossible to find figures on the net!

So had a look at ncap (the crash test people), and there was a Corsa LS 1.2i (1996), and they say it weighs 874Kg! So how much are they then, I'm guessing ncap are correct due to the amount of tests they carry out n stuff!

Would like to compare mine to a normal B when I've got it all kitted out

the interior padding & sound-deddening matts weighed quite a bit! reckon all the interior put together would weigh just as much as another engine & gearbox, if not more!!

They all vary to be honest, i.e. a 1.0 block weighs less than a 1.6. so the car will naturally be lighter. Also some figures include like 2 passengers and luggage, some don't etc...

Best way to find out the weight of your car is to get it weighed at the scrappies.

Compaired to a Nova's 745Kg kerb weight.

The weight you saved pulling out your interior etc will be replaced more by the weight of your weld in cage.
