F/R weight ratio for a +2

[mn1]

Anyone know what it is?
The Elan's are close enough to 50/50 depending on fuel and occupants but +2 spec. has been elusive so far.
Tks

and you would need 32 pounds as 2 for each wheel with each reading a max of 130 kg

I wanted to take umbrage with that remark but sadly you're right. Nationally, of course and not personally. I'm fortunately the elan version of the average US citizen although, even at 151lbs, my F/R ratio has shifted slightly over the years.

Hi There

When I had my Plus 2S130/5 on the scale I got weights of 405Kg front and 410Kg rear so that's a distribution of 49.7/50.3. That's with all fluids plus 1 gallon of petrol but no driver.

Hope that helps

yes and that is just one of the reasons why the elan is such an awesome car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am a lotus owner since 1990 and everytime I have a spirited drive in it confirms why I love this car so much.
no big SUV's for me thanks but no thanks.
cheers robin

owner of a plus two, a very under rated car but I do not care, it is quite nice to fly under the radar of all the classic car hype nowadays
