Does anyone know the weight of the rear subframe on an elise /exige?
When I was rear-ended by a pick-up truck I was very glad impressed with the design and subsequent performance of that piece.seriously. Maybe a redesign or different material?
toyota motor and tranny add 100lbs from rover Elise/exigeCouldn't you compare the weights of the Euro S2 (pre-111R) to a Fed Elise, then replace the Fed's Toyota motor weight (198lbs?) to get a good estimate of the whole dry subframe? The differences otherwise between the two are easily found in various strip-down threads here (crash/bumper regs, airbags, ABS).
