weight of a late type 3?
just wondering if anyone has the weight figures for a late fasty/square?
just interested in how they compare to a beetle. I've heard figures round the 1100kg mark for them. Is this true?

yeah, but that's not a real figure. My beetle was spose to weigh 780kg stock and I guarantee it was never that light. My buggy with a subaru engine
and a 100kg body and stuff is an honest 900kg without me in it but ready to drive. I know that's a little heavy for a buggy but that's reality.

dunno, but he had a tle fasty (ex tle by then) and a stock square, both late model. he reckoned the fasty was a nicer car, but it was noticably
heavier. He put it down to more metal in the rear pillars and such.

both cars had same motors, interior etc, but the fasty didn't go as hard. both were well tuned and looked after. I know you're gonna say, the square
had a lower 1st gear, and that's true, but even still he reckoned the fasty was heavier. More metal and heavier construction in the fasty he said.
Which adds up with peops comments about squares warping with non-aircooled conversions unless they are well braced.
BTW, he called his square, "the slug"

I had a TLE fasty and it accelerated much faster than my square but it did have a slower top end.
Only reason the squares are less rigid is coz of the design of the high roof area at the back and no firewall sort of thing like the notch and fasty.

Troy is yet to put his car on the scales but with all the extra engine mounts bracing, turbo, intercooler, Dry sump tank, manifolds, oil coolers and
extra gearbox mounts plus all that is inside the car he roughly figures the car to weigh close to if not heavier than 1200kg easy. So running 13.66@
102mph or something to that degree with only 168HP atw aint bad so considering it now has just over 230hp atw should be interesting to see the
difference in times.

in summary,
1971- unladen weights : sedan 1010kg squareback 1035kg
1967- unladen weights : sedan ( fastback) 920kg squareback 950kg
According to the factory / manuals, the squareback was always 25-30kg heavier than the sedan/fastback.
