The results are in! What happens to the weight/weight distribution when you mid-engine swap an Eclispe? GOOD THINGS!

The factory weight/distribution with 1/4 fuel was 2770lbs, 64% front, 36% rear

The new weight/distribution with 3/4 fuel is 2705lbs, 46% front, 54% rear!

That means that, even with more fuel, the car weighs 70lbs less (it’s fully assembled besides the exhaust. That’ll add a few pounds) and is 10% closer to a 50/50 weight distribution. Fantastic results! Now I’m especially excited to get this thing on a back road!

Did you add wheel wells in the back or is it still open?

Ooh this sounds real good! I can't remember off the top of my head, but those factory numbers, we're those taken with the new brakes on?

Wow thats awesome🤟🤟. To be honest I thought with all the tube work you did in the back it would be heavier. But thankfully I was wrong. Great job on the project 👏
