I think jr's got his to something like 768kg. But it's never worked since IIRC.

Must have been the de-engineing that caused it.

Surely that would effect the load on the axle distribute the weight more evenly and that?

You've picked up a litre tin of paint though? It takes what... 5 litres to spray a Corsa, plus the lacquer, and that's on the wheels and engine block too. You could save 10kgs
