Aircon weighs a ton.
As do V6 brakes, it affects the unsprung weight/handling alot. I.e mine was better with smaller brakes

hummm the 2ltr may hinder your progress but cant see why you wont get 900kg.

brakes are heavy and yes they do affect the unsprung weight but that is a trade off for better stopping power

Rob im not sure, but the compresser unit i think weighs at least 10kg on its own.
Thats not inclusing the other heavy bit plus radiator and pipework. Id say around 25KGs but that is a guess
