That matches up with what my BB4 weighed, 1250KG with a full tank.

Re: Refurbed rocker cover and new seals.

Got round to fitting the refurbed rocker cover today along with new gaskets and seals :)

On the doiwnside ive got an intermittent electrical fault - narrowed it down to possible loose connection at the ecu or in the ecu so i might have to fit the spare standard ecu and will probably removed the sppon vtec controller as its not longer needed.
Ive also got a spare main relay and alternator if required. Im hoping it will be an easy fix :? Its not a big issue but it does stall out at idle but starts up again no problem.

Next up after that is a new flywheel and clutch - thinking atr clutch exedy/oem and atr flywheel. :)
