You tried to stick that up your ***?

Dude. You're supposed to weigh cars with that.
No wonder it hurt. Are you OK?

Scott, who got a 50.5% cross on the CRX just by guessing at ride heights (Don't hate me because I'm beautiful).

It was at 50.4% when I rolled it on. Those last tenths are the really tough ones. I hope I remember to connect my swaybars before next weekend.

Those things have a better weight distribution than I thought.

Yeah, it's not far off with driver, which is pretty cool. Front/rear gets better with a full tank, this was just under 2.5 gallons in the tank which is as low as I feel comfortable getting in case the filter on the pump rattles itself loose. It was probably even better with 10 pounds of cool shirt cooler and water back in the trunk but I moved it to the passenger floor for better left/right distribution, lower CG and easier access, not necessarily in that order. Plus I only weigh about 180 suited up, which helps a lot. There are a lot of club racers out there with a lot of built-in de-wedge.

It didn't change at all with me in it, really. It was actually hovering right around 50.1% with the ballast in it and before I took it off the scales after the final adjustment that got it there I took all the ballast out of the driver's seat and driver's footwell and sat in it with my helmet on and it actually stayed more solidly at 50.0, and the calculator said it was closer too.

Yeah, without me in it it weighs 2124 or so. Without ballast or water in the cool shirt tank it weighs about 2075.
