That's rude. Just like a lady, you should never ask a M30 it's weight :P

Hahaha :D

Best way to work out the displacement is to divide the area into easier sections and work out the volume that way. You then multiply the total volume by 63.4 (weight of water in psi) Ask Rav as he declared his M30 conversion so will have already been through this process :thumb:

It was just a matter of interest (and suspension adjustment) because I am putting in the M60 v8 which I know is all aluminium and 203kg regards
