Public weighbridges are listed in Road Maps and on WhereIs, Google Maps, etc

Weighing your car means didly though
The tare weight is the weight the factory says your car is... not what you weigh it at

So me stuffing a big block in a Torana and saying its X weight means nothing
they go off the factory weight to calculate your tyre sizes, stopping distances , max engine capacity

Unless you needed the weight for another reason of course

he's gettin his suspension and supporting parts engineered so that's probably why he needs the car's weight... so they can determine the force acting on the parts and whether they will withstand the pressure.

i think

yeah ^^^ engineer didnt say anything about why i needed it, i think its stupid! waste of time i have quality parts even the engineer was impressed by all my cusco suspension arms coils ect

on a side note anyone know where to complain about pits being unfair on extensions/not signing off on stuff that they should
