620kgs  I'd like to see proof 
well my last corsa was stripped out with 17's and c16xe and weighed 820kg's. lee's nova has carbon doors, fibreglass boot and bonnet, and the fact its a nova it only weighs about 800kg's standard... no reason why its not going to be around that weight..
Nova's weigh in the region of 725-775 standard. I also have a very light nova, but when you factor in that his car is running 16" wheels, a 16v engine and a full cage i doubt its much below 700kg's. I reckon mines about the same.

non pas is heavyer than pas? including the pump tanks pipes etc? sure? main reason its going is more space in the engine bay, no need for it so its something less to go wrong.
