what does a pinto weigh?

[stevepeanut]

anyone know?

[Fiesta Steve]

Approx 120kg depending on whats bolted to it.

[stevepeanut]

so it would go it the boot of a day to day car ok, it cant be any heavier than 2 passengers in the back seat

Its probably lighter than 2 fully grown fattys But only just

 

The only problem is that all the weight is in a small area, I had a crossflow fall through the wooden board in the boot of my old Toyota as I had no spare wheel under it. Might be a good idea to put something under it, like a bit of wood ?? to spread the load a bit.

[Grizzley Dell]

my advice. strap it down somehow.

[Copey]

mate of mine stuck a pinto in the spare wheel well of his capper

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

should be ok if not the car you put it in isnt much good

 

i had one in back of a lada and i had one in front passenger floor of my mk2 escort(i took passenger seat out)lol

[Fishtailparka]

Picked my new pinto up in a Rover 200. Wouldn't know it was in there mate.

Until you crash and it jumps on your back

[Fishtailparka]

Well I didn't crash, and it has caused more injuries since then while sat on my didning room floor. People keep walking into it.

Anyway, how do you know it wasn't wearing a seatbelt while in the car?

[mk1mexico]

Anything can happen. a friend of mine got a ticket for no seatbelt, but he had his chinese takeaway strapped in the passenger seat

[tom28]

haha, they do weigh a ton though loaded one on transit when i sold mine n boy it was heavy all 3 of us where lifting, and im no mr muscle at all..

[Fishtailparka]

Here's a question then.

My new pinto is a 2.1 and a bit. Overbored with offset ground crank and xflow rods.

Ported efi head with bigger inlet valves fitted. FR32 cam and all the new bits involved with that. lightened flywheel. Modified 32/36 sat on a modified inlet manifold. All put together by someone very clever with these things. It will be put into a Mk1 Capri.

The Rover 200 I mentioned is in fact a Rover BRM and does set off pretty rapid when I try.

 

Question is, will the pinto accelerate faster in the Capri than it did in the Rover?

[Copey]

yes, lol

You are both absolutely correct, Pinto's are rock ard old lumps of iron and DO have the power to hold ships back............

 

By comparison, XE's Zetecs etc are pretty little bits of jewellery...............something like this maybe:

 

 

[Copey]

if pintos are so heavy all you escort boys stick with your little crossflows and leave the pintos for us capri lads!

That's quite obv the winner of the boat anchor award and we all know what that is , the Essex v6 DUN DUN DUN DUN DUN DAAAAAAAA (shower of confette, pyrotechnics going off ect ect, lumpy old V6 weezes up to take the award,

" i'd just (cough cough weeze) like to (splutter plutter) thank god and baby jesus (silence as it runs out of petrol and falls aspleep at the mic)".

stupidly the organisers had only provided the Essex with 4 gallons of fuel to make the 5 yard move to the mic and back DOH

[Noodles]

I heard pintos have such a huge gravitional pull cos of their mass they dont move the car they just pull the plant around the car.

Oh booger...

PMSL.....very true though, and I should know!!

[banarama]

[mk1super]

if pintos are so heavy all you escort boys stick with your little crossflows and leave the pintos for us capri lads!

 

Cos that 21 stone odd engine makes our escorts so much faster than your capris

 

Nowt wrong with a x flow either
