FC CG height
Hi guys,
I'm trying to figure out what is center gravity height of non-turbo FC from quite a long time now. Unfortunately I cant find this information.
Could You help me please ?

I don't know that this information is out there. Though there is a way to determine it experimentally. It requires scales and a little bit of free time.

Thanks for the quick reply, yes I know this method, unfortunately I dont have the car yet so I cant use it.
Im comparing this car with several others, on that basis will decide which I should buy

Let's put it this way: about 95% of the engine is under your knees while sitting in the car. Then along with that you have the weight of the trans and drivetrain even lower.

Yea I get ya. Like Jerry said, it's really hard to find a manufacturer released number for that, but I'm sure out of all the ASE papers Mazda released, it must be somewhere!

thanks for the link, and a hint...
Hm, and maybe someone know what is the difference compared to the previous version (1st gen I mean) I have seen such publications for other cars, and I know CGH of 1st gen.
