RalliartRsX · 10-04-2006, 06:17 PM

Well, I am very keen on the weight of my car for so many reasons (gas mileage, wear and tear on parts, better response, etc.) Granted. my car is not a stripped down racecar as its going to be a daily. But, I am still conscious of weight when I add certain parts and where that weight goes.
I ended up going to the scales just out of curiosity. Was expecting along the lines of ~ 2700 + lbs. Well to my surprise, the car weighed in right at 2700lbs on the dot! Not bad I thought.

Specs:
Car : 92 Coupe
Trim: SE (sunroof, power locks/windows, power steering, no ABS)
Engine: CA
Gas level: Just below half tank

Weight was done without me in the car and about 1/2 tank of gas. I also had a few miscellaneous crap in the back, so, give or take a few lbs for wet weight without me present (I am about 175)

So, what does your car weigh??

Shawn_of_the_Dead · 10-07-2006, 05:02 PM

Weighed mine @ the track recently and it was 2616lbs. with me in it, and about 1/2 or less of gas.

93 Coupe
SR motor
Silvia Conv.
Full Interior w/S14 seats.
93 SE alloys.
w/spare.

I am hoping when this is no longer my daily driver I can get it down to about 2200lbs. I would be happy with that.

-=RS13=- · 10-07-2006, 08:09 PM

I weighed mine a while ago

1220 KG --->2689 lbs

93 Hatch SR20
Stripped back half but had 2 more wheels and tire's in the back, full set of tools, floor jack, full tank of gas.

I am guessing i am close to 2400 lbs with out the extra's.

2550 at the local drag strip

base model s13 coupe w/ ca18det and most of the interior, spare tire, and half tank of gas. 16x8 rota grids w/ azenis (kinda heavy)

RalliartRsX · 10-08-2006, 09:15 PM

Dam, it looks like I have a ways to go to compare to some of you folks weight!!

Hmmm, I wanted a target weight of around 2500+ 50 max wet weight without me in the car. Might be a push considering my car is so plush. But, I am not too far off. Still pretty much have loads of stock equipment (spare tie, jack, rear seats, etc.) which I can probably chuck for not being used.

Bah, we will see.............
