s13 @ fullboost · 06-21-2009, 04:19 PM

5t341tH · 06-21-2009, 04:36 PM

is that with u in the car or no?

DreamN · 06-21-2009, 04:38 PM

^ good question, but doubtful. S13 LE hatches are pigs in comparison to other models. They come with all options and are typically HICAS as well. Just adds more to the weight.

Someone weigh their stock base model coupe, preferably 89. Really curious about the actual weight difference.

Why are there so many smart mouths on this forum. I rarely post. If you don't like the information, then I will delete this post.

No. This is just the car by itself.

You may know this, but there may be others that do not know. I figure this would be great technical information as numbers get "thrown" out there without any documentation to prove their statements.

blackrms13 · 06-21-2009, 04:43 PM

i thought it was very informative...apparently not everyone agrees with me

Numbers will still get thrown out there considering there are many variables. One major one being that there are coupes as well. I appreciate the post though. It's good info to have.

Bigsyke · 06-21-2009, 04:50 PM

Where did you find this "weight station"? Very interesting

Sergio180sx · 06-21-2009, 04:50 PM

Probably the MOST important 'spec' of a performance car is the weight.

And this guy took the time to post 100% stock weights, both with an empty tank AND full.

It's good info, people...lay off.

I weighed it at home. Purchased a corner weight system $$$ to work on my car and several other friends. Thought it would be informative for everyone else whom is interested in documented data.

240trooper · 06-21-2009, 05:59 PM

wow my car is like 600 pounds lighter lol

I'm glad you posted the numbers, thank you.

C. Anderson · 06-21-2009, 06:20 PM

Also this car is auto. I wonder how much lighter a 5 speed model is.

On 'real' scales, or junkyard/dump/scrapyard scales?

If 'Longacre', or any scales that are 4 pieces (one under each tire)...then...specs on the car?

Scales you drive onto are notoriously inaccurate at lower weights (less than ~5000lbs).

bigOdom1 · 06-21-2009, 07:15 PM

so now that it is corner weighted go out to the local autox or trackday and put that to good use.

damn i want to corner balance mine.

zenki.life · 06-22-2009, 04:55 AM

interesting however widely known.

CBS · 06-22-2009, 04:57 AM

full gutted rb25 kouki s14,

1,600ish pounds

we had to have guys sit on the trunk so we could get enough weight to smog it.

lflkajfj12123 · 06-22-2009, 05:04 AM

1600ish pounds?

i don't believe that

CBS · 06-22-2009, 05:06 AM

thats what it said when I went to smog it. was in the higher 1600's

cf hood trunk no interior except dash and 1 seat lightweight rims

fully gutted everything

almost empty gas tank

I might be wrong but thats what I saw on the meter when they weighed it and we had to have guys sit on the car to match up the weight

lflkajfj12123 · 06-22-2009, 05:16 AM

thats pretty crazy if its true

i don't expect to see a sub 2k s14

QuickSpoolSR · 06-22-2009, 06:22 AM

1600, no way

Brian.. While this is important for the development of the car. 240 owners don't understand weight. They have that "My S13 weighs 2500lbs" syndrome just because they put race seats in and took out some interior bits. They don't know they gained it all back when they threw on some 17" rota's in all the wrong areas. Guys fudge their own car's weight more than their girlfriends fudge their own. If 240 owners ever figured out how 200lbs off chassis weight and 40 lbs off unsprung weight makes their cars handle soo much better. they'd forget about all the crap manufacturers peddle. Instead they'll debate strut bars and how much better dking vs stance vs maxstreet supper power coilovers handle with no track times to back it up.
