I think I have a friend with a totally bare chassis. I'll talk to him and see what I can do about borrowing some scales too.

That would be amazing. Please let me know if you can.

The main reason this has sparked my interest is because I junked an Mk3 supra the other day. It had a little rust and I didn't want to fix it and the owner of E-town gave me another one anyway. So I totally stripped it for spare parts and selling the crap and took it to scrap. It only weighed 550lbs. And being 3500lbs stock, that really surprised me. So that's why I was really curious as to what an S13 would weigh.

Def, if that number for the E36 is right and then comparing it with the Supra number, I could see the 240 bare chassis being definitely sub-500, maybe low to mid 400.
