Wow, a lot heavier than I thought.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

It's that damn spoiler!

[mattblancarte]

That's pretty decent weight distribution.

2800 lbs is about where I'm at with me in the car and 3/4 tank of gas.

[240sxFTW]

dont auto trannys weigh a significant amount more than manuals? just curious.

That's what I figured also.

So with a driver, the car is well over 3000 lbs then. That's a lot heftier than I always had in mind. Good thread.

Now I don't feel so bad that my car weighed in right under 2900 lbs last time I scaled it with 3/4 of a tank.

^ and thats a vert, imagine a coupe... round 26 with gas?

[Spiffy240]

no way a coupe ways 300 pounds less, i would say about 150 lessbut hell, i can tell you the auto trans is prob close to double the weight of a manual transi can toss a manual trans no problem, but an auto trans not so much...

but hell, if you take off rear wiper motor, do s14 seatbelts and take out all electronics with old s13 seat belts, ac system completely, manual swap, all rear interior w/ donut, and clean up the engine bay of all miscellaneous connection, you could end up shaving approx. 250-300 lbs. Which is SIGNIFICANT IMO.not to mention getting lighter seats, carbon fiber bs, this can go on, and on, and on.......

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

if im not mistaken stock for stock the coupe is 320 lbs less or that may be from coupe to vert...

[xX RB Xx]

well the op just needs to find a coupe and weigh it.

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

OP find a coupe!

[xX RB Xx]

also it needs to have the same options as the hatch.. so there are no discrepancy(s)

[mattblancarte]

^ and thats a vert, imagine a coupe... round 26 with gas?

With gas, minus my weight, my coupe is right at about 2615 lbs. I do have a cage and an rb26, though. I can imagine my car at 2450lbs if I had an SR.

[xX RB Xx]

we will never know

[Spiffy240]

wow, didnt know coupes were that much lighter....

my mistake, damn i want a coupe now...

[sebazztard]

the less weight on the coupe is very noticable, its the only thing i miss from that sale.

[Nali]

Looks like wikipedia fails again.

[HoosierSX]

2900 is heavy...

my sr'd hatch tipped the scales at 2430lbs

[Bumnah]

with half a tank of gas my s13 weighed in at 2540

sr swapz32 rimsgutted everything behind the front seatsno stereo or speakersz32 uprightsharmonic weight removed from sub framespec 2 exhaustno ac or ac lines

switch an aluminum drive shaft shave another 8 - lbs

carbon fiber hood and hatch with lexan hatch window. i can get it to 2700 or under with driver and gas.

then i'll add a cage and be back to where i am.

[MastaYu]

nice thread

[midnight91]

one thing i worry about with gutting the car is wouldnt it be way to loud for regular driving? i can understand for a track car but i use my 240 as a fun summer car i guess you would say and my honda is my winter beater i dont want a car thats obnoxious to ride around in

[Justin35ll]

Mine was 2560 with me in the car. So 2400 flat.

Nope. Quoting wikipedia "A gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum allowable total weight of a road vehicle or trailer when loaded - i.e including the weight of the vehicle itself plus fuel, passengers, cargo, and trailer tongue weight." We're talking curb weight here.

Do you have any idea how many stickies this forum already has? There wouldn't be any room left for regular threads!
