It's an 92 SE. RB25 swap. Full interoir.

Well as it sits with me (170lbs) in the car and an empty tank of gas. 3060 lbs

I have a few items in the car that probably adds up to 10-15 lbs. If I were to go fill up I will probaly gain 80-100 lbs in weight just from the fuel (@ 8lbs/gallon)

So I now have an idea what kinda weight I am hauling around. I think I need to put the car on a diet. CF hood/replace the glass panel in the roof a Fiberglass peice/Strip from the front seats back. Lighter battery

Not bad. I'm wondering what mine weighs. I've got a S14 w/2JZ. Before with my SR I was 2750lbs. The 2JZ is heavier plus it's auto. I just want to be under 3,000 (w/o driver).

I haven't weighed with an RB.

But for anyone who's interested, here's some info on my stock S13 with no back seats, no driver/passenger, and an empty tank.

2700 Lbs.

I would like to keep the car under 3k after I drop the 26 in.. but I really don't know.... =/

fiberglass...the manual trans with the RB helped a bit since it was an automatic ka when I got it. The rb20's really aren't any bit heavier than a KA, maybe 40lbs I'd guess; that is of course after I removed the a/c too..hehe.

a/c removal or moving the battery to the trunk would prolly get a s13 back to stock weight and weight distribution

I've been really indecisive about it. Just scored a decent job so I'm keeping the project rolling. ETA on completion is about 4-6 months. :P

You just put a huge smile on my face. Is all of the body stock? I mean, CF hood, fenders, etc?

Not bad... the stock specs on your car (mine as well) from Autotrader research says 2730 curb weight...

Def of curb weight is - Weight of a ground vehicle including fuel, lubricants, coolant, and on-vehicle materiel, excluding cargo and operating personnel

It sure would be nice if they made normal fenders in fiberglass or carbon... I'm not a fan of the widebody thing. At least a CF hood is still worth a fair share since the stocker is a lead weight
