How light can a s13 get?

w/out a bath

I'v only got mine to 2605lbs just striping. And plan on 100lbs more.

[JeromeS13]

It all depends on how much time/money you're willing to spend. Another 100 lbs is very reachable.

What did you strip off the car to get it down to 2605lbs? I took off the back seat, passenger seat, spare tire & jack, and carpet, but my s13 still weighed in at 1700lbs.

^ 2700lbs?

Anyone remember the website where they weighed everything they stripped out of an S13? I forget how much the car weighed afterwards.

Think your just thinking off the interior and hood though.

[babowc]

i bet it can reach 2300-2400s, thats with stripping everything down to lightest parts.cf hood, cf doors, cf hatch, lexan for windows, aluminum driveshaft(?), interior, accessories on the motor, random and miscellaneous stuff..

[Poor_S13_Driver]

one of those guys said he eliminated like 100LBS of usless wires, with a custom made harness...DRIFT UNIT is it http://www.driftunit.com/V2/html/main_team.html click on Mike Gentile S13, im sure you could contact him about the harness, if you are really serious about the weight

[Poor_S13_Driver]

60LBS excuse me

[Florida240sx]

started to say 100lbs is quite a bit of wires....

[Poor_S13_Driver]

even 60 though... all you need is some creative thinking like that though...

[GlacierFreeze]

Being able to remove 60lbs of wiring is funny lol!

[Poor_S13_Driver]

Yea.. i scratched my head when i first read that, but whatever works eh

[Dustin240]

I Removed the

AC ,back seats, All the carpet and that rubber crap, all the panels in the rear, rear speaker brackets, power seat belt motors, spare tire and all that useless little stuff. That's it. Added spray on bed liner to, looks good.

[Dustin240]

I'll keep going to 2400lbs. I have like 300hp to=very fast and hell in the rain.

[thekawaii]

I say 2200 lbs.

300 lbs by removing stock parts

possibly another 100 lbs by replacing doors, hood, trunk, side mirror, fenders to carbon fiber

lighter wheels, flywheel, drive shaft can give you another.... about 50 lbs diet?

Never knew who that white/gold S13 belonged to. That is THE cleanest coupe Ive seen online...

[shockload]

my coupe complete minus bumper support and spare tire comes in at 2600. the lightest wheels are probalyy stock 15s . i had it pretty well stripped as far as inner fenders and stuff but thats mabe 25-30lbs and im sure my turbo setup has made back that wight plus some.

[Poor_S13_Driver]

IWannaS15...yes... i have been in love with that car for the past year.. Im trying to model my coupe after that one minus the SR though .....umm Dustin240... maybe im lost but if your worried about weight...why did you add spray in bedliner?

[onosqv]

are these numbers u guys are coming up w/ the actual weight of ur 240 (i.e. you brought it somewhere and had it weighed)? or are you guys just taking the stock website curb weight & subtracting stuff?

Reason I bring this up is because, for example, the 240 vert is listed as 2800lbs, I weighed in @ just over 3100 stock. The 2800lbs is dry weight (no gas, no fluids, etc). So I was curious to see what everyone's coupes & hatches weigh.

That's a good link, has anyone actually weighed their cars tho?

[hek1620]

i weighed my '89 hatch not long ago. she broke the scale at 2840. thats with a 1/4 tank, everything from the b pillars back gutted(except for the top part of the back seat and speaker racks), kae-t, about 150lbs. worth of system in the back, and some quarts of oil.

[hannibal]

^ dude, pull the subs out before you weigh her...

Thats the link I was trying to remember Cory

poor_S13, I dont know what it is about that car, but it really intrigues me. Its just built so perfectly which no shortcuts (or expense spared). And the white with gold trim/accents is a rare look IMO.

[hek1620]

i wanted to weigh her the way i race her.

[onosqv]

i wanted to weigh her the way i race her.

racing w/ a full sound system, HELLLL YEEAAAA; that's what I'm talking about brother!!!

Kind of sad though that your car w/ full sound system & turbo weighs significantly less than my vert stock, hahaha.

[hek1620]

yeah, but i bet ur not thinking of my car when ur ripping 100mph+ with the top down!! anyways, i like to think that the heavy box just aft the shock towers helps me squat the suspension prior to launch.

[elpiar]

does swapping to sr20det actually save some weight because it's aluminum block?

yes...

[lrb_2000]
