Weighed my HICAS car today...

[c-rad]

2,620 pounds.

Now, either the scale is just plain WRONG or... the car is lighter because of the following--

base hatch instead with no spoiler or rear wiperno spare tireno glove box1/4 tank of gasNo AIV assemblyNo heatshieldNo clutch fan assembly or shroudNOTHING extra in the car (spare change, garbage, etc...)

What do you think? Get it weighed again somewhere else?

[sensibleS13driver]

yeah that seems a little low, where can you go about getting your car weighed? I'd be interested in doing that unless its super expensive.

Well, that doesnt sound too terrible wrong according to my scaled, though I dunno about the Hicas, my mods are:Air filter mod, removed AIVRemove spare tire15" x7" Enkei Wheels- Im guessing about 4 lbs lighter than stock each2.5" stainless exhaustSilvia Front with K's Aero bumper and sheet metal... aero grill instead of silvia grillKouki tails (same weight?)No spoiler, no interior hatch cover

And I weighed in at 2660.

It was free. I did it at a salvage yard where they weigh you on the way in and out. I think I am going to weigh it somewhere else anyway just for the heck of it to see. The place is kind of shoddy so I doubt it's been calibrated anytime recently.

Truck stops are more accurate. Just find a set of KAT scales at a major truck stop.

.... now that would be interesting to see......... a 240sx in a line of semi trucks

[vvaffle]

Anyone know who can weigh the weight on every individual wheel?

[SmithSR]

Use caution when using a truck scale, as they are calibrated to be closest to accurate at much much much heavier weight than 2600 lb.

There is a scale for cars at the dragstrip here. I can use that next time I head down there. Also, there is a shop in town that can corner weigh the car for $50 Last resort I guess I can do that.

[Onizuka]

Yes, remember that scales are optimized for certain weight ranges. Using truck scales is kind of like trying to measure an apple on a bathroom scale.

Intresting, do you have to have a KA-T to use one of these KAT scales

[Veriest1]

Agricultural stores also tend to have scales for wieghing ferilizer spreaders and such.

either a lawn center that has a scale to weigh rock(like tyo drive in get weighed, then get weighed on the way out and the difference is how much they harge you. or go to the dump, once again both these scales are more towards large trucks or semi's, but the landscapes place should be better, they are setup for around 7-8k lbs
