What does your car weigh ?

[HOBBS240]

If this is a repost then my bad, but....

Do you guys know what your car weighs? and what model is it?

I'm curious because I have a SR S14 that is fully stripped, and have yet to make it to a truck stop to see what I tip the scales at.

[gunluvS14]

you can ride up to those truck stop by interstate? I always worry about being yell at and looks like an idiot if I pull up with my car

[Element_on_20s]

Mine tips at about 3700 pounds.

I'm also in an Element and are of no help to you.

I'm assuming so. My friend said that is all he did.

My dad is also a regular at one of the Flying J's around here, so maybe I can benefit from that.

[Cloud9]

S13, hatch, SE, manual, 16x8 grids, SR, no front bumper support, 3/4 tank of gas!

full interior
minus
back seats
spare wheel
and jack shit

2650 lbs

[projectRDM]

Steel recycling yards have scales too, pay them $10 and you can weigh in. My old S14 in it's last days hit 2520lbs. before I parted it out. The new one is probably more like 2950. But at least it's quiet.

[YoungGun]

S13 coupe, 2400lb without me in it.

[SexPanda]

1972 datsun 1200 coupe

1600lbs now
hopefully I can get it down to 1400.

[typhoondriven]

1989 s13 coupe full interior, sr, 17' motegis, other shiz, 2780.

[racepar1]

1989 fastback
kade w/5-speed
gutted as a motherfucker
all stock steel body panels
all stock glass

approximately 2400-2450 with 1/2 tank of gas
approximately 2650-2700 with my 250lb fat ass and 1/2 tank of gas

It's been a while since I got the car corner weighted so it may be a bit lighter now. I'm putting all the heater stuff back in though as I am SICK as fuck of fogged up windows. I've got some more gutting to do before the next corner weight too. I've gotten to the point where I am cutting out non-structural metal from various places in the body/chasis as I have nothing left to strip out of the car.

[awesomenick]

I'm not sure if I know you, but if you find a good place to weigh, let me know. I'm UT too.

My car probably weighs a ton.

[sunnys14]

[HOBBS240]

What I was going to do once I got my car registered was to just go down to Flying J or some other truck stop, and see if I could hop on their scale real quick.

[AdamR]

My B14 weighs 2500, completely stock, minus spare tire and tools, including me.

[kuppler8]

You're about 300 lbs too light on those. Those would both be full weight cars.

[Bubbles]

Stock S13 hatch - KA + SR + tons of shit in the backseat.

Hoping to add a few hundred pounds in the form of wheels and tunes by the summer.

[YellowFox]

1998 S14 LE

[steve shadows]

Haha you gotta love the scales at the farm.
My RX-7 (FC) weighed in at 2740 with me and a half tank. This was when I first got it, its now a lot lighter and stil losing a lot of weight.
My bros S14 is about 3000 pounds too, but not as baller as SonomaDrifters
O and my dads Legacy GT is like 3300

I think some people here are making their cars lighter than they really are.

2480 with a little over 1/4 tank of gas

[codunc]

the hatch is sold but i can provide proof on the s14
ill go back and photograph the screen when its a little warmer out.

[drifter_for_life06]

S13 hatch, stripped up to the front seats, 1/2 tank of gas, 14x7 stanza wheels, SR i tipped the scales at 2582

and its a base model, so no sunroof, power mirrors/windows/locks

[turbobrick]

I havent had a chance to weigh the 240 yet, but my volvo weighs 3316 lbs.

[racepar1]

pix or ban i wana see what uve cut lol

Every single bracket that I am not using has been removed (rear seat, seat belts, spare tire, etc...). I gutted the rear bumper support, which saves a shit ton of weight BTW. I gutted the front bumper support, which also saves a shit ton of weight. I need to gut the hood, decklid, and doors before the next corner weight session.

The scale is off, it has to be. A full interior fastback with an rb20 cannot weigh what you claimed. It is impossible. A full interior fastback with an rb20 weighs about as much as you claim that your s-14 weighs and a full interior s-14 with a ka weighs at least 200lbs more then you claim yours does. I know the weights of these cars, even if you take a picture I will still tell you that you are wrong.

[codunc]

comparing it to everyone else's weight, you are probably right.
i guess i'll have to try another scale when i get the chance

[REVGASM]

SR
4pt cusco
Big wheels

2500lbs 3/4 fuel

[Syncade]

S14 SE
Stock everything
Full everything
RB25DET Neo
1/2 Tank

3150

[sillydrift]

95' 240sx base model, all stock, no power door locks, no sunroof, no spare

2860 with me in the car

[orion::S14]

'96 SE

KA-T (that adds a solid ~50lbs, between the intercooler, manifold, turbo, etc...)

2695lbs with less than half a tank.

Weight reduction:

Nothing in the trunk...otherwise, FULL interior.
24lb battery
AL 1-piece driveshaft (12lbs lighter than stock)
lightweight flywheel
sunroof removed (tinted plexi in place of it)
rear seatbelts removed
no airbags
no air conditioning
Sparco EVO2 front seat (fixed mount, no slider...that's extra weight!)
Enkei RPF1 (pretty light for 17x9.5 all around)
...I think that's most the big stuff.

...

I wish it were lighter.

[MrFixIt]

I need to gut the hood, decklid, and doors before the next corner weight session.

Your car is a dedicated track-only car, right?

Gutting the doors on my DD would be to risky/unsafe for me. Hats off to you sir.

[kognition]

2000lb's ;)
Shooting for 1,900 this year

[TanaMU]

my ka-t s13 coupe with full interior, all power options, A/C, koyo rad (much heavier than stock believe it or not), stock wheels, stock body (read: no fiberglass), me (180 lbs), full tank of gas, spare tire, all my tools in the trunk, weighed in at 3100 lbs.

I'm not completely gutting them, the crash bars will still be in them. I'm just removing a few pounds of metal from the inside sheet metal. I won't go to fiberglass doors untill I have a full cage with door bars. My car is pretty much track-only, but even if it was trailered to and from the track I still wouldn't remove the door bars untill I had a full cage with door bars.

Ahh. Makes more sense. Your talking about the inside panel, the one that the handle bolts to etc...

Reminded me of the kid who wanted to make his own aluminum doors w/o any reinforcment/door bars.
