So...my car's a boat.

[Sean]

I weighed my car about a week ago. Much to my dismay, I was only 20 lbs shy of 3000 pounds - with me in it! Nothing was taken out of the car, my A/C is gone and that's about it. Still had a good deal of stuff in my car. I was pretty disappointed in my car's weight!

Course, my F/R distribution was pretty decent

2980 lbs total
1520 front
1460 rear

That's with a full tank, one passenger and no A/C. Quite intersting, actually. So I was thinking I should remove my trunk tar, and the tar under my back seat. But - would this REALLY make a difference - other than upsetting my F/R balance? (even though I could make up for it with my suspension).

Just found it intersting and thought I'd share. :)

Fatty mcfat fat.

Check your diving boards for lead.

Curb weight: 2765 lbs (2-door)
(info as per strictlyeta)

So you weigh around ~250. (No AC)

No sorry, I don't.

I weight 180.

Just because the curb weight is 2765 doesn't mean that's what my weighed in at without me.

Without me, it was 2800 on the dot.

Does the fact that it's a stroker have anything at all to do with the weight?

Nah, if anything, there was weight lost in the engine since I had my rotational mass balanced and he removed some material.

But - other than that - it's pretty much stock I head and stock SuperEta Bottom end.

get rid of the trunk tar - easily done. under seat - not as easy - I have yet to chisel that out.

[DEV0 E30]

I suck at teh funnays today, my entire post was sarcastic. I remember your stroker thread, you didn't look 250.

The sound deadening under the carpet in my old eta came out really easy, of course I found cocaine in that car so who knows how many times the thing was stripped down.

How much loss we talkin? 50-70 lbs?

[Dave]

trunk - is 45-50 IIRC

[chuckybob]

you + passenger = 300+lbs, thats where the weight is coming from

[Sean]

Yea, it was only me though. lol


And, I wasn't sure if you were being sarcastic or not, DEV0...lol And yes, I definately don't look that big.

My car weighs 2800 on the dot with me in it. 2960 with me in. Your weigh seems about normal to me.

It just seems sooo heavy.

Makes me a saaad panda....

[nando]

diving boards are heavy too, swap to plastics. I think it's about a 25lbs difference.

I'm curious what my car weighs... it never had trunk tar or anything like that though.

[ldsbeaker]

Me too. I'll see if I can weigh the diving boards after I take them off next week.. OR... maybe I'll weigh it this week, then again next week... hmmmm...
I weigh 220 though... :( (6'4" FTL)
