Alright,

I have seen the 79-80 RX7 listed at a curb (dry) weight of 2200. Elsewhere Ive seen it at 2450. Does anyone know the stock 79-80 weight? Driving me crazy.

go drive on a scale if you have to know so bad.
im sure that there is a couple hundred pound flux between certain options, full tank of gas,.........
every car is different.

 

Thoise weights probably vary depending in whether it had A/C, 4spd trans or 5spd trans or A/T trans.

 

I think my registration says 2400, but I'll have to check for sure.

S (4 speed) 1065kg (2350 lbs)
GS (5 speed) 1080kg (2345 lbs)
GS (auto) 2420 lbs
GS (auto) 2410 lbs (Calif)

 

How can I get it on a truck scale? Do they just let you up on one?

 

go to a feed supply one that has hay

 

a lot of recyclers have drive on scales for weighing metal.

 

Sorry, to get on a truck scale, the truck needs to be weighed 1st, then the car loaded on the truck and reweighed. FBs aren't allowed on scales.

If you believe that, I have some swampland for sale.

 

My fellow RX 7 racer and I went to a moving company. I don't remember what they charged, but it wasn't much. My 79 (very stripped out) was 1963 lbs. His 82 gsl was a bit lighter. Call ahead to make sure it is available.

 

I don't know about you guys but the local dumps(disposal sites) weigh the trucks that go in and out. Why not just go to one of those if you have them in your area.

 

I don't know about Chicago, but when I type in
"san mateo, ca truck scale" in google all kinds of places come up.

The few that I know about around here are 24x7 outside with nobody watching
them. You can just drive up and look at the scale and not pay anything.

 

yeah we just go to the dump. full tank of gas makes the measurement repeatable

 

I wouldn't trust this for a second if they can't get the conversion right. 1080kg is not lighter in pounds than 1065kg.

...and I'm not sure what I'm doing in the 1st gen forum. thank you.

 

Near Elston and Armitage and belive North Ave. just east of Damen. Both junk sites have scales you could drive on.

 

Great tips guys! There is a solution on this site for just about everything! Even something as trvial as weight!
