what is a 1st Gens Gross Weight?
 
Hey Everybody,

I was wondering if any of you 1G owners could tell me what your Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) is on the driver door sticker.

TIA

I dunno about my '80, but it's 3400lb on my '85, 1700lb per axle. I have yet to weigh the car to find out how much it actually weighs, but I guesstimate it at around 2500lb. (GSL model w/PS, aftermarket exhaust) That makes for 700lb of load capacity in addition to the weight holding the pedals down :D and it's safe to say that I've gone over that.

thanks for the replies, I was just going over some stuff in my head about doing a 2nd Gen or 3rd Gen 13B swap into a 1st Gen Rx7.

the vehicle weights on most online sources like www.cars.com and www.edmunds.com are sometimes *way* off from what it says on the car's door sticker.

Hey Steve ! Dude do you weigh 145Kg ??? Man !
I weigh in at 70Kg ! (let me drive youre car and it will do a 10 easy :) ....lol )

My car, on a weigh bridge test for the engineer report came in at 1065kg (2350lb)

With me in it, it's 1135kg (2500lb) !

Mate, when you circuit race weight is more of an issue than at a super model photo shoot :)

I found out I could go quicker around a track by over 1.5 seconds without doing more car mods simply by taking 25kg of myself !
