Anybody weigh their cars?
I just weighed mine last night, 2700 loaded without me in it. Thats with full tank, full interior and a spare tire.
Im curious what other FC guys have weighed in at.

I'm expecting my FP car to weigh about 2250#. Its totally stripped and really naked looking, but I like it like that. INside it only has an aluminum seat, 4 pedals including the dead pedal and a steering wheel. The guages will be mounted in a few weeks but will not add anything substantial to the weight.

anyone have any good tricks for lightening up these beasts? I don't have air cond but I'm thinking of removing the air pump. Anyone know how much the spare tire and jack weigh?

I'll never understand why the RX-7, which is so damn small, only a two seater, and has plenty of aluminum components (suspension, etc) and has such a tiny engine, weighs so much more than other cars like Civics, (2300) Tempos, etc.
Damn- what I could do with a 500lb weight reduction!! Can you say 13's??
The GTU is 300 lbs lighter??? Holy %^it!!
I have full EVERYTHING... execpt air pump.
+ 16" rims and 225's
+ Ground effects
+ wiring (stereo, and others)
+amps, stereo, and sub box- only 8"
In a 1990 GXL. (The heaviest N/A made)
I don't even want to know.

with my new 87 base, I hope to stay below 2200 lbs, and have a pretty quick ride. So far, the whole interior is ripped out, and we are in the stage of weight reduction right now on it. I will keep you all posted on how my FREE rx7 is doing.

comparing a civic to an FC, civic are built to achieve good fuel compsumtion and stuffs, that's why it's light weight and efficient.
