Curb Weight

I have an 87T2 w/ power windows and a sunroof--no p/s or leather or pdl--what should my car weigh in at empty? How about if i remove my airpump, what does that weigh?

I also tossed the stock exhaust for full RB, that should make it lower.

Air pump..

...wieghs like 8-10 from the feel of it, definately not 20. A/C and power steering weigh alot b/c you remove alot of components (condensor, compressor, reciever/drier), and there is alot of metal hosing too...

I don't know about yours, but my a/c and ps bracket wieghs like 3 lbs, it's alluminum. My air pump bracket is steal but it's only a curved "arm" that holds the pump, and weighs 3 lbs or so... but yeah removing ALL the minor stuff will eventually make an impact =)

Well, i havent taken off the stuff on my FC, but i have been helping my friend swap motors on his first gen, and i couldnt believe how heavy his a/c brackets where-

The only thing i've taken off my TII is the Airpump, and it was heavy too, so i figured my brakets would be heavy too-

my bad-
