so i was looking at my car today and noticed the 350 lb weight limit written on the drivers door jam. Was the car origonally sprung for thismuch weight? or is the value of 350lbs based on something else?

 

If you weigh more than 350 lbs., you need to go on a diet.

Haha I noticed that too the other day. But isn't it 350lb, including a passenger and any cargo? It doesn't seem like much... I would guess that this number is how much the car was meant to support on stock suspension.

 

yes that is for passanger, driver and cargo. lol ofcorse its not much who puts **** in their sports car?

 

Somebody who lives in it?

 

I've moved with my car. Had a TV, stereo system, and as many boxes as I could fit into the hatch and passenger seat. It was sacked out.

 

When moving, I had somebody in teh passenger seat *150* then me *150* and some random things in the back, and I never noticed anything, lol

 

^^^ You can always count on honest advice from Ted!

The figure is for the maximum rated suspension load. It's not saying your car can't support more weight, but that it's suspension system was designed to have a maximum of 350 lbs passenger/cargo weight added. If you add more, the suspension will be out of it's design limits and will not work as well.

I can and have fit everything I own in my FC and I could still see out the back. That hatch is great. Though most of my personal junk isn't that heavy (clothes, computer and what not), and I'm pretty light, so I don't think I hit the weight limit.

Point A to point B while having fun, it carries anything I toss in it, and mine's been holding up pretty reliably. Gotta love it as a DD.

 

I couldn't imagine driving a 7 if you weighed more than 350. I'm 220 and it's a squeeze getting in and out.

 

I know a guy who is about 300, and I think he'd break my poor sports car!

 

I've driven an FC with too much weight in it. Doesn't feel good.

 

ya im abou 230 and my best friend is around 250 i suppose ill just have to have little asian girls as my passengers

 

i go to work with a co-worker, and we take the 7 all the time, im 250 and hes 325, just big dudes, no proplems, sept it pulls....haha
