Hit the scales!

Friend let me get some measurements real quick. Since this was just to see what the car was at, we didnt measure the ground or check for perfect level but he does when he works on race cars there., no biggy, its not a race car but gets some good ideas where its at.

Weights do not include me in the car.



Than removed what I had in the back *except the sub since it would be more of a pain to pull out, but its not that big*



You can compare how much difference the sub box and folding chairs *I forgot to take them out after sevenstock* make when they are out of the car.

Notes
91 S5 coupe w/TII swap + Drivetrain
No front crash bumper
fiberglass front fenders, sideskirts, front bumper+ rear bumper
Full interior
strut bars front and back, front ladder bar
removed rear sway bar
PS, A/C , Battery all intact in original location
About a quarter tank of gas.

Left front has some weight to it. Perhaps due to PS,A/C, Battery etc
Right rear perhaps due to fuel pump, fuel passage and door etc.

Regarding coilover setup, The front left and right are at the same height, so is the rear left and right.
Corner balancing would be great here, sadly I won't be bugging my friend about taking more measurements, oh well, again its a street car.

Is the car gutted at all? Mind listing everything you've got that may change the weight a bit?

not gutted, full interior. Storage bins and cargo cover + the strut bars.
Only thing is no front crash bumper and aluminum hood. I dont think the fiberglass parts would be much different than the metal fenders and original bumpers. But i could be wrong.

*I meant to say the sub box was removed except the amp

Hmmm gets me wondering the weight of my 87TII. Probably close, but less I think.
Regular interior, sunroof, NO audio equipment. No AC, no PS. Single homemade exhaust.

Curious why the front showed alittle more weight after you took the extra stuff out the back of the car.

Can anyone school me on this?

Also at that weight, not gutted, and it being a street car i feel that the total weight is completely fair.
