i weighed my 87 TII today at the track and it came in at 2800 and its compleatly gutted no AC no PS WTF!! thats heavy.. is that an average weight?

 

thats how much my TII weighs with everything in it lol

 

i know thats fucked up i mean i do have a roll cage but its not that heavy, mybe there scale was fucked up

 

i think my N/A weighs a little less than that....
i weighed it at the farm during the summer...lol
i onyl think it was like a hundred difference though..

 

i heard that the lightest fc was the 86

 

Uh, full tank of gasoline? ~6 pounds per gallon, 16 gallons... 96 pounds

The A/C and PS only account for about 60 pounds anyway (minus the rack itself).

TIIs are way beefier than NAs, too.

 

better than ma drop top... 3003 lbs

 

I haver an 88' TII gutted like yours without a rollcage though, Im at 2400lbs.

 

2600 pounds for mine.. 85 TII from japan.. took out AC and all that junk also.. not gutted though, but my rims are light as hell maybe that makes a little bit of a diffrence lol

 

i think its supposed to weight 2850. the bracket that holds the ac and ps in is made of alluminum. With a good amount of fuel in your tank, and just ps and ac remove, that sounds about right. There is a thread for weight of differnt parts in this forum

 

Heh. My 89 TII with cage, full interior 1/8 tank and only no a/c came in at 3035.

 

well i only had a 1/4 tank... i guess my cage makes up for all the removed items..i forgot to mention that the motor is stripped of all emissions stuff to cause im runnin a stand alone

 

and interior is gutted and i have racing seats as well

 

Ahh that's nothin. I was hittin almost 4K lbs. in my MKIII Supra, those suckers are heavy!!

 

big heavy wheels?

 

What does "gutted" mean?
A good "roll cage" easily adds 100 to 200 lbs.
6-point roll cages can easily add 500 lbs. if it's not chrome moly.
I don't see anything wrong with the given weight.
Stop blaming the weigh station.

Yea, that's not too bad. Maybe you've got a steel hood? That's 20lbs extra there. Do you have bigger than stock wheels and tires? That adds weight. How about bigger brakes, that can add weight too.

My FC with a ~47lb/ea wheel and tire setup, full RB exhaust, no AC, no PS, with a roll bar (4 point, not cage), full interior with spare, jack, junk, etc weighed 2850 on some Longacre corner scales. Don't remember how much gas, maybe 1/2-1/4 tank.

 

How much do you weigh?

 

500 pounds seems like a drastic overstatement... unless you're talking about a 10-point cages with way more door bars and crossmembers than any FC would probably ever need.

Or maybe if the tubing is full of concrete...

 

gutted is stripped interior(carpet/insulation/door panels/unnessesary accsessories) maybe stripped is more commonly used. my 88t2 weighed in 2850 with all emmisions removed/whole ac(compressor/radiater/hard lines/core). damn 12in subswith the custom box and amp in the back puts back 80lbs.

 

500 seems rally heavy for any cage. and i think 86 base models were lightest mine wieghed under 2500 stock with rb exhasut bonez cats and ac and airpump still in

 

oooo classicauto are you being mean?

 

i did weigh it with the 17 inch rims on it but they weigh about the same as the stock wheels as they are the mesh bbs style wheels...by gutted i mean it has no interior what so ever just the dash.. my cage is an 8 point cage from jegs and it only weighs about 150lbs.. i also removed the stock headlights and motors and have a custom set that is really light

 

lol i weigh about 190 but i wasnt even in the car!! and it still was 2800

 

my 88 t2 was 2820 with a full tank, AL hood, manual steering, no ac.... its was only 2860 with the 3 rotor....
