Fuel tank according to Mazda owner's manual ('89 Vert) says 18.5 gallon tank

 

Apparently some companies that do rock landscaping sell the rock by weight, so you could weigh your car there. They have big scales for trucks to drive-up on so they can weigh the rock being purchased.

 

I'd be happy with the stock weight (2650, base model) since I have removed a lot of weight but also added a lot of weight. I removed:

-airpump, all cats, spare tire, jack, heat shields, stock seats (in favor of corbeau forza's), stock exhaust, stock flywheel/clutch, stock crank pulley, stock steering wheel and I'm sure a few other things I'm forgetting...all the little parts add up and stuff like the stock steering wheel is very heavy compared to a light momo piece. seems stupid, but it all adds up...

I added:

-front/rear strut braces, 17's (215/45 front, 235/45 rear), mazdaspeed front lip, kamanari side skirts, rear sport spoiler

The wheels and tires add a lotta weight though...I'll do some rough calcs of how much I've dropped and added...

 

By my calcs I lost about 108 lbs but those wheels and tires really add weight, maybe about another 10-12 lbs per corner. I'm looking to get Kosei P1's...the 16X8.5 is only a 16 lb wheel and thats not bad for such a wide wheel. my current 17X7's are likely 20lbs per wheel (ADR Stage II's). Anyone find out how much my ADR's weigh???

 

don't feel bad my TII weighted 2740 without me in it ....with all the stuff reomved it my sig

 

how much do stock Convert rims weigh? I am putting those style rims on my car because i know they are light. but how light. 15 inch rims with a 2inch drop. Yeah baby, low and tight.

 

damn, I wanna weigh my car now.

 

Go find a trucker weigh station, i.e if you live near a big highway they have truck weigh stations. I have never done it but a guy I know did., he came in at 2500 an 88 base, completely gutted.

 

I believe they are 11.5 lbs. I have them on my car but I didnt weigh them before I had them mounted.

 

back from the dead,,, i just weighed my s5 gxl with mods in the sig with 1/2 a tank of gas.. well 7 gallons to be exact and it wieghed in at 2820lbs without me in it

 

Yeah actually I just went to the track and weight my car, after I removed the rear carpet and rear plastic, spare tire and jack, and passenger seat and guess what, 2600 lbs on the dot with out me in it!!! I also ran a 13.5 at 6psi, better than my 13.6 at 12psi

 

haha...my 87 base still got you all beat at between 2100 and 2200lbs with me in it...but damn I cut a LOT of **** out of that car!
