My 90TII weight

I went to the dock to ship my turbo to hawaii. Its an "official" scale. With a 87TII diff in the back it was just about 1780lbs. NOT BAD huh? I removed the ABS and put in the standard brake system, removed most of the sound deadening and interior and the AC. The power belts , PS, and some small ***** still in though. Thats about it. Luckly Im a small Japanese kid and I weigh 135lbs. I think I maybe able to safely get the car down to 1550lbs. Well until I start to fill the car w/ new parts.
Now to send my 86 next. Hmmm. Im thinking around 2550lbs. Well I hope. Full interior, no AC, no PS, no accesories.
Oh and sadly my TII has the heavy *** steel na hood.

It is in kilograms. 1700K is howmuch the infini 5 on GT3 weighs

Besides, that guy is in Japan right? They use metric. He just watches too much American Television :p

No, it's not kg. 1780kg is 3916lb! You must have a funny version of GT3...

It's gotta be a typo. 1780lb is impossible, 2780lb is about right.

pressed the wrong button.... 3 times? (1780, the 1550, and then again on 2550, as I would expect you would assume your full interior car would be heavier than your stripped car...

I smell BS.... where's that flag?

I don't think it's BS. He just sounds like a bonehead.

Hey Sky, are you leaving for Hawaii for good or something? Haven't seen you at Bremerton in about forever.

Actually I went this sunday. I havent raced for a while because Ive been broke. Actually Im moving for good. Ive found a better job. Im sending both cars down @ $1000 apiece.
hey and why do think Im BSing? I can scan the sheet if you wish. 2780 seems right for a car so small.

Good luck out there. Can't blame you going for greener pastures in Hawaii. Make the most of your time over there. I know you're already planning on making it to the Drift Session sessions.
