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.

 

1780 lbs...........r u sure....?

 

that sounds ridiculously light to me... u sure its not like kg's or something?

 

Ya are you sure?, i don't think that is physically possible.

 

add on 1000 lbs and it sounds bang on to me.

 

was the motor and tranny in the car? because that's about the only way it's gonna be that low. Was the glass still on?

 

cant be

 

WOW!!! I think you hit the "1" instead of the "2" button first...

 

Impossible. Probably 2780#. If 1780kg=3924#

 

mines 2900 with no ac.. your's is way off. not saving 1400lbs with abs, PS, and sound deadening

 

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.

 

whooo chill I pressed the wrong button. It was 2780.
Sorry.......

 

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.

 

2780 sounds great!!

 

where're you moving to?

 

pearl city

 

kewl race ya from aiea to perl ridge mall

 

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.

 

Thanks steve.
Im hittin up driftsession for sure. Hopefully my TII will be there intime for the aug runs.
