It's a '89 TII with the A/C and PS removed and converted to manual rack. No ABS either. Full 2.5" exhaust with a JIC Twin 505 catback. Weighed the car with 3/4 tank of gas and the spare tire still in there. And the results are..... 2760 lbs.

i wieghed mine like 3 weeks ago.. i have the heaviest 2nd gen made i think......therieticly s5 gxl (i appoligize for all the spelling) anyway.. mods are in sig.. the car wieghed in at 2980

Icemark

actually a S5 'vert would be heavier.

and both your's and Neevosh's weights sounds about exactly right on

drago86

what would an 86 sport with all option deletes (cept the sport of course) wiegh?

88IntegraLS

~2650? The base model is rated at 2625 and it has no LSD, big brakes, stiffer suspension and anti-sway bars, better seats, etc. Of course, the base model number considers the likelyhood of an option or two, like AC.

smog station told me my gtu weighed 3450lbs. isn't that neat?

3450 lbs! That's like an Escalade!

My title says my 87 Turbo II weighs 3000, I didnt think that was right at all.
Plus the title for my friends 1980 Tercel said it weighed 2500 lbs, when that thing cant weigh more than 1900 with no gas or driver.

Anyhow, what the lightest street driven 2G anyone has seen?

mac_dad6

someone on this forum said his weighed 2300. dont remember who it was but thats pretty light

bingoboy

well the guy that was doing the weighing was a retard...weighed half the car at a time and added up the total with him in it both times as well.

dr0x

Just run over to a trucker weigh station when there are no truckers there. Simple, free and accurate

Scott 89t2

mine was 2997 with my 75lbs sub box and 3/4 tank...

no A/C but everything else.

what else have you removed?

blind

accualy an esclade weighs just under 4000 pounds
so more like 3900 lbs
im not sure tho

drago86

I should weigh it now, that sounds pretty light. Can you really roll through a truck weigh station after hours?, and how on earth did they add 300+ lb's to the s5's? does plush interior, AC and a sunroof really weigh that much?

steviep_

i weighed my car last week with a third of a tank of gas and the spare and jack gone
and my 87 gx with air, power mirrors, and a sunroof weighed 2660, since then i took out my ac compressor, and that heavy *** peice of insulation under the carpet in the hatch, but i havent weighed it yet

neevosh

Oh, I also removed my airpump and all the smog and idle control mumbo jumbo. I removed the sound insullation but still have the tar in there. I'm gonna try to get my car down to 2700 lbs. I weighed my car on a truck scale so I'm not sure how accurate the weight is.

i had an 86 base that weighed in at 2400 lbs with 3/4 tank of gas and a full interior, it didnt have a/c or p/s.

dag

No, Escalades weigh around 5700 lbs.

-David Guy

ZachSpazz

So, they weigh about the same as a 3000GT, right?

Icemark

The Sport was only 2633 w/air, and does have the lighter 4 piston front brakes, heavy duty suspension, stiffer stabilzer bars and the same seats as the base and Luxury models.

We weighed an '86 sport, no options but AC, aluminum hood. 100% stock, original owner. 2600lbs

87 TII, 100% stock, 2880 lbs

87 TII, 100% stock, 2800 lbs

95 Maxima SE, auto trans, 3050lbs

93 R1, 100% stock, 2760 lbs

92 F-150, ext cab, 4x4, w/351 V8, 5600lbs!

Don't know the gas levels on the cars, that might explain the differences in the TIIs.

Mr. Eccentric

He took the number off the driver side plate in the door sill. That's the gross vehicle weight (max. allowable weight with occupants & cargo etc.)

flubyux2

GVWR which is posted on the sticker on the door jamb is a full tanke of gas, all fluids, trunk full of luggage and 4 passengers, at least for my SE model.

mine weighed in @ 2720 w/ 210lb driver, full interior, ~1/2 tank, spare tire/jack/tools, J-spec single N1

removed:
AC
AC lines
AC condensor
AC dryer
PS pump
AC/PS bracket
SubZero start assist
AIR pump
clutch fan
Primary cat gutted
Secondary cat
Main cat
Stock Airbox and duct for K&N

Icemark

No that is incorrect unless you have a 4 seater (which less than 15% were).

Its the maximum laden weight, which is figured at two 250 lbs occupants and 250-500 lbs of luggage (so about 750-1000 lbs on top of the cars weight).

Capn' Wankel

We have a second gen in our club NA with 330k miles on it and it weighs 2180 lbs and tears the quarter up @ low 14s. Stock port. all original. He is getting some slicks to hit the 13s.

Mr. Eccentric

Where'd he shed all the weight exactly? That's a lot of pounds.
