weighed the FD last night. what do yours weigh?
well i took the FD to the pilot truck stop last night and used the CAT truck scale that is certified to weigh within a pound. i barely had any gas; i filled it up AFTER weighing and figured out that i had 2.3 gallons of gas in the tank when i weighed it.
my car is a base model with no sunroof and no bose, 5speed, mods are intake and full exhaust with hiflow cat. car still has AC and spare.
2687 lbs it was actually 2720 on the scale with an extra set of stock turbos in the back. we took them out and weighed them at 33lbs, so 2720-33 =2687lbs
this seems awfully light... what do your FD's weigh?

wow, that's amazingly light...about 100 lbs shaved off. I think avg. stock FDs are like 2800 something: http://www.rx7.net.nz/usspec.htm
Not many cars out there that light w/ tons of performance.

wow, thats pretty feckin light. Is it like the touring models that weigh 28XXlbs? I wonder how much my R1 weighs, anyone have some corner weight scales they want to let me borrow? . I always thought FD's were a few hundred lbs more.

are the specification weights always listed with X amount of gas or with a dry tank?
also, i have a custom full exhaust, which probably weighs alot less than stock, but i'm not sure exactly how much... i dunno

Curb weight
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Curb (kerb) weight is the total weight of an automobile with standard equipment, motor oil, coolant, a full tank of fuel and not loaded with either passengers or cargo.
This definition may differ from definitions used by governmental regulatory agencies.
Additionally, organizations may define curb weight with fixed levels of fuel and other variables to equalize the value for the comparison of different vehicles.
It is generally provided as a statistic about automobile weights, along with gross weight and gross vehicle weight rating, which represents the weight of an automobile when fully loaded. The difference between gross weight and curb weight is the total passenger and cargo weight capacity of the vehicle.
Note that curb weight is different from dry weight.

so, i had 2 gallons of gas in the tank... 1 gallon of gas weighs ~6lbs, so 6x18 (to get a full tank) would be 108lbs. 2687 + 108 = 2795
pretty damn close...

Stock main cat is somewhere around 40 pounds or so.
I went to go find that link which listed the weights of just about every component on the FD (mantissa consulting page) but it's down
