Weighed my car yesterday, full exhaust , no airpump. 185 lbs driver, still got the spare tire, BOSE crap, and other ****. Got 2880. With a 1/4 tank of gas.
Im guessing thats not to shabby, me out, spare tire and crap out, I can get under 2700 with ease. BTW these are the CAT scales that the big rigs use.

scratchjunkie

are these the scales that are located next to the freeways?

I weighed mine (95 Pep manual) with me (170 llbs) and full tank.....3040

only possible weight savings dp, high flow cat, cb...maybe M2 intake

Gargamel

you guys have some fat bitches.

Fatman0203

Umm does it have a CAT sign on it? If not, then no. This is a trucker stop, where we noticed it, asked, and its only 8$, and I can weigh again within 24 hours for 1$ so not bad.

The full tank kills thast an extra 80 lbs easily. Midpipe save's weight, my RB deal is actually heavier than my stock exhaust for some reason.

I do have the RB dual tip and some 17 inch wheels that I suppose weigh more than stock..I did just top off the tank less than a mile from the scale. I don't recall what range a gallon of gas weighs, but around 5lbs/ gal is a good guess...so I had about 15 more gallons than you or about 75 lbs

USCmatt

A full tank is gonna be more like 100lbs (17 gallons) since gas weighs around 6lbs/gal.

Thats strange your RB dual tip weighs more. I weighed mine versus the stock exhaust and the RB was about 6 pounds lighter

2680 here.

Dont we have a 20 gallon tank?

r0gu3

I always thought it was an 18.something gallon tank?

USCmatt

The tank is listed at 20 gallons in my manual I think. With the needle on 'E', I've been able to fill up to a max of 17 (barely) gallons from the pump. There might be a gallon or two left in the tank for reserve but I think if you are worrying about the weight of your car on an empty tank, you should look at it by how much you can fill it up with at the pump, not by a bone dry gas tank. If that was the case, the car wouldnt even run, and then you might as well just drain the oil and coolant as well.

Not everyone can have a 2500 lbs FD like you

iluvmy3rdgen

Yeah 20 gallons.. http://www.stevemullin.com/rx7home.htm#3rdgen Under General Specs.

I weighed in at a CAT scale last year at 2740lbs with my mods and 1/4 tank. Driver not included.

RotorJoe

20.1 to be exact. And I think gas weights about 6-8lbs a gallon.

USCmatt

up to 8lbs? Gas gets more dense as it gets colder, so 8lbs is gonna have to be one cold *** day

owen is fat

so these scales are accurate within hundreds of pounds, not tens or single pounds... right?

RotorJoe

Yeah, I just looked it back up and it is 6lbs a gallon for all practical purposes.

In Oregon typical state/county scales weigh in increments of 20lbs. In the weight range of our cars they are accurate to +/- one increment or +/- 20lbs.

I weighed myself on the scale and it flickered between 180-200lbs, I weigh 190lbs with my clothes on the bathroom scale.

Hey, how much do you think my FD weighs? Mods in sig. No Cruise, No A/C, No BOSE stuff, no speakers, no radio, no rear anything, and no spare. Its an auto with 18" wheels. Say a 1/4 tank of gas.

FD Rey

2732lbs and 2.3 ounces

Gas= 6lbs per gallon (according to a pilot I know).
