Just weighed my R2 today and it came to 2700 lbs exactly. Relevant mods are dp,mp, titanium catback, 51r battery, no airpump, no spare and 1/4 tank of gas. I thought I would have been in the 2600s for sure. Oh well, I'll have my gas down to 1/8th and be in that range next time

not bad!
I want to weigh my civic hatchback when I'm done with it.

i'm going for under 2000lbs

and yes that is with an interior,
only partially stripped(no rear seats, cargo cover, spare/cover/tools).

the oem weight is supposed to be 2070,
so I figure with ac, windshieldwiper, splashgaurds, lightweight battery, no intake resonator, and previously mentioned stripping, I should break 2000lbs easy!!

of course I dont have a 300something hp rotary twinturbo in there.. but still.. hehe.

Yea, I'd much rather tell time as, for example, "half past a monkey's ***, quarter to his *****". What's with this 12/24 hour BS NIST is trying to feed us? Makes no sense...

You can use metric time if you prefer
1 kilo-second is about 17 minutes
1 mega-second is about 12 days

I think that we should convert, but for some reason, I think it's easier to visualize fractions of something (like an inch) than just straight numbers. But maybe that's because I'm just not used to it.
