What does your FD Weigh?
I have a owners manual for my 92 FD (series 6) and it states that the car weighs 668 pounds (1473kg). I find this hard to believe as my last car was 1510kg and was a HELL of a lot harder to push oround then the RX7.
Have any of you weighed your street trim RX7?

I have a 93 base that I am hoping weighs less than 2700lbs. I have removed a ton of parts but the roll bar and full 4" exhaust aren't light. If I make 400whp and weigh 2700lbs then it will have almost the same power/weight ratio as my 350Z had at 3165lbs and 465whp. We'll see in a few weeks I guess.

that is seems to be allot of weight. what is 1/4 mile for a stock one like this?

wow that's not cool at all if you say mid-high 14's. i was thinking of doing auto to manual swap. I want it to be low-mid 13. Upgrading exhaust and intake will drop by much?

Just look at Jacob Cartmills thread about weighing his fd. His car has pretty basic upgrades and it weighed around 2650. My car better weigh less than 2500 and it will have all the factory exterior pieces. No carbon fiber stuff for me.

Cars like this should only have stick-shift, no excuse.
But what the hell My rx7 only got 40k miles and it's silver/red touring so for I got $8k into the car. And as far as for the auto to manual swap I got manual FD in my garage for parts. So really no money involved in doing a swap. Labor is free because i'm doing a job.

Single turbos are lighter, because they don't have the massive iron log manifolds... Gene Felber recorded saving 35 lbs going from twins to a 35R.
If you're starting with a base or R car, the exhaust system alone has the 50-70 lb. potential.
