I weighed my car today..... fully loaded.. (a/c, ps, cats, body kit, rims, about 150lbs. worth of stereo)


With me (160lbs.) in the driver's seat, and a full tank of gas, the car tipped the scales at exactly 3100lbs....

When I take the system out for race day, I'll be at 2850 with driver..... that's frickin heavy...

What do some others weigh?

BoostCrzy

mine was 2900 even last time i weighed in.....less driver and 3/4 tank of gas...

Elegant Black Monster

2900 stock with an auto and no driver or anything. So stop complaining. :P

where did you weigh your car? could you weigh at the corners?

rjuge

nope, just fron rear....

i thought they were heavier than that. Everyone told me my car was going to be "so" heavy... because of the 4 subs, amps, 3/4" mdx box, and the wheels and a full body kit.. I don't really feel bad anymore. So that's not too heavy for an fd?

someone not to long ago claimed that they were under 2400, I have a hard time believeing that though.

unless they did some weight reduction, i would not believe it when people say their fd weighs less than 2700lbs..

it was Resource and i think it could possibly be possible, we did not really get all of his mods so anything is possible. he did loose the entire rear end (diff/subframe wise)

i weighed in my FD last year with me in the car at 2860 with 1/4 of race gas. i am about 180lbs.. so that makes the car ... 2680 ~ 2700 lbs.

You can drop 15lpds if you lose the gatewaytothewest wing you have bolted up to your hatch there.

Tad

dude they're supposed to have a curb weight of
2800... if you weigh 160.. and your stereo stuff weighs 150, thats 310.

3100 - 310 = 2790

quit trippin

rjuge

yeah. i'm not trippin anymore.. someone told me, hitting 3000lbs. would be a sin in an fd....


that's what i had to go off of.. then i checked the sticked in the jam, i think it said 3260lbs....

That figure is the recommended maximum weight of the vehicle, passengers, and everything else.

Hey Robert its kyle, your neighbor. Mine weighs 2780 without me in it, but thats with the V8 and roll cage. If you still have those pics of my bike I sent you can you post them in the thread I started over here for selling my bike? I would appreciate it.

rjuge

hey kyle... mail them to me again.

By the way:

Who else in slidell has a red fd?

My headlight assemblies were stolen when the car was being repaired. My dad is putting together a list of everyone who has them and checking all the rx7's in the area (cool thing about father being a major crimes detective). Anyway, if you know anyone else that has "new headlights", spread the word that if they took em, they've got one week to email me and return them before my dad starts checking every fd in town. I won't press charges, but i want my damn lights back. After the end of the week, however, it becomes burglary (body shop), and grand theft (over $1000).

Spread that word and help me get my lights back! I know which ones are mine (numbered... white under the red paint, and the brackets are custom... so they won't be able to "shy it off".

Thanks man, and email me those pics again.

Rob.

I said that it would be a sin to have a 3K+ lb FD because that would be a sin. But I think it's pretty hilarious that your car weighed 3100 lbs with you and all that other stuff - that's still less than a Z06 - even with you out of the car with a 1/2 tank gas and keeping all the stereo stuff you'll still weigh in at less than 2900 lbs which is still incredibly light for all that you have done to the car.

according to www.carfolio.com (a very comprehensive site about any car, its quite cool) umm a 93 rx-7 weighs in at 2831lb off the factory floor, and a 98 rx-7 RZ weighs at 2800lb so like yeah it looks as if 2800lb is pretty much the norm hey, and i tell u 1 things thats not very heavy if compared to a toyota supra which weighs in at 3600lb off the factory floor, so yeah the topic should be NO! fat-*** hehe, but damn! what a fine *** it iZ!

stolen when the car was being repaired? uhm, how the **** did that happen, first off the shop should buy you a brand new set and give you the work and **** for free
thats BS

rjuge

it's a friend of mine's shop though. (off the books- so no insurance).

We'll find who took em. There aren't many fd's in the area, so far he's found 15. sorry if they come and search you kyle, but they're going to come out and check every car... He's not a bad guy, just be nice to him.

My car weighed in at 2850 with full tank of gas and me (125lbs) in the car.

DaedelGT

I'll check around Baton Rouge rjuge. I usually see at least one other FD on campus every day.

Where can you go to weigh your car?

XSTransAm

im at 2770 with full body kit empty gas tank... (touring model with bose) only things that are missing from the car are the front bumper frame and ac condenser :P

I weight my car at my friends auto garage. you would be suprised how many local yokle shops have a scale.

scratchjunkie

my car is a fat *** on my california smog report paper it says my car weighed in at 3125. the guy inside looked to be about 180-200lbs though, so im guessing my car weighs in at 2940 w/o driver. car is a touring w/ ac, ps, bose and spare tire removed.
