Default Weighed the EK hatch..not bad for full interior....

2280 lbs. Full interior (Mugen Drivers seat), but the other seats are stock.
About 1-2 gallons of gas in the car. Lightweight rims.
Honda claims 2359 for a '99 hatch, so I'm 79 lbs down. Not too sure how to factor
in the gas part of the equation vs. Honda's measurement.

Just seat + rims + I/H/E...nothing fancy. Added strut bars and stabi bars.

the factory weight is measured with a full tank of gas, isn't it? that'd be part of the difference right there.

it depends...

IN GENERAL.

"curb weight" includes gas...

"vehicle weight" does not.

Then the curb weight has to be wrong as printed from Honda, or my car's sway bars and stabi bars are super heavy. Hmm...I've droped almost 40 lbs alone in rims + tires....+ the mugen seat is way lighter than stock. Weird. I don't know what to make of it.
