Default Weighed my EK hatch today. This CANT be right!

I went to the Wiegh station off Ellis Rd. today and i think it was off by a little. Today I wieghed less with me IN THE CAR than I wieghed before with me out of it. Before,When I had the LSvtec swap and full interior(leather) and a 1/4 tank of gas it wieghed 2420lbs (w/out me). Today it wieghed 2400 W/me and a 1/4 tank of gas. WTF? I have gutted it quite a bit more but thats just crazy! I have a SOHC now and just Del sol seats up front (nothing in back) but that cant be 260lbs of weight reduction. Has anyone wieghed on there recently? Was it off?

BTW, I weigh 240lbs. So thats 2160 w/out driver if the scales correct. I If it is accurate...Sorry Matt. My EK is lighter than your EG

Hey,

Take a look this: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=232443

My EK was 2115 without me in it! I'm beginning to think the scales I used were wrong though...I might check it out again sometime though...

Total weight with me included = 2280lbs

I weigh 160lbs so the car weighs 2120lbs without me.

You are your stripped interior B18C5-EH2...hehe...I'd like to follow suit, if it wasn't for the fact that i have to use the rear seats for passengers every once in a while!

whoa there side burns. i said price/performance, not total power. b-series will of coarse out muscle a D16 when boosted. But a average R swap goes for $4500 these days and that is one HELL of a D16 setup that will produce more HP and TQ than a stock R motor would ever dream of.

that my friend is price/performance ratio.
