I was looking around for an E30 on this forum to start my next project, and found an interesting thread topic on e30tech.com, weird sounds alot like honda-tech...

Most Anorexic E30 List http://www.e30tech.com/forum/v...rexic

The lightest E30 on that board was 1874 lbs! That was with an '86 325i csl 2-door. I know we have some lightweight Honda's on here so post up your weights and specs. The only thread I know of like this is the "How extreme are you" thread which doesn't really have a consistent listing of weights.

Year/Model
Motor
Weight of car without driver
List of what weight reduction has been performed

The E30 tech guys weighed the cars at the following places. Mine was weighed at Atco.
1. Grain elevator
2. Truck stop weigh station
3. Atco or similar dragstrip
4. Emissions stations I think have scales
5. Local Dump
6. Rock Quarry

 

every truck stop has cameras and it scares me. just ask them to use it?

 

Or try one of the other places listed.

 

there is a place by me that scraps metal, usually if you give the guy a $5 he wont care, but there are a couple places that wouldnt care either way and i think they leave their scales on all the time.

 

LACR used to have a scale at the end of the track that you could weigh your car on after a pass. I think its closed now though
