Where can I go to find out how much my car weighs?

 

The track in my area (Raceway Park) has scales, and I would assume other tracks have them too. Try giving them a call.

 

Local recycling yard?

 

 

They usually have scales!!!!!! Also, any sort of landscape materials yard will have scales...and probably your local landfill!

 

Assuming your in the L.A. area, I seen a public scale thats used for heavy trucks in the city of La Puente. I don't have the address but its on Valley Blvd right by 605 frwy. Im gonna go by there again soon so IM me if you want me to get the info when i pass by.

 

Recycling Place, or go to a truck weigh in place and see if you can get on there.

Or if you are as lucky as me, your uncle is a road racer and has a set of corner weighting scales.

..yeah I went to the dump.

 

Have not heard of such!

hehe...I am going to this weekend to find a few

Thanks

 

I see those on the side of the freeway all the time but I doubt they will let me use their scale. Let me know what happens.

 

I wonder if those truck weighing places will let you weigh...anyone tried it?
I see a couple every weekend, and I always question it everytime I see the sign.

 

If you're talking about the ones on the side of the interstates and highways, I don't think they will let you. Recycling center, landfill/dump, and landscape material yard should let you do it though...

 

I know that Josh (itrsport.com) went to a quarry for his.

 

a local recycling place by me has a scale thats open 24hrs and has a lighted scale and number readout. Its on a deadend side street and is accurate to 20lbs (20lbs incriments). If your quite and quick doing it they normally wont care, at least at this place.
My car weighted in at 2380 (witn no rear seats, and with my new carbon kevlar front seats with full A/C and powersteering and stock rims! (1/4tank of gas)
.
Big difference from when I was at the expo with 3000lbs!!!!!!!!

Wow, 2380 is very light.

 

I think I met you at a itr meet, so I take it your from the s. bay. The place that rboost is talking about is at the east end of Lomita blvd (where lomita bl ends). It's in an Ecology junkyard parking lot. I went there too. I tipped it at 2220.

 

i weighed my car today at Shick Moving in Irvine. It's off Jamboree and Michelle. Cost 10 bucks, my car weighed 2300 pounds with all kinds of random **** it my car that I was too lazy to take out.

 

I hope they are open on weekends.

 

actually the place I'm talking about is off of Layfette blvd next to SJO (SJ airport). Its open 24-7.

 

I have one at work that I weigh trucks on...accurate but weighs in 20 lb increments. My R weighed I think 2520 before I went to the track. My S weighs 2780 fully equiped with full tank.

 

My work has a scale too, 10lbs accuracy, 2540 lbs in street trim.

Also I know many truck stops (not the weigh stations, but the gas + food + shower places) have them as well.

 

there is a landfill that will do it for free by my house and we've all had our cars weighed there. If you want the weight printed out it will cost you $5.My car weighed in at 2600 even.The scale also goes in 20lb increments. I sure your local landfill will do it as long as you dont go when its busy.

 

sure. i had a guy the other day pull on my scales with a civic, which i weighed for free. a couple of vehicles behind him was a drag nova, which i got my usual $7 fee....
