I have a 89 civic std with a D16Z6. It weighed 1815 lbs with fully gutted interior the only thing that was left was the dash and race seat. I had hx rims on and a bullfrog hood. I can't believe you car was lighter, with more in it. The 88 models are 100 lbs more stock then any of the same models that came in 89.

My 91 STD weighed 2220 lbs before I got my 17" rims. That's without me, but with about 100 lbs of subs and amp. I'm gonna go soon to weigh it with the rims.

Yeah there is a landfill near my house and if you drive right in the entrance there are 2 truck weighing things, I guess so they can figure out how much garbage is coming in and out. And all you have to do is drive up there, it works 24/7.

My car weighs about 2100 without me in it. After I get my Rotas and strip out some stuff in the back I hope to get it below 2000.

my bass tubes are light their like 6.5 or 8 inch. they prolly weight 8 pounds each got them for free from my cousin in laws truck when he sold it. my amp is a $20 pyramid 240watt thing. basicly it just sounds like a semi decent home stereo in there.

my seat is a heavy ******, heavier than stock, 93 accord identical to the 90-93 tegs

every little bit of weight counts in import cars because our cars have no trq and the little bit of weight makes up for all the trq we lack
