Default EP3 Curb Weight

Anyone actually weighed their EP3? I have now read three separate mentions of the EP3 weighing close to ~2650lbs instead of the quoted 2750lbs. Supposedly, as I read on ephatch.com, GRM weighed a stock EP3 at 2615lbs.

I had read 2 posts on ClubSi four or five months back where owners weighed their EPs and they also reported weights in the 2600lb range. I am wondering if this Honda spec is also off like their 132lb of torque spec.

Just so that you know, manufacturer's official weight specs tend to be high. They're usually taken with all fluids topped off.

Have you weighed it as 2744?

360: Even if the manufacturers weighed it with all fluids topped off, it still doesn't explain the more than 100lbs of weight difference.

I've heard of people doing this, but I don't know if it is legal/permitted. Anyone know?

"You're right on that. I just checked the honda website and it says the '04 EP3's curb weight is 2,782lbs. The Type S comes in at 2,767lbs."

Made it easier. to choose on style. Plus the Type R Integra is the crown jewel. Civic cant appear to be better in any way.
