Default Weighed my car today.

Weighed on HOWE Patented recording beam at the local farm co-op. I choose to weight the car with a full tank of gas instead of guessing how much was in the tank by the needle sine we know how much gas weighs (6.1lb/gallon).

2001 ITR, full interior, no spare tire, full tank of gas- 2,560lbs
Weight with driver- 2,730lbs
Dry weight- 2,480lbs

i must be missing something in my car b/c 234 came out to 2527lbs (full interior, spare, AP roll bar, 1/2 tank gas) according to the scales used for corner weighing :shrugs:

yshi - who'll be replacing the steel C-pillar bar for an aluminum one (details on EM Racing bar to follow soon ) that he got last night

That 1/2 tank of gas you're missing = about 40 lbs. Is your roll bar a single hoop with no diagonal or rear braces?

My bar is an SCCA legal set up. It's about 50 lbs

oh jeah, the gas on me

it's an AP rollbar (scca legal) w/ diag and rear bar; 50lbs sounds about right.

Sounds right to me too. Mine was 2560 with 3/4 of a tank, the spare and various loose change and CD's.

I'm sure it's around 2500 with a full tank now.

whoa, maybe i should weigh mine again even though i have a gsr.
i weighed my car at the dump with a 1/2 tank of gas,rear gutted, sound deadening out, and me in the car, it weighed 2468lbs.
Mmmm, that means with out me in the car it would weigh 2343.

and since then i have taken out my a/c, and more sound deadening, and all heatshields.
wonder what it weighs now????

Mine weighed in at 2590 with me in it.

That was before I remove the A/C, P/S, other misc things. I'm trying to get it down to 24xx with a rollbar and me in it.

I don't know where to weigh my car or else I would.

My hatch is gutted out, getting a lightweight battery and removing my A/C. I'm only 122 lbs though, ActiveAero, you're fat! (~170)

I plan to go to a local GARBAGE DUMP, they have scales there, and I could probably drop off some garbage too
