2140lbs
90 LX Sedan
Full interior, no A/C or P/S
D16Z6 + Cable Transmission
Did I mention stock exhaust from the header back?
With DA rear disks, and P/S rack.

I need to weigh it again with my larger front brakes, smaller radiator, manual rack, and traction bar. I should be at the same weight or less hopefully

ive heard people take their cars to the post office to weigh them. but i think that was before 9/11, homeland security, and the patriot act.


where are people getting ACCURATE readings for these?

I also had a thought to call a government weigh station that they have on our freeways.

easiest way is to go to any dump... they weigh your car before and after, and thats how they decide how much you pay....

Most garbage dumps will weigh your vehicle upon entering and once again at the gate as you come out to figure out how much trash you dumped and charge you accordingly. Mine weighs 2080 lbs with a B series swap, 6 pt cage...

Or a stone quarry if you have one near by. The kind where you can go buy landscaping stones and such. Same thing, weigh in/weigh out.

k motors are pretty close in weight to B motors IIRC.

Around 1900 in STS2 trim with 4 gallons of gas.

Trying to get close to the 1850 mark, should be very close now that I no longer have a muffler, ditching the stock battery and stock header.
