Re:Weighed my car today, what a pig!
yea it was at a truck weigh station off of the highway :o, lol. Yes its a 89 Crx si and i weigh more than 170, i'm about 205-215, i'm a fat mofo. and thats with a half tank of gas and a spare and all so i can see when i go to the track losing about 200-250 lbs, maybe?

Re:Weighed my car today, what a pig!
there is a stone quarry near me, i know they have a place to weigh trucks, someone could probably use the scale there. i would try it but im afraid....damn dsms....probably like 3300 :'(

Re:Weighed my car today, what a pig!
205-215 ::) I've got that beat. My lower range is about 215, up to 230 when I lift enough (not weights, usually engines and wheels and crap). I wouldn't run less than a half tank at the track, I keep it full on the road race (better distribution and no starvation.)
If you drop a seat, the spare, and other randomns you don't need you could probably lose 100lbs. Losing 200-250 would take removal of bumper supports, a fuel cell, race battery, helium filled tires ;), get a race seat and you'll loose a few more lbs, plus they are awesome to drive in. Just don't loose enough to drop into the 11s, then'll you need a cage which just adds weight again... I run a cage anyway. Cage = rigid chassis ;D |
Re:Weighed my car today, what a pig!

Re:Weighed my car today, what a pig!
us big guys suffer. But I still have fun with the fact that my sparco is basically mounted to the floor, and I can still see fine. But from the side, you can pretty much only see my head, which looks funny as hell, and then I get out and people get all confused...

Your not really gaining annything by removing little things here or there.Gut the whole thing out if you want to drop
1-10th of a second :P |
Re:Weighed my car today, what a pig!
the engine/tranny is the heaviest thing in tha car, take that out!!
unless you want a full track car, your not gonna feel much diffrence by removing the lil stuff. its just gonna make your hear more road noise which in turn is gonna make you think your going faster. |
Re:Weighed my car today, what a pig!
as far as little stuff that makes a difference theres: ac/seats/spare/bumper cores then you can get all that fiberglass ---- like hatch/doors/front clip/sunroof, and lexan windows drop around 50lbs.
but if its a street car i would only do ac/spare/seats.. my friend took his bumper supports out when he put his ww bodykit on, but if he ever gets in a wreck its gonna suck. |
Re:Weighed my car today, what a pig!
Be happy because Jbodies are heavy. My car is probably a lil more than 3000lbs with me in it I bet :(
Possibly less from my fiberglass parts but i keep tools in the back so...yeah |
