How much extra did you add? Meaning what extra did you add? Because your curb weight is about 3640. My guess starts with the audio system.

What is worth removing besides seats? Already have no spare or jack/tools, and A/C is removed. I dream of pulling 500lbs out, but i cant think of anywhere worth removing.

stock system. i do have one now. had a 1jzgte stock leather interior. i do have 295 wide tires in the rear and 265 in the front on xxr 009 9.5x18. weighted at a local city dump. they upgraded the scales and added a monitor to show the drivers

 

[slightly_red_MA70]

88, Targa, N/A, 5spd, no interior whatsoever from the front seats back with a 1/4 tank of gas, 17x7 eagle alloy rims, no driver........3300

I now have zero sound deadening and no rear bumper with the 60pound drivers seat removed and replaced with a recaro race seat, and stock sawblades, and turbo, I have yet to weigh it but when I do ill let you know what it is

EDIT:Add 170 for driver

Seems like the user name over "Sammydafish" on SF put together a PDF of everything he took off the car. If you really want a drag car, you know what to pull. Audio system, driver seat for another passenger seat, fiberglass hood, but I don't know if anybody preproduces them. (carbon fiber is ugly and expensive) Sound deadener. Fabricate a manual rack.

The username MA71supraturbo, I think, had his down near the 3000 lb mark, maybe even 29XX lbs. They guy that worked at Horsepowerfreaks.

my old 86.6 turbo

was 2980 with full take of gas and stock sized upgraded brakes could skid at 100 km at will

the 92 i have now i suspect to be quite heavy but my taste in car's have changed and might have to upgrade my brakes now too

 

[TurboStreetCar]

Well thats the problem, i know a few things like the deadening material and all the little odds and ends, but i cant see the total weight bieng much over 150lbs. I dont even want to lose the luxury of the car for ~150lbs. Id rather make another 20 horsepower. Not to mention i hate the look of race seats in anything other then a race car.

 

[4U2QUIK]

you can lose 100 to 200 lbs by going to a lsx or a 1uz.

 

[1-2clutch-u]

humm ok my 88 7mgte 5spd weighed 3420 with more than half tank of gas. why are all your cars soo heavy? kinda odd. Im stock turbo full exh. aftermarket ic with pipes and bbs wheels 245 16 in the rear.

 

[shaeff]

All the tar sound deadening that's plastered all over the floors, tranny tunnel, and rear inner wheel wells weighs in at around 45lbs. It's also kindof a bitch to remove.

 

[ValgeKotkas]

My 87 N/A targa
Front: left 1058, right 952
Rear: left 1080, right 914
Was done at the inspection, so idk about the driver (though looks like with one) and I'm not sure how much gas in the tank either, cause I wasn't there. ICE should be evenly spread. I'm interested what turbo and SS pipes bring

Dry ice, and a couple of friends with a hammer make it a 20 minute job.

 

[Moy]

Where would the average person go to get dry ice though? :dunno:

 

[radiod]

You'd be suprised. Most industrial chemical places can get it for you. You don't need a license or anything for it and it's not SUPER expensive. I think we did our entire 2nd gen Integra race car with less than $50 of ice for the interior. Just let the dry ice sit on the tar for 5 minutes or so and give it a smack with a hammer.

I don't know what regulations are for obtaining it, but apparently liquid nitrogen works even better, pour it on and give it a wack.
