**My car is a fat*ss pig...**

#1 05-17-2002, 04:35 PM

I wanted to know what my car weighed, so today I went to Mintz Scrap Iron and Metal and weighed the someb*tch.

Including 8 gallons of gas, the fat bastard weighed 3460 lbs.   <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>   I didn't know it'd be that heavy.  No driver/passengers in it..  only the gas, subwoofer and amp.

Just throwing this out there mainly because this forum hasn't seen any activity in like 3 months.  <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

The plate inside the door jam has the GVW, but the actual weight may be more or less.

My car weighed in at 3161lbs.  Thats a lot of weight for 215hp to pull around.

How much lighter is an LX trunk car?

Texas89LX · #9 10-16-2002, 06:37 PM

notches should be around 3100 wet

there is no way your car weights less than mine
maybe as much as mine... but not lighter

91lx · #10 10-18-2002, 11:17 PM

My car's supposed to have a 3200 curb weight, I'm not sure what it is now, though.

91lx · #12 11-24-2002, 09:52 PM

Full tank, full driver=3,465.  Thats with my tools, spare, sway bars, etc...

You should have seen the turbo Miata that was street racing at Nopi.  It hit 3rd and got sideways.  That thing was mean  <img src="http://www.spartanburgracing.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'> .

Yeah turbo miatas are awesome. If i was going to get a turbo, id get a flyin miata kit, the 5,000 dollar one. Then i'd upgrade the internals and pump up the boost! weeee

340hp+2300lb car = one hell of a fun car.

It'll be a while before i start making that much money though. I figured id concentrate mod money on mostly suspension work, and other various stuff, cuz you really can't make a miata real fast without forced induction
