Weighed the car today - 3328 lbs

[Trevor]

I went down to the local truckstop and used their CAT cerified scale to get an accurate weight for that dyno software I've been using. It came out at 3600 lbs on the money including me and about 0.8 gallon shy of a full tank of E85 (I went full since I usually tune with quite a bit of fuel in the car).

The math works out to:
3600 lbs
- 162 lbs (me)
- 115 lbs (A full (usable) tank of E85 (17.6 gallons))
+ 5 lbs (E85 I used to get there (11.4 miles))

= 3328 lbs with the low fuel light barely on (est)

24 lbs lighter than I thought she was. :D

Once I get mine running I'm taking it down to the scales. I'm not sure how much lighter than 3800 lbs it'll be. I just switched from the EMU to AEM so I'm looking forward to trying out that virtual dyno software. Didn't you say your wheels were 14.8 lbs a piece Trevor? I was thinking the 18x9s were 16 lbs. I've contemplated getting a gunmetal set for the light weight.

[Trevor]

Yep...14.8. I haven't found a lighter 18x9.

[BoostMONSTER]

nice, what kind of weight reduction do you have done to it?

[Trevor]

Single 4" exhaust
PST One Piece Carbon Fiber Driveshaft
The wheels
JIC FLT-A2 Coilovers
Corbeau GTS II Seats
Odyssey PC680 Dry Cell Battery
Nothing in the back but plastic trim on the sides, carpet on the floor, and a CD changer...
GT300 Style Fiberglass hood
Fiberglass Hatch
Carbon Fiber Sunroof
Removed Rear Tow Hooks
Removed front and rear windshield washer reservoirs and pumps

On the opposite side there's a 59 lb chromoly rollbar in there.

[BoostMONSTER]

that a good drop in weight for what you have going but a carbon fiber sunroof is that really worth it how much stock weigh?

[Trevor]

Part of the reason it's so light is I started with the lightest factory TT 3/S.

The CF sunroof was good for 11 lbs.

[BoostMONSTER]

wow and i though it didnt weigh shit

[Mikes2nd]

woot for no sunroof! My car with half a tank is 3550...

hood, cf driveshaft, battery, ac, coilovers, exhaust... 2nd gen headlights... tow hooks.

add more weight for the 2nd gen brake conversion. If i was a billionaire I would put a light weight brake conversion.

Need to yank the abs, and rear wheel steering.

[ntcmpjg]

hey nice job, I want you OEM rims haha

I've been bugging people for bolt on 2-piece rotos for years. That could be good for 35-45 lbs without sacrificing streetability and even more if you went with the ultra light rotors (for the people with drag only cars).

They don't count? :p

[x2percentmilk]

Thats a super good weight, your in stock STI territory.

[wraith]

Supercar makes the front ones with aluminum hats. The back ones do not weigh much. Thats where I concentrated my weight reduction efforts, just in rotating mass. You can even buy Advan Sport tires and drop 3 lbs per tire. Theres almost a 5lb difference between the same size tires in weight

I'm not spending $700+ on rotors unless they're guaranteed for 4yrs of abuse.

[Austin@STM]

Very nice weight for a complete car.

[Ninja Performance]

It's good, but honestly with it being a 96 RTTT and as much as I guess I thought was pulled out/lightened, I would have thought it was lighter.

Removed A/C also, correct?

[Trevor]

Oh yeah...that too!

That's probably the 24 lbs...

[Austin@STM]

did you weigh the turbo/ manifold setup, because i know that a 42 is not exactly light.

[Trevor]

No I dind't. The turbo is hefty as hell but it probably weighs about the same as an equivalent set of twins.

[Broomfield Racing]

That is sick Trevor. Cant wait to see some track time.
