I need to go to the dump or truck stop and weigh my car. I'm curious to see what it actually weighs. I haven't done anything dramatic to cut it down... I guess my exhaust, flywheel and piping weighs a bit less than stock, but I also have the sunroof... I'm guessing at least 3400# with me in it

I also have it posted in my sig, but my MR weighed in at 3400 with me in it at E-town. This included everything I drive with on a daily basis and 3/8-tank of gas. I usually have only 1/8th tank or less, but when I added 4gals of 116, it put me just under half unfortunately.

I don't necessarily doubt that someone could get the weight of a full interior Evo down to just below 3000; I just don't believe someone could do it to one that weighed 3400 initially when EMPTY, especially while retaining the stock sunroof. I don't see how you could shed 450lbs.

LF: 1027 RF: 964
LR: 609 RR: 608 total : 3207lb, without me, it would be 3057lb.

took off everything in the trunk, emptied washer fluid, removed f/r crash beams
removed rear seat, mini battery, full Ti exhaust, after market downpipe + straightpipe, coilovers
IC pipes, CF hood, Ti front strut bar.........i think i listed everything

the weight ratio came out to be F 62%, R 38%
wasn't as bad as i thought with all that stuff taken out at the rear

don't know wut else i can do to get the car under 3k lb without me in it....
seat? cf trunk?

Remember that the slickevo guy has a sunroof (40lbs) and all of his seats, not that the rear seat weighs anything.
