I decided to put my car on the scales yesterday!
You can check my build thread for specifics, but I have a mostly "stock" weight reduction plan.
I removed:
Spare
Jack
Tools
Trunk Plastics
B-pillar top plastics (for seat belt purposes, not weight)
Sound deadening from trunk and under rear seat
And,
Battery Re-located from front right to rear left.
My Ls13 swap s13 ended up like this:
2865 lbs (7/8ths gas) (no driver)
3083 with me in (220 lbs, 6 ft tall)
Weights were (with me in)
950 (LF).........735 (RF)
653 (LR).........745 (RR)
Front:
1685 (54.7%)
Cross Weight (wedge):
1388 (45 %)
Rear:
1398 (45.3%)
Left:
1603 (52%)
Right:
1680 (48%)
The total weight of my buddys stock s14 SE was 2754 lbs w. 3/4 tank gas (on same scales)
I read Rob Robinettes web-page on corner weighting, and used his spread-sheet to keep track of my data.
Here is my sheet : S13 Original Weight Spreadsheet
I do not know why my car is so LF heavy.. I need to adjust my coilvers i suppose, because there is not a item near the left front that should be making it so much heavier. I will have to re-adjust them when i have more time.
My d2s were frozen up, and one of them was actually broken. the lower mount separated at the pinch joint, and i could not adjust it the other day.
Any other ideas about what there is to adjust other than ride height?
I know some of you have spreadsheets on how much each item weighs, ect. You are welcome to link to those in this thread.
What kind of static-weight do we have to move around other than battery?
