anyone know how much a 1st gen weighs?? need to know for my swap https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/BURNOUT.gif

2300lbs for a GS as per the mazda handbook.



I weighed my car in at 2183lbs after i got rid of the emissions including the a/c, air pump and some of the interior pieces like the cubby holes behind the seats and some of the carpet and plastic pieces in the hatch.

2183!!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683572.gif

My 1980 weighed 2280 on the dime when I weighed it on the truck scale at work (accurate to 2 pounds). It was 100% stock with everything at the time and 1/2 tank of gas.

my 83 was 2330, full tank of gas bone stock.



gsl-se is a porky 2540.....

Getting rid of the stock exhaust relieves alot of weight! No more heavy catalytic convertes! Same goes with the A/C and airpump, so much dead weight. When I get the car back its gonna get the grinder to it and the sound deadening material along with the rest of the interior is going with it.



I also was running without a stereo when i weighed it, lol. I think about 3/4 tank of gas.
