1987 GXL



These were with the home scale, so they arent the most accurate.



instrument panel, with gauge cluster, speakers, amp, HVAC controls. No stereo. - 40#



heater box - 10# (some coolant left in core)

blower motor/box - 9#

 

1987 GXL



drivers seat, leather, w/mounting bracket - ~38#



again, home scale... it's almost 40# though! anyone know the weight of the other seats available? the pimpy one is standard in the GXL, I suspect it's the heaviest.

 

88 GXL

Cloth seat = 30#s

Front carpet w/ tar section(under seats) = 30#s

Passenger Door panel w/ power window switch = 8#s

 

Gas tank "assembly" (includes tank, fuel pump, filler neck, and attachment straps) - 35lbs

I didn't expect it to be that heavy.

 

ABS Pump, ABS CPU, Harness, Mounting Brackets, Mounting bolts and nuts - 20lbs give or take a few ounces.

I found a truck scale and weighed the car, which is an 87 base with a five lug swap, 91 Coupe wheels with 205/60 Potenzas, stock exhaust, fire extinguisher, steel doughnut spare, stock aluminum jack, and ~2 gallons less than a full tank of gas. The car weighed 2420 pounds. The rear axle weighed 1220, for a 1200 / 1220 distribution front to rear, or 49% / 51%.

 

S4 NA steel hood ~47lbs

 

holy crap 2420 foir a base like mine? i have a base also with 5 lug swap but GXl rims no spare (whats the use of a 4 lug spare?), no jack and single exahust. i must weigh maybe 2400 or less.

 

my goal is to hit 1100 kilos on the dot.





that would be perfect as i dynod my car at 210 at the wheels giving it a good power to weight ratio . right now its at 2600 pounds even but im gettting 8pound racing rims , and im going to be putting my sparco seats in and i have a stainless 1 side exhaust wich is alot lighter than stock.





my question is it possable to hit 2420 on a street driven t2 withought full stripped interior?



what does the sunroof weigh?

and the 3 inch thick foam underlay beneath the seats?

also has anyone weighed the sunroof **** ie glass motors ?



im thinking of getting it covered when i paint my car.
