Anyone ever put their car on a scale?

RTSGVR-4 · Post by **RTSGVR-4** » Wed Jul 01, 2009 8:23 am

Has anyone on here ever put their car on a scale? If you have, what did it weigh? How about we do it like this:

Year
Trim/model
addition or reductions to weight
weight as weighed on scale

Im trying to get a feel for which trim level weighs what on the 90-94 and 95-99. I cant seem to find definitive answers, and the curb weights on mine seem incorrect. Which seems likely as the curb weight on my brothers 2.5RS is a few hundred lbs off. Thanks!

I weighed in on a scale at a drag strip before....

1992
Legacy SS 5mt no airbag
Intercooler, 16g turbo, Full 3" SS exhaust w/ up-pipe and cross-pipe, Light weight flywheel, some other mods, none weight saving.
IIRC it was 3080 lbs. That was with a box of tools in the trunk too that probably weighed around 50 lbs.

I remember that everyone was surprised cause most of the WRX sedans were weighing in around 3200+ lbs.

Imagine if they only weighed 2K lbs like my metro! WEEEEEE!

And isnt the curb weight on the SS's like 3300 lbs? Anyone ever weigh an L?

I weighed mine the same day as Matt. If I remember right, mine was a pig... Maybe 3800 pounds? I didn't empty out the trunk or anything (and, believe me, my trunk is full of tools and parts) and the car has a trailer hitch and drawbar on it.

I had thought I weighed it again when I did the turbo swap, but I can't find that info.

At the time it was just an L. I've got a good 50-70 lb speaker box in the trunk. Plus fuel is going to probably be around 150-170 lbs at least.

So I now have a 90 L AWD and I just weighed it. with a bit less than half a tank, its 2910. Heavier than I expected and hoped.

90 LS FWD N/A
I believe i took at everything so i could make sure it was just me and the car.

98 GT, 5-speed, 1/3 tank, me not in the car:

Very nice Jamal.

Anything out of the ordinary to obtain that weight? Interior, trunk, spare etc.?

I didn't think the BDs were that light.

jamal · Post by **jamal** » Wed Aug 05, 2009 6:01 am

no weight reduction at all. I think I might have even had the roof racks on at the time. A lighter hood and battery would certainly be nice.

Is that with a cage or anything? how stripped of an interior? No dash?

I weighed the white SS at the strip last week. it weighed 3145 with me, 1/2 tank of gas, 2 kiddie booster seats, a helmet, laptop, a few tools, etc.

My SS was 3050 without me in it...including gas, subwoofer, small toolbox

You guys sure have allot of SS's. Noone rocks an NA around here?

kimokalihi · Post by **kimokalihi** » Thu Oct 15, 2009 1:49 am

Sure they do but everyone one here wants a turbo car. I've had 2 NA legacys both 90's and now I finally have my turbo 91.
