Thanks for the weight. I'm gonna keep note of this link. Need to get some Diet Octane for your Turbo Spec

Did you get corner and/or unsprung weight on the spec-v by any chance?

Sounds about right, mine weighed 2870 lbs with me in the car.  I weigh a good 220 lbs, so about 2650 lbs without me in it.  My car is gutted though -- no rear interior, no audio, stripped trunk.

Anyone ever do corner weights and unsprung weight on the B15?

Water weighs 8.34 lbs/gallon.  Gas is lighter then water (water settles in gas) So it will be LESS than that.

6.15 gallons according to that, not sure of the accuracy but the weight of water is dead on.

EDIT::: temperature will affect density of gasoline, making it weigh more for the same gallon, so with it being colder it is probably a bit higher since the 6.15 is at 60* F.

its true that the density of fuel changes with temperature, but the change is so slight at average ground temp, that it's not really worth considering. The density of gasoline is 0.694 g / cm^3 at 300 K and 0.622 g / cm^3 at 400 K. Gas varies .072 kg/L from 27C to 127C (80 F to 260F)
So lets say you have 40L of fuel in the car, (a little more than 10 gal), the difference in weight over the 100 C range would be  2.88 kg, just under 6.5 lbs. Around ground temp, lets say over a range of 30C, which would pretty much cover freezing to hot temperatures, you would gain/lost under 2 lbs of weight. You could save that much weight by not eating lunch before going to the track.



On an unrelated note, i never really realized how heavy the evo's were. I really thought they would come in at under 3000lbs



yeah i'm bored. they really need to make school more interesting

alright,

Just weighed my 2003 SE-R SpecV w/ sunroof.

CF hood
CF trunk
17x7" TenzoR Mach 10 (19.2lb/ea)
JWT BSR
JWT clutch/flywheel
No fog lights
light crank pulley
Stripped behind the front seats - no rear seats, no rear seat belts, no brackets, no rear door paneling, trunk completely stripped, no spare, no jack, no nothing.
Front seat area completely normal
1/4 tank of gas
no one in car

2,520lbs

Im pretty pleased with that.

oh yeah, no turbo, btw.  i/h/e/cams/blahblahblah SAFC, all the bolt on/bolt in's.


next on the agenda is:
sunroof delete
rear power window delete
AC delete

thinking about radio delete, but I love my musics.

going turbo next year, so that'll add on some lbs.



hope this helps
