Weighed my TII today..
I found a stone/sand place today that weighed my car for me, and it came out to 2620 w/o me in it. Does that sound reasonable for an 87 TII with no emissions, cruise, no PS, no AC, no spare or tools, 3" single turboback, and S5 rims?

I used the Digital scale we use for our trucks to be DOT lawfull. The man is evil and happy with his pen.

Stock TII ~2845
Stock GXL manual ~2625
EDIT:
Those are for S4's, s5's numbers are different (more).

My old S4 GXL, stock, with leather interior and a sub, came in at 2740.
My current Sport with a bit of weight redux is hovering around 2450. (2580 stock.)
Overall, for the weight to be falling in the average non-turbo weight class is pretty good.

Yeah, sometime this week Im gonna take the carpet out, seperate the foam from it, and remove all of the sound deadening in the car also. Does anyone have any ideas how much weight that would save? After I can afford some more mods, I'm probably going to put some Recaro non-reclinable seats in it also..

I have lighter wheels, alum hood and no rear interior

Hmm I've been wondering what I'll weigh in at.
S4 GTU(power sunroof,mirrors,PS, and AC) With CF TII hood and TII engine/tranny.
I'm hoping I'll still be lighter than a stock TII since I don't have some of the luxuries a GXL or TII came with.
Oh yeah.............
For a cheap weight check.
Go to your local Garbage fill lot and get weighed. I bet you can either slip the guy some $$ or you can do it the legit way.
Say you have garbage in the hatch.
They will weigh you when you go in.
Then weigh youwhen you leave to figure your garbage output.
That's how I found out my old truck weighed 2300lbs

I'll be running to the dragstrip after I get all of my tuning done, so maybe I could weigh my car there.
Personally I have an '86 base with power windows and a sunroof, w/ racing seats, aluminum hood, no jack/spare, and I'd like to remove my A/C system. Also, I think this single cat/header system I have weighed at something like 35lbs. less than the stock cats and exhaust manifold.
