I always hear about weight reduction... But, who has the car with the most of it? It has to have an engine and same or better performance than stock. lol What is the lightest an FD has weighed in at?

 

Its not a fair compairison because the cars were weighed on different scales... who the hell knows which scale is calibrated :P

 

Mine is 2600lb wet w/o driver. And that does include quite a hefty cage.

I know Peter Farrell got his Bridgestone Supercar Series car down to roughly 2400lb wet. And that also includes a comparable cage. However, the extent of his efforts to make the FD that light are fairly prohibitive for the average enthusiast...

Of course, you didn't specify whether tube-frame cars should be included. If that's the case, then I am certain there are some examples out there that weigh far less.

 

That is an unfair question i guess. lol Tube frame or not... I guess the track cars are going to win this one, but i have always wondered what they weigh.

 

mine is 2624lbs wet as measured on calibrated corner scales. this is without a cage though, and the car isnt done with its diet yet either. also as a note it has 49/51 front/rear and 52/48 side/side (both with driver) weight distribution, not bad.

 

oh mine is! Its as light as PAPER

 

Stock weight, stock power,

 

Yes, I should clarify that my car was weighed on calibrated scales as well. The exact figure was actually 2595lb, and that was with about 10 gallons of fuel. Then I add roughly 175lb to that figure.

 

Even at your post-whoring rate, you're not getting a custom tagline soon. Just get over it.

How'd you get a 96 FD in Canada? The one listed in your sig?

 

A better question... if he actually has an FD and presumably had it prior to joining the RX-7 Club forum, why would he use the alias "89Turbo944"?

Another... if he actually has an FD, how is it that he apparently knows absolutely nothing about it? See the thread on someone else asking about cracks in their PPF and his sage advice on the subject...

And finally... what's up with the '04 SL55 listed in his signature? It's either mom and dad's car, or we've got another JoeD on our hands...

 

mine weighed around 2720 lbs.... only thing removed was the a/c.......

 

mine was 2760 gas tank near empty... full body kit and stereo, touring.

missing a few parts from the front end and no spare tire

 

.......GOOD ONE JIM YOU SEEN RIGHT TRU
THAT FOOL

 

hey since we're both in vancouver, lets meet up. i want to check out your 96 rx7.. looks pretty good in your sig!

 

It sucks that its hard to get an accurate measure of your FD's weight. I'm going to add up everything i take out of my FD, and add what i put back in. I think 100lbs isn't too hard to do, with out comprimising safety. I know the stock wheels are light but is there a noticably lighter rim/tire setup for the street?

 

It was established in another thread that the FD in his signature is not his...

 

LOL! Thanks for lending a hand Jim

 

If/When you do see this "96" rx-7 - could you ask him why he put the 92-95 wing on it?

We've got him cornered in another thread...

Mine is hopefully around 2650 pounds. I've removed my A/C, Air pump, and then the mods listed in my sig ( + midpipe)
