What's your swapped rx7 weigh?
« on: December 12, 2010, 04:20:07 PM »
I don't know if this has been a topic before so please excuse me or point me in the right direction. I've been thinking about getting into another swapped fd and was wondering how much the typical swapped fd(or other models) weigh. My c5z tips the scales at 3280 with myself(185) and a 1/2 tank. Trying to get some comparisons.

Please add the following

model/year trim level
weight reduction if any
drivetrain specs (iron block/8.8 etc)

My 87 TII 302 T5 weighed 2660 with out me in it.  Full interior, power windows and sunroof, heat, wipers.  It did not have power steering, air conditioner, stereo, or inner bumper structures. 
I would never want to be a member of a forum that would choose to censor information.
