Went to a truck stop to see what me evo would weigh in at. I was quite impressed to see that is was lighter then I expected. 3160LB with a quarter tank of gas. Spare, Jack, etc was in the car. No weight reduction was done.

 

im so going to the truck stop when my car stops leaking o.O

 

I so have to do that for a baseline as all I have now is a catback.

 

Definately a lot lighter then I expected.

Someone should do an Evo 8 now!

 

mines a evo8 with evo 9 engine in iti :P does that count?

 

I weighed in at 3075 in my MR at SCCA Nationals, but I now have a 5spd, have plenty of power/suspension mods that are lighter than stock, rims/tires HEAVIER than stock, no spare/jack/tools/rear speakers/rear seatbelts, and less than an 1/8th tank of gas. However, the other Evos were significantly lighter than mine.

In normal mode with all the regular stuff in the car minus the jack and tools, I used to weigh in at 3150 with a 1/4-tank and all the interior, which tells me that 3160 WITH the jack and tools, a heavier turbo, and a much heavier aftermarket FMIC doesn't add up.

 

I thought for sure that I would weigh in at 3300-3500. I am not sure if it is because the MR is lighter or if it is that the parts installed are lighter. Maybe a combo of both. Anyway for 8 bucks everyone should have it done. Make sure you only get on one of the scales. It is divided up into three. You will see what I mean if you go to one.

 

I am guessing that because the exhaust and IC piping are lighter this might negate any of the added weight for the turbo and FMIC. I was also told by the dealer that the 9 MR was the lightest of all evo's Not quite sure considering the RS would be lighter but like I said before I am very happy with the outcome of the weight. Just to let everyone know. Interstate Scales Gerrantees the weight within 10lbs

 

No, we all know the weights of Evos, and MRs are the 2nd heaviest of all with only the GSR w/SSL being heavier. Curb weight of the MR is 3285lbs, GSR is 3263, and RS is 3217, although many people have shown RS weights to be much lower.

Yes, your IC piping and exhaust are lighter than stock, but canceling out the weight of those heavier items is not the same as being much much lighter than stock.

You can weigh for free at many places - no need to pay $8 anywhere. Most tracks have scales to use...

 

I weighed my (former) VIII on a truck scale and it was exactly what Mitsu said it weighed.

 

My Evo IX MR before I installed my 4 pt. Roll bar (gutted rear, no spare jack etc with 1/2 tank gas w/out me in the car weighed 3063.
3218 w/ me and the following cross %.
RF to LR%=50.1
LF to RR%=49.8

 

I don't think that the AMS turbo is heavier then the stock. If so maybe by 10lbs. Cast manifolds are heavier in general the SS. Now the FMIC I would agree seemed quite a bit heavier. But nothing was removed and was really happy to see 3160 when I was expecting 3500. TX Motorplex last time charged me 20 dollars to weigh in my Greddy TT 350z.

 

I weighed my 05 Evo 8 stock and it was 3250lbs. With tank almost full.
It was at a scale in a Fedex Warehouse to measure the outgoing trucks.

 

***ing light man

 

Wow these weights are much lighter than published....encouraging! Anyone get an MR under 3000 without stripping the interior?
