Earlier this year, I switched to a career in real estate. As a lead generation idea, I picked up a set or corner scales last week. Basically, if you're a car guy, I'll weigh your car for free. I mention that I also sell real estate if the owner needs any help in that area in the future, and write the corner weights on a business card.

I thought I would create a database of the cars I've done here for fun and update it when I can.

oh and Seth reminded me, the weight of the driveshaft

this one

Noize

iTrader: (24)

Is that like 5lb?

Robevo RS

iTrader: (16)

don't know , but unreasonably heavy. lol There is a lot of dead metal on the Evo X , which we removed and caused no harm for me. BUT my car is not a DD. So I cant comment for a DD car would be also problem free.
In a homologation documents they actually list and even show in pictures many of those metal pieces you can take out. But again that is for race cars.
Since neither of my car is really a DD, I can do these freely

8 = 3305 lbs
10 = 3303 lbs

8 had 14.5 gallons of gas so 87lbs of fuel

10 had 3 gallons of gas so 18lbs of fuel

So normalizing the 8 for fuel = 3236 lbs

Your 10 really only weighs 67lbs more than that 8? Wow.
