[tlo86]

wtf. i said how could you make it lighter without making it Ugly?????
I like the comfort, thats why i dont want to go all out...and make it track car.
so dont talk shi=]

ive always wanted a track car

It's possible to lighten the car up and keep all the comforts.... but you're going to be doing a lot of fabbing and spending a lot of money on good light weight sound insulation and so on.

[chris717]

was the 86.5 the lightest???

 

[supramike7m]

no i believe 89 was the lightest, after that they had better, more option, and got heavier.

 

[CRE]

Anyone else have door tags which state ~4500lbs?

 

[MA717MGTE]

my 87 Targa Turbo manual says @ 4300 iirc

 

[supradavenz]

Isnt the jza70R the light weight supra? Out of curiousity whats the turboA like?

To keep the comforts id say best you car do is remove the front bar (risky if u crash) change the front seats with some nice light aftermarket ones, Light weight mags + spare, Replace sound deadner with aftermarket sound dampener mat, CF or fyberglass hood..

anythn else?

 

[CRE]

I was also under the impression the 86.5 was the lightest. Does anyone have any documentation on the weight of the various years?

front sway bar? yeah remove it on track day when you are at the drag strip and never turn... not for everyday use... thats just dangerous...

Mine weighed 3820 with a 1/4 tank of gas and me in it.

I'm weigh 200. so I would guess around 3600 depending on how much gas you have in it.

GVWR: Gross vehicle weight rating. The total maximum weight a car is designed to carry including the weight of the car, passengers, equipment, gas, oil, etc.

Guess I need to hit the Cat scales next time I'm over that way in my 86.5

 

[supraboy]

gasoline weighs like 6 and 1/4 so you guys can get pretty close to exactly how much your car weighs with that

I thought CAT scales only worked for big rigs?

 

[cuel]

Nope. You can weigh your car at any truck stop with scales, just prefer the cat certified ones. Either that, or weigh it at the track.
