Dumped the ex.
EDIT: The spare tire is gone, but that's it so far. It's a targa so I figured why even bother.

No spare tire, the area was rusted out so I cut it out and covered/welded it with a solid piece of sheet metal. Also planning to take out the rear seats since I have no friends, and nobody in their right state of mind volunteers to sit in the back of a mk3. :biglaugh:
A lot.
But this is a race car. I'm planning on having it under 3000lbs with the cage. That picture is from when we measured it and it was still stock suspension and stock wheels and all the HVAC stuff was still in the car.

haha nice
i pulled up the carpet and ditched the nasty moldy insulation material and along with the tire thats about all i did
nothing...
in fact my IC pipes are heavier than stock...
same with my swaybars...
My wheels are a hell of a lot lighter than the stock saws though... same with the DDP compared to the stock elbow and DP...

All of the heater/ac, spare tire, interior plastic trim, dashboard, center arm rest, trunk wood, power antenna, cruise control, tems, washer fluid bottle, rear seats.
On the list, light driver/pass seats, sheet metal dash, battery to the trunk.

Nothing at all.Well besides the charcoal canister and the EGR system.I already have a light car..my civic. My supra loves the intersate and i love the luxury feel(ie. AC and power seats) I'll never remove the spare because if theres one thing i hate its being stranded 50 miles from home with a flat tire.

One of the other sites I host (http://www.suprahardtopregistry.com/ ) has weights for a MKIV. It may not be 100% accurate for a MKIII, but it should give you a general idea of what things weigh.
Just hit the Curb Weight Calculator link.

whoa, thought that was my car for a second...then I noticed the lack of rust....and the lack of a targa.
ive dropped all the ac components, ps, charcoal canister, and pretty much all other emissions. also, my exhaust is lighter than stock. i need to relocate my battery, but i don't really want to deal with the on off switch when i drag. i also want to get sport seats, the driver seat weighs 80 lbs.
Hey, either of you guys with just chassis, are they still like that and would you be able to weigh it?
