Rough idea of the weight of my car please

[2barGee]

Right she is a 1995 tin top, no aircon, no abs, no spare wheel light weight wheels.

How much does this model weigh when it comes out of the factory??

I'll give a turkey sandwich 2 whoever reply's first

Cheers dan

MK2 MR2's are roughly 1250kg out of the factory according to wikipedia.

I'm not sure how accurate that is or for what model though. I would have thought the turbo with ABS, aircon etc and all the toys would weigh a good bit more than a N/A with no toys.

Iv'e read quite a few different posts about the weight of mr2's when i wanted to know mine, opinion varies on it really i think the weight that came up most often was around 1240 kgs, take into account the weight of the things you dont have, abs,air-con etc id say it would be somewhere around 1200 maybe abit lighter

Hope this helps

Oooo well if it is around 1200kg's then on my new setup which should be sorted in the next few weeks I'll be gettin these figures

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 400
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1200
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 338.68
0 - 60 (Secs) : 3.80
0 - 100 (Secs) : 8.50
60 - 100 (Secs) : 4.70
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.00
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 118.84
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 11.90
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 120.21


I've got r888's as well so perhaps 0-60 in 3.6 would be pretty sweet

I've had a few pm's about the Calc above

the website is

letstorquebhp.com

on my old set up the 1/4 miles times wa pretty much spot on

Only official figures I've seen are for UK rev3+ (which don't often have aircon)

Sunroof: 1285kg
T-Bar: 1310kg

I did would have thought 1250kg
1300-1320 is prob a closer number for a 93+ turbo tbar. so minus tbar, 1270-1280. Minus your other stuff down to 1250.

There are very few mr2s stripped below 1200, so safe to say unless it's a stripped out track car, prob looking at 1250ish.

What you having done?? Did the engine give up the ghost?
Thought you wanted to see how far a stock engine would go on your td06?

IIRC i took car to a local weigh-bridge, with half a tank and me and a small sub woofer, and Air Conditioning it was 1345KG.

Mines a Rev 5 Turbo Hardtop. 1998 GTS

hi mate, I'm having 86mm cp pistons fitted & a hks turbo.

I wanted some more power & the stock pistons where the weak point, I prob could have pushed it on the standard pistons but I wanted 2b safe.
Shame the cp set was missing a compression ring!!! I would have had my car back ages ago!!!!!!!!

Check your last MOT certificate and associated print outs, mine has weight info from when they did the suspension tests I think.

1400kg for a Rev3 tubby

1400?!?! whats yours made of? LEAD?!?!

[Revo]

Must be

Maybe that includes the mechanic if they are sitting in the car at the time? lol

[willfinch36]

Mechanic must of been about 20 stone then! lol

[Revo]

rofl, god knows. Just saying what I saw on the MOT

[loudandproud205]

am hoping to have my rev1 to around 1100kgs as its easier to loose weight than add power

[travisfububarker]

My rev1 (NA t-bar, no PAS, no ABS) weight is down to 1120kg with 3/4 of a tank(30kg?) thats without going too extreme or expensive
With carbon/fibreglass parts i think 1050 is possible?

btw my car is fully stripped out :-p

my 99 rev5 G-limited T-bar was 1255kg with the guy from the belgian equivalent of MOT in it. not entirely sure if he was in it tho
