just to let all of you know...i just weight my car and it came out to 2700lbs...which is like 80lbs more than with my ka motor...just some useful info i thought...i think the added weight comes from the intercooler and piping myself though.

did you upgrade your brakes or get newer tires and rims?

dude take your mexican smuggles out of the spare tire. You said it was like 80lbs of dank right?? lol jp. Maybe your gaining weight yourself? Or were you out of the car. I would hope you notice if you gained 80 lbs lol. Im just messin with ya.

The intercooler and shit would add weight, but i doubt it would add 80 lbs. Its probably the gas amount. Atleast that seems more logical to me. Cuz i doubt you added any stereo equipment if you like to slide. Which would have been my next guess.

yea no stereo equipment in my car. i had a brain fart...the weight on the door of the car is without fluids...so i suppose that would be the diffrence...and the 2700lbs is with out anyone in the vehicle...its 2850lbs with me in it.

yeah that doesnt seem right, condsidering the ka is an iron block and the sr is aluminum.

dont know...it actually came out to 3240lbs..but with 500lbs in people...3/4 tank of gas, fluids, and maybe 50lbs of my stuff in the car...do the math i suppose it could be lower than 2700...(shrug)

yea im planning on getting the c/f hood and trunk, and i wish i could get the door skins...but they only make those for the s14 :( ...then i'll be getting heavier when i get my gt2871r turbo...but i think the extra 100hp will make up for the 5lb diff in turbo...dont you think...lol

someone makes cf doors for s13s for $900... if only i could remember who. i know importfan makes them for 1200 but thats definitely too steep (as if 900 isn't steep enough)
