Stock awd talon is at 3145 lbs. Almost 400 lbs lighter we are!!
Hey guys! I'm new here ....just got a 89 GT Hatch. Yeay!
haha Yeah for a stock Talon/Eclipse that sounds about right, but it real easy to take weight out of those cars.
I've got a 91 AWD talon and it wieghs 2780lbs with stock wheels/cheap tires(49lbs each
), Stock Seats (46lbs each), stupid automatic seat belts(30lbs each). I've taken out alot of stuff though already. AC, Switched power steering to manual steering, removed all emissions stuff, Spare tire/jack/tools removed. Front bumper cut to install a race FMIC, and removed rear bumper. All interior panels, and carpet are there, but you would notice there are no back seats. I cant wait until I get some lightweight seats, wheels, and harnesses. That should get me down to about 2630lbs which is very nice! BUT a 10pt cage is going cancel that weight saving so I'll be back to 2780lbs as my final weight.
My 93 Lancer EVO1 weighs 2740lbs with full interior, a full tank of gas, and all spare tire, jack, and tools ....So awesome! Then I took out the AC, and spare tire, Jack cause I have Triple AAA. ...havent weight it yet but I bet its around 2670lbs now.
I just picked up a 89 dodge colt GT. Its getting a 4G63 swap right now. (I love the 4G63!!) ....I havent got to drive the car yet, but I'm really excited! I'm happy to finally be apart of the Colt/Mirage Hatch crew! Halla!! ...its gonna be my new little toy (actually my daily driver, but its gonna be a fun daily driver) I love sleeper cars!!!
