My car is fat.

[EXtremeAccord]

I don't know if this should be a tech post, or what. But I just checked out how much my baby weighs and it's 3,815 lbs! Dude... '05 Miata weighs 2785 and '05 RX-8 weighs 3675... Someone have a remedy for my sudden nausea?

 

[BodyDroppedNikes]

start taking non-essential shit such as backseat, door panels, a/c, etc. out to get the weight down

 

[hcivic.com]

do like some guys do start with the plasma tourch and get rid of all the extra metel

 

[EXtremeAccord]

Righteous. That will be my last resort if no one decides to buy this dang car. You know what... even better idea... Save up my money, buy some engine mounts and a 90 CRX... and drop that F22 in that mo fugga! Does that sound like a sound plan, gentlemen?

1991 Honda Accord LX 2dr, automatic. Fast... considering.

Fuck that thing is like a 1000 pounds less than Silverado. That thign is fucking heavy

 

[EXtremeAccord]

Zoom zoom. Then something is wrong with my engine. Because I'm going too fast for the weight, in my honest opinion. Where's the closest dyno to Modesto?

 

[nfn15037]

No way it is that heavy! Maybe the max vehicle weight is 3815 lbs but i bet you it is a sub-3k lb car. Put it in a scale and let us know what it really weighs.

 

[EXtremeAccord]

All I'm asking is someone point me in the way of a dyno shop... and I'll post my cars sheeit.

Oakdale.
And it's called the yellow pages.

That's gotta be the curb weight. a Supra targa, 1986.5-1992 weighs that much, and that thing is a beast.

No, he's probably looking at GVWR, not curb.

 

[phunky.buddha]

I was about to say... but Ji beat me to it. That's the GVWR, not the curb weight.

 

[TurboMirage]

taken from edmunds.com

Wheelbase was increased by nearly 5 inches (now 107.1 inches), and weight went up, though even the heaviest Accord, the EX four-door, still weighed less than 3000 pounds.

edmunds accord history

took me two, TWO seconds to find that.

 

[IDMaxGuy]

taking out random dash stuff looses weight like crazy... you have about 100 pounds worth of wiring in the car... take out your dead matting for sound... thatll help... spare tire, oh and how much do you weight

 

[brian11to1]

There's no way the Accord ways damn near 2 tons. Sub 3k sounds better.

 

[dohcvtec_accord]

Hey kids....quit arguing.

From Edmunds.com:

Curb Weight: 2822 lbs.

I don't think Honda has ever produced a car even near 3800 pounds, SUV's and such excluded of course.
