Hey,

 

Just had my ke55 weighed at the dump and it came back as 1150kg without anyone inside. Much

heavier than I thought but it had a fair bit of fuel in it. Car also has an sr20det, r31 diff, big stereo etc.

 

Curious what other peoples corollas weigh ranging from stock to modified? Although more interested to find out what some modified ones weigh.

That was the weight of the car without me in it. I am not sure I trust the dump weigh bridge either but its the only way I could think of to get a semi accurate weight. I used the same bridge to weigh my 1jz Corona and it came up as 1150 as well without me in it. Which is strange that the little Corolla could weigh as much as larger cars. I guess it all adds up.

bridge is clearly wrong if the corona was the same, from other weights i have seen i doubt it could be that heavy.

 

I weighed the Corona years ago. I think that's what it came up as from memory. Also it had the stock diff, stock brakes, stock wheels and no stereo. My Corolla had almost a full tank of fuel. I reckon if I minus off 30kg for that, get a normal or lightweight battery, removed the stereo/boot install and the back seats/carpet etc I could get the weight down to just over 1000kg-1050. But I would never ruin the car for the sake of a few kg!

 

Have you weighed yours out of interest?

That's colossal. My Silvia in full trim and a full tank was 1180kg.

My AE82 Twin-Cam hatchback with a full tank of fuel but no carpet, back seats or rear interior plastics weighed in at 960kgs. No power steering or air-conditioning gear fitted either.

 

Edit: Just realised this is the KExx section, my bad.... :blush:

Comparison perhaps?

Yep that's what I was comparing it to as well. Had a few friends with Silvias weighing from 1150-1200ish. I'm amazed. I dunno if I trust that weight now.
