what the weight of a 1st gen? & mayb some thing striped out like tims drag car
1200Kg ish ... would like to get one on weighbridge.
so stiped out may be 1000kgs
stripped out you can get it down to around 900 kilo\'s.

The last one i built for modfieds cam in at 926 kg,we had a limit of 950 minimum(sp) weight,
why is a smaller 1st gen almost as much as a 3rd gen?
cos there was so much uneeded c..(sorry) bits on the car,the overall length and width is smaller but there is so much old school s.....on it,remember its all steel ..
I can believe it, but its a supprise, If I look under the bonnet I can climb in there, and the 3 rd gen you cant move. And its so small next to it. So tune a 3rd gen as opposed to a 1st for same gains.
some interesting reading here http://ausrotary.dntinternet.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=51976&highlight=trip+weigh+bridge
... how much does a third gen REALLY weigh then ?
With the 1 st gen...you can really get you imagination take the road...put the motor and gearbox where you want to.and work around that,the suspension work is easier cos there is more room and more "meat" to work with,its more robust ?you can cut and weld,scupltor etc.and its more SEXY
thank you people.was only to c how much tims car weighs,
My car weighs about 1050kg,maybe less.

I loved my 1st gen. :) Can you put a 13b engine and gearbox in a 1st gen? :cheers
Sorry tim call me a liar with my weights with you in it(diff of 124 kgs) i am 60 kgs out on your work....YES YES YES you can put a 13B in the 1st Gen...wherever you want and how you want....you can even cut the firewall and sort the 2 part propshaft....the first gen is so cool..............
Thats interesting. :evillaugh
It\'s just that when i have the funds I will be replacing the rebuilt engine I\'m running in at the moment with a new RE and uprated gearbox etc so I will be looking for somewhere to put it. :rollin ANSWERS ON A POST CARD NOT ON THE FORUM. :spank
That was 1050kg without me in it,so yours is a fair bit lighter,seems I have more to remove.
Bearing in mind all removable panels and doors were not steel and front fenders were were half size cos the wheels were so big,half the ass was cut out ot accomodate the reworked rear suspension,roll cage was light weight materials,windows were ultra thin etc
I think the back seats must come out of mine now

I would guess they were dry weights from mazda figures or the like. I.e. no oil, water, fuel etc.
And the US got some real poverty spec models without all the electrics we got + it could be an SA22C and not an FB
oh well i guess ill have a definitive answer soon enough i reckon i got 100kgish out of my fb according to my bathroom scales.. looks a bit sparce inside tho... ooops.
just checked the de-registration document for an FD
net weight is 1250kg
620 front and 630 rear.
