Cool Weighed My Z Tonight...

I need to balance my suspension weight. I put the car on a set of scales to see how far out of whack it was. Not too bad, but, needs adjusting. What surprised me was the total weight. Pretty light considering all the steel I welded into the interior. I really thought it would be a lot heavier.

On The Scales



Here are the numbers



This is a little lighter than a stock '86 z31 turbo would weigh. I can live with that.

HOLY CARP! (yes, spelled like the fish on purpose).

Damn. That's light.

Oh, and I must have missed it in my extended vacation. When did you get the Motegis. And what size/offset are they?

Dude what did you do to get it that light!? That's like the weight of a 280Z with the big bumpers on it.
