Facelifts would be lighter from my experience :)

 

Last month I replaced one of my front seatbelt mechanisms. The prefacelift one was a hefty solid thing compared to my old one.

 

Also noticed, thinner driveshafts to go with the smaller diff.

 

But then again, they got hit with ABS :)

Are those figures with fuel and a driver or are they dry weights?

 

The figures are curb weights, the measurement of these vary from country to country, in Japan I believe it's measured with all fluids, half a tank of fuel and no driver.

Mine weights without driver and an empty fuel tank 1.372 kg.

We actually reseted the weighting system because I couldn't believe it was below the 1400 mark.

 

So really not bad for a Mkiv.

 

I guess mine was the lightest supra available. '93 SZ 5-Speed.

So no abs, airbags, sportroof, turbos etc.

But it does have a retrofitted active spoiler :)

 

Well I do have to add that it has quite a lot of mods done to it... So for example my custom exhaust system (header midpipe, etc.) is much lighter than stock.

PS: compare the power per kg of a full equipped stock UK-Spec to that.... :D

this is as confusing as near side and offside kerbs :S

:shrug: Nearside = near to the kerb; offside = not near to the kerb.

 

Dry / wet weights just vary country-to-country. The only way to be sure would be to weigh your own car. Apparently it's possible to do that at a truck weigh station although of course you wouldn't know exactly how accurate the scales actually are. :)
