edmunds has the 94 being the porkiest of the years, and my registration shows a hefty 2980, it certainly feels heavy but not that heavy...

does anyone know what they did and what can be removed

oh, mine is just a regular G20, no leather or sunroof, and of course 5-speed... maybe some dumbass was on the scale when they weighed it...i dunno..

1993.5 weighed 2877 for the 5spd

Everything can. Seats, interior, door panels, stereo,... But why? these are the things that make your car nice and quiet and comfortable.

I agree with trbobrk on this one. The G20 CAN be a fast car, just strip it all out and work mega $$$ under your hood, but that's not what makes the car so great. The car's great cuz it's NICE and still has some power potential. If you wanted a full racer-kinda car, you could've gone for a B13 Sentra chassis...probably one of the lightest cars that'll hold an SR20. G20s are heavy, but they're nice too.

They are about 500 pounds lighter. Strip its guts, suspension, rollcage, recaro, DET=Race car

Yup. I've seen it done several times. There's this guy at the street races...I thought at first: damn, he thinks he's fast in that shitty car? *looked ghetto, primered, torn up seats* but as soon as I heard a blow-off from a turbo, I suddenly had respect for him.

There's also one at SR20DEvelopmenT. No interior at all, no seats, no paint, no nothing. Just one Recaro, a NOS bottle next to him, and a turbo SR20VE under the hood.

 

[trbobrk]

...Just one Recaro...

Which cost about the same as the car donated to this little project. :lol:

 

[808g20]

nah, I didn't mean it that way... I'm not about to strip useful stuff, just maybe if it had excessive bumper supports or things like that..

really just wondering why the 94 is so much heavier than say a 91..

I don't think it is. We went over this before, here is what we came up with.

i gotta wonder how they do the weighing that goes onto the title/registration

mine says 2980, and mine is basic as you can get.... not a single option... i really want to go get it weighed now.. haha

 

[Mike.Com]

Well dang I'm just gonna have to go have my car weighed now. I always see this truck weighing place in downtown so I'll go get weighed later. I'm low on gas too so it's a perfect time.

I hope it's less than 2900 lbs. I'll let you guys know.

Don't know, mine doesn't say.

Mmmmmmmmmmmm...... NX2000 = 2500lbs + sr20...
