I used a crude weigh bridge to weigh my colt last year and it came in at 1120kilos without any fuel or driver in it.

I have subs and amps etc. Also i have leather.

So who has the lightest? etc

I have been meaning to weigh the car but have not gotten around to it. I might be able to go to a rubbish dump and just ask them to weigh it for me (They weigh your car on the way in and again on the way out and charge you accordingly).

The kerb weight is listed officially as 1130kg for both 06 and 08 models, but I am not sure how much fuel that assumes. I have also seen 1110kg written somewhere.

The 08 model has lighter wheels (around 8kg each) than the 06 model (9.5kg each), but I believe that the 06 model's Recaro front seats are about 8kgs lighter each than the bucket seats in the 08 model (16kgs), which ought to result in the 06 model being 10kg lighter.

Not weighed mine but I estimate;

+ 1130kg stock

- 30kg back seats

= 1100kg

+ 15kg Sub

= 1115kg

+ 200kg my fat arse

= 1315kg

Errr you weigh 200kg fauxpas? Anyway, I've never weighed mine either, but I have an 06 model with enkei rpf1's (6.1kg each) plus a sub in the car. So mine should be about the stock standard weight.

Shouldve gotten weighed at the drags. But the line was too long.

I think on the rego papers it says 1170kgs?

As Macca stated, our car is 'supposed' to weigh 1130kg with fluids.
