A New Beginning

the solo season where im at starts in july so i began ordering parts. Xida-S 700/450, RB 1.125" tubular front sway with blocks, supermiata endlinks, and 15x9 6UL in matte black all from emilio at 949. my friend and codriver for the season got some 225/45/15 hankook ventus r-s3 for us from tirerack

weighed the car in "stock" form in my garage on a borrowed set of scales. the real way to do this i hear is to actually level the scales first, but that's too much work and i'm still on stock suspension so I just wanted to get a ball park figure. what I ended up doing was taking some weights with the front in first, then the same weights again with the rear of the car in first, then averaging the 2. if my thinking here is flawed please let me know, but again it wasn't very important to be accurate, just looking for ball park baseline figures. in fact, i've never weighed a car before so if anything is wrong here definitely let me know lol! the total weights seem to still be relevant anyway

so with that in mind as well as other variables not accounted for and forces from the wind and the alignment of the moon blah blah blah, here are the results!

the car was about 2285lbs, a little less than a half tank of gas, the spare tire kit (the spare, the jack, and the board with the tools clipped to it) is about 24-25lbs (i put the main carpet back in to cover up the spare tire well), and i weighed myself on one of the scales at 140lbs

and the averaged corner weights with me in the car, top down, no spare and kit
