2G Curb Weight Breakdown

[jw4free]

So I spent a couple weeks disassembling a 96 GSX. I weighed all the components and made a spreadsheet. The vehicle was missing a few things, so I currently have estimates for these weights. This is my 2000lb scale that I used for the weights. It measures to the 0.1lb.

I will try and attach a spreadsheet with the numbers. It is currently 209 entries long. Please help with these 12 items.
Fog light assemblies,
Front wiring harness including engine bay fusible box back to the under dash fusible box (complete and uncut),
left or right fender,
radiator fan (for AC),
Stock intercooler,
stock intercooler plumbing,
Emissions control canister & bracket,
ABS Manifold (left front corner of engine bay,
Cruise control assembly,
Sunroof glass, and
Control Harness.

For clarity, all weights are without hardware where sensible.

additional tags: component weight, part weight, weights, weigh, weighs.

See attached spreadsheet.

[jw4free]

Thanks. I'll keep updating the file with verified weights and credit the source.

this is awesome. thanks man

Wait..You said disasembling the car..Not cutting it up..

I would like to see a 1g done like this too..

 

[jw4free]

I had to get it into small enough pieces to weigh.

For reference the tan boxes are estimates. These will be updated as weights are received.

 

[fjm9898]

looking over that table i could probably fill in some blanks if i had a scale. i have much of my NT i pieces right now as well.

 

[jw4free]

Updated the spreadsheet. Need somemore garage time. Inlaws are in town.

Thanks for the weights!

I bet you could find a buyer if you cut the top panels off the front strut towers where they typically rust out.

Answered all of my questions. What a guy! Thanks!
Does this make anyone else sad to see though?

Didn't even know this existed until today. Very Useful! Thanks!

This car was a parts car because the left front was caved in bad by an Accident. Someone had cut the left shock tower out of the carnage. (Apparently the receiving car’s passenger side was just fine.) Also, the rocker panels (in front of the rear wheels had cancer). The front drivetrain, engine harness & engine bay stuff, gray interior seats, dash were gone and not part of the sale.

I salvaged everything I could think of (and haul around for spares). Rear suspension, driveshaft & ‘95 transfer case, fuel tank assembly, rear hatch, trunk panels, center console, front suspension, axles, bolts, hardware, etc.

There were a few pieces that are worth something, that I did not comprehend at the time. Right front tower, awd driveshaft mounts, awd subframe mounts, passenger door. For that I’m sorry.

However, this 1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX with rear LSD, sunroof and ABS (price class TBD) has furnished invaluable weight data.

And to add, I will document available component weights as my ‘95 is up on blocks awaiting a thorough cleaning and reassembly.

Fantastic. I am starting to digest the info. Adding a couple tabs to the excel spreadsheet. Notably, your data, and then a 1G Specific tab, and a Green Manalishi Buildout Tab.

Request, does any member have a set of corner scales they would be willing to share in the name of a precise weight measurement (of the chassis) and subsequent additions. to validate the unit weights? (obviously I'd cover shipping costs).

amazing work, thanks, for reference, one front bare steering knuckle weighs 16 lbs
