Let us know when you find out. Are you planning on pulling all the sound deading off the floor? Carpet, door skins, and headliner?

 

[blacknred01]

yes planning on pulling it all except the two front seats, and possibly pulling the pass seat to head to the track.

I'd be very surprised if you can find a way to get rid of any more than 400 pounds. And the second half of that is going to be a trip through hell.

 

[DSM_NOOBIE]

I"ll let you know once I can get the car running. I stripped everything from the rearseats on back.

400 pounds is a lot out of a 3000 pound car i would be happy with about 250 to be honest

I truly love how people specified what 1g they are talking about... AWD or FWD?

 

[Evo8MRdude]

my fully loaded 2g is 3974 lbs my 1g was 2800.. can't get over that.

Either there is something wrong with the scale you used or you are a 900lbs dude. One of my 1gen 91 GSX with glass roof and no spare tire and low on gas weighted 3110lbs at SIR(Tucson International raceway).
This Saturday , I weighted my 95 GSX whcih has leather and glass moonroof and weighted 3126lbs with low gas and fully loaded.

You are telling me that your first gen weights more thna my 94 Stealth R/T TT which weighted 3752lbs with lo gas and no spare tire?. No , I doubt it.

Awd is what im looking for, sorry i forgot to menton that.

I don't think you understand pal... my fully loaded 2g is 3974lbs.. I didn't use a scale, it's written in the door... my 1g AWD with no power options was about 2800lbs

Thats not correct, you mustve misread something, no dsm weighs that much unless you added all that weight, and that would be a lot to add. Ive seen the info on the wts between 1g and 2g before I just dont remember where I seen it because the vfaq.com link for the car weights doesnt seem to appear any more. I believe fully loaded awd 2gs dont weigh more than 3300 something, and loaded awd 1gs weigh no more than 3100 something. 1g Fwd weigh between 27 and 2800 and fwd 2gs I believe are just under 30 hundred.
Thats a rough rememberance though of what Ive seen from the two no exacts in there.
1gs are for fact lighter, and if removing everything for full drag its possible to get a 1g awd down to 2700 lbs and maybe a little less, but that would be a LOT of removing .

If you go all out, you can get it down to 2500lbs give or take 100lbs.

My 91 GSX with galss roof weighted 3110lbs with low gas at SIR1/4 track scale (Tucson). There is no way your 1 Gen weighted 2800lbs unless you did significant weight reduction

my friends 1g awd weighs 2800lbs

 

[HustlerTalon]

That's the vehicle weight with passengers. 4 persons at avg. 180 lbs I think. You do the math.

That's correct!

When my buddy bought a stock 91 AWD we weighed it at a weight station and it came up to about 3200lbs with nothing removed (no people in the car) and 1/2 gas tank.

To really shave weight from these cars allot of things need to be done.

Remove all the sound deadening material
Remove the padding from the carpet or the carpet entirely
Gut the rear half of everything including the seat belts
Get a lighter driver seat and just ditch the passenger seat on track days
Get light weight rims
Ditch the a/c system, EGR system, and swap to a manual steering rack
You can also remove the front and rear bumpers completely.Though I won't recommend this for the street for obvious reasons. You'll also have to figure out another way to mount the bumper covers.
Get a carbon fiber hood and rear hatch

This should get you started and still be relatively comfortable for daily driving. If you really want to go all out you can still ditch the center console, door panels, gut the inside frame of the doors, and cut some metal from the rear hatch area. There was a company that made a "plug" to replace the factory sun roofs but I can't remember who it was. Have fun.

1990 GSX = 3095lbs mine weighted 3110lbs stock, low gas, glass moonrof

http://www.edmunds.com/used/1990/mitsubishi/eclipse/2085/specs.html

95 GSX = 3120lbs. mine weighted 3126lbs stock, low gas,glass moonroof and leather

http://www.edmunds.com/used/1995/mitsubishi/eclipse/2733/specs.html

No need to argue. You said your eclipse weights 3974lbs and I said OK. The other guy says his buddy Eclipse weights 2800lbs and I also say OK.

Since the person that open the topic hasn't even bother to specify what 1Gn then why bothering arguing. There is a 500lbs plus difference between a 1.8l 92hp engine powered FWD 1st Gen to a fully loaded GSX 1st gen with ABS, glass roof ,leather one.

 

[Rex2342]

According the the VFAQ the curb weight of a 1g AWD Talon/Eclipse is 3108lbs and a 2g AWD is 3157 to 3234 lbs depending of the options.

 

[xveganxcowboyx]

If your 1G is FWD 2,800 lbs is believeable.

That's as far as I or probably anyone else is going to stretch the rope for you though. People who pick fights and talk smack aren't generally liked on line and you're not going to get your point across with everyone mad at you.

To see all the base weights go to this page and scroll down.

 

[JayRolla]

My car weighed in at 3080 without me in it. After I was done stripping it weighed at 2880. This is without taking anything out that you can see. Nothing is missing, you would never even know its lighter.

yea like my friends awd, his is 2800 like I was saying,(non sunroof)
and thats just from removing the reat seats, sound deadner, everything a/c and heating related, all emissions stuff,
and a few other things im sure.

 

[JayRolla]

Yep, I have no sunroof. I removed powersteering, ac, front bumper support, sound deadening, heatshields, cruise control, front pop up motors and some other stuff. I kept all seats and body panels.

 

[JayRolla]

I got a little choked, I wasn't the one picking the fight.. I'm not just gonna make up some number to have a good time about it.. my 1g was a rare 1g, it was AWD Talon with viscous coupling.. no power options from factory, no abs, no cruise, no sunroof, NOTHING.. and it was just over 2800 curb weight from the factory.. now have you ever seen a 'factory stripped' 1g weigh in? any of you have one? have you looked at the door sticker and wrote down the curb weight? Not likely.. anyone here who is disagreeing with me is doing so out of what they think, not what they know.. nightspeed has confirmed it's easy to get a 1g to 2800. .mine was just like that from the factory.. it still had shields and sound deadning obviously.. but no power.. and it wasn't 2800 exactly, it was 28XX, lower 2800's though.. you can see both of my cars in this thread... http://www.dsmtuners.com/forums/showthread.php?t=246053 1g is now sold though..

another thing I just thought of.. getting weighed at the factory I bet the car had no fluids in it at all... oil, coolant, trans, xfer, rear end, and whatever gas you have when you weigh your car.. big dif.. I dont' see why some of you think this is so hard to believe.

My car weighed 3080 at the truck stop I worked at and its accurate. My car is a 91 AWD with the vicous coupler also. Has no sunroof, no cruize control, no abs, no nothing like yours did. It does have power windows though. I dont consider it really rare.

 

[VanIsleDSM]

yes, yours also had all the fluid in it and 1GA DSMs are heavier than 1GB.. and you had more options than mine.. I do conconsider it rare, because on the DSM forums I've been on for 4years I've never seen a car like mine.. with NO options except the turbo AWD with viscous coupling ... please, show me another one, I'd like to see it.. haven't yet, and I've asked around in the past.. I'm sure more exist.. but not very many..

edit: out of curiosity, what does the sticker say for curb weight in your car? I'd like to know what it is compared to the truck stop weight..

 

[JayRolla]

Yea that is pretty rare. Ive never seen a 1g TSI without power locks and windows. Im pretty sure they never made a 1ga talon like that. Its not a stealth sticker and it only shows gross, not curb. Yea when I first bought a DSM I thought the 2gs where just crap because I would eat them up. But they are heavy.
