I am a little confused. I thought everyone said that the total weight of their MR-2 was only like 2600 lbs. Yet on the doorpanel, it states it is 3200 + lbs....... is this weight with all fluids, luggage, and persons at a standard rate.?

I though it was 2800lbs....hhhmmm?

***MRQtwinturbo*** · 01-16-2007, 10:02 AM

i thought 2800 also...

Well since you have a 93' I thought the weight was 2888, from what I read. But I got this information from wikipedia.org: "The most important features of the AW11 were its light body (as low as 2,200 lb in Japan and 2,350 lb in the US)"

it is 2800...

i've reduced mine to 2550... give or take a lbs...

well thats fine, the 2600 lbs was just what someone had said to me years ago, I just might have forgoyyen... But the question remains, what is the gross weight?? and why is it so much higher... Is it just the fluids... is it the fluids persons, and luggage?

tHa kNiGHt FaLL · 01-17-2007, 05:37 PM

curb weight is 3200... and that with a full load... passengers... spare tires.... topped off fluids and a full trunk... full glove box...

basically its max load... it gross...

***MR2Jedi*** · 01-17-2007, 06:33 PM

2800 lbs. is unladen..and max pass/cargo I think is 400lbs. ergo Drews 3200lb curb wt.

What did you remove to get the wieght done 250lbs. may I ask?

tHa kNiGHt FaLL · 01-18-2007, 02:22 AM

lets see...

spare tire... lightweight wheels... removed wing... front bumper is now fiberglass... front bumper (metal bumper)... in the dash there are three big metal impact plates... i removed... steering wheel w/ airbag... stripped out the entire trunk... removed cruise control (cables, controller and computer)

hmm..... theres more... i can't think right now... but if i go out to my garage i have everything in a pyle i can name it but i weighed every piece w/ a house hold bath scale and added it up... weighed the difference in parts i put on... then subtracted that from curb... i was pretty accurate...

but i did remove alot of saftey from impact

so i hope i don't crash

and curb weight for an american spec N/A w/ T-Tops is only 2695

so 2550 is only like 140lbs...

the 2800lbs is turbo model

Zz_005_zZ · 01-18-2007, 04:53 AM

Great, Now that makes sense... I was just curious as the weight difference. Thanks for the info.

JekylandHyde · 01-18-2007, 09:03 PM

The MKIIs were 2700-2950 lbs depending on trim and options.

Oh, I was thinking you had a Turbo

You may have already done this, but just an FYI ...

I have weighed in on tractor trailer scales at weigh stations. That will give you the actual weight as is- full tank of gas, just you, etc.
