i've always thought your car would be much lighter than that.
and h22a accord is that light for a 5th gen?
maybe.. mines lighter than cam H22a accord.
depends on wat crap u got on the inside..
stereo wheels.. etc..
Fully loaded with no interior out it's 1490kg.
track day spec: 1400kg LOL
haha - big weight saving there

kenny, your h22a accord is an exi and mine is a vti so i have a sunroof, not sure how much that adds in weight, plus ive got stuff like cruise control...it all adds up.
Id be interested to see what my car would weigh if i stripped the boot of its trim, spare wheel, sub, amp, swapped to stock wheels, remove back seat and passenger seat and run it near empty........
id then go to the drags lol.
cam.. i'll ripped everything i can out.. except a crate and tacho ahahah see how much it weighs :D
Weights quoted by manufacturers are meant to include a full petrol tank:
1 litre = 1 kilogram
The tare weight isn't the kerb weight -- the tare weight is without any fluids, etc.
Kerb weight is what's normally quoted, which should be a "standard" car with all fluids and no extra options.
The gross vehicle mass is the total that the car can weigh -- fully loaded with people and gear, including a trailer.
Holden got in a bit of trouble because it started declaring tare weights instead of kerb weights to make it look like the cars weren't as heavy as they really are:

i always thought fuel has a specific gravity lighter than 1kg per litre, can anyone confirm or deny this?
