stumbled across a weigh bridge at a quarry ( i had to go there to pick up a vehicle)

So i put my car on it. with me ( 100kg) , a 1/4 tank of fuel, 17's, stereo gear etc it weighed in at 1440kg.

My car is 1490kg without me.

steve, you sure the scales werent broken? haha

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..

hey Baboo, where can u weigh ur passenger car in BNE? I would like to find out how heavy my IS is?

I think 90 KG is a significant difference after u strip the interiors.
I can feel a big difference when I carry my 90KG friend!

the specs in the book for a 5th gen accord are around the 1290kg mark.... but you cant go by anything other than a weigh bridge.

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.
