My 240 weights 2,800-3,000lbs. I'm really not sure. My sticker says 2,800lbs, but I know it's a little bit more then that.

I have a stock S14 with an SR swap and 17x9s, spare tire, me (160 lbs), half tank of gas, etc.

At Englishtown Raceway, I weighed in around 2900...so without me, and without the spare, and with and SR rather than KA, it's like 2700...

Yeah, I had four people in my car once.. not pretty. My friends were stuck in my backseat. It was the most hilarious thing to watch them try and get out.

Yes....SR is lighter than KA....also, my SR is mounted pretty far back, I have like 8 inches of clearance between the radiator and the pulleys...

To start, 240s are roughly 53/47....the swap pushes the weight distribution really close to 50/50

The sticker in the door says GVWR, meaning gross vehicle weight rating.

GVWR:
The maximum rated capacity of a vehicle, including the weight of the base vehicle, all added equipment, driver and passengers, and all cargo loaded into or on the vehicle. Actual weight may be less than or greater than GVWR.

Happens to me a lot. Ever have 3 fat ppl, 1 almost fat person, and a skinny person PLUS an ice chest full of tasty beverages in an s13 fastback? I did due to an unfortunate event taking his car out.


God I hate old toyota motors and their soft cranks. They throw rods. Bad.
