Tigawoods' 1995 Celica, Racing n Stuff Options

[lagos]

im not sure yet. last time i weighed it which was about a year ago it was 2560lbs
i am hoping for 2499lbs but i highly doubt it. I think it will probably be 2520 or 30.
the back seats passenger seat spare tire is all that was taken out.
my suspension is a great deal lighter than stock. but my strut bar and sway bars weigh more than stock so that adds on a few.
i just need to weigh it lol

We should both go put our cars on a scale and compare!

ya i know it sounds funnny! just thought you guys are going there cause i saw this one show on rob and big. this security guy weight like 460 pounds. I saw some youtube of an integra type r, and the car was weighed by 4 individual scales that site under each tire. the weight distribution was 63/47. 63% in front and 47% in rear. where could you find a scale like that??

[Tigawoods]

certain shops have that so you can corner balance the car.
expensive stuff. i only see it being nessecary if you really want to get a specific weight set up for racing.

i've corner balanced mine. luckily enough i was within 1% except front to rear. it's well worth it and even more important if you are using a coilover setup.

[Tigawoods]

just registered for my 2 day event this weekend.
i have these guys im racing against

07 Scion tC Black

93 Honda Civic Si Black

91 Nissan Se-R Black

96 Dodge Neon Black

lots of black ppl

i am already assuming that the Civic will be fast as hell. the other 3 i can deal with

i will be cheating a little bit seeing as i have a few illegal mods in this class.
3pt rear and front and floor bar which doenst do crap

[BonzaiCelica]

really floor bar doest do anything?? well good luck with the race. you going to get some videos up right??

so pretty much once you remove a/c its not something where can just put it back in, in a matter of a few hours. whats the a/c in our cars weigh anyways...

[BonzaiCelica]

corner balancing the cars weight. please elaborate on this...

basically it is adjusting the weight on all four corners of the car. this is done by changing the spring height on the four corners

good info

So i have tanabe df210 lowering springs, kyb gr2 in the rear, and blisten touring inserts in the front. I also have ST Sway Bars. whenever i go up a driveway on the streets or make a u-turn really sharp and fast my back rear tire lifts up alot. I was told this was normal due to stiff sway bar. If i were to get coilovers, would i be able to prevent my rear tire from lifting off the ground.

thanks for that link.
