2425 lbs thats wat my title says....., So my car isn't so heavy after all Options

[soulshadow]

So I got a renewal notice yesterday and It said on the tag that my car weighed 2425 lbs. That was quite weird cause I thought the celi's always weighed more than 2800 Lbs. Anyways, its all good.

5 quarts of oil
tranny fluid
grease
windsheild washer fluid
belts (is dry wieght with belts?)


side note:
also this is on stock wheel weight also probably 30 lbs each on st 14" 35 lbs on 15" gt

At first, I thought you were a bit off, but not after further thought. It's only about 4 quarts, at least on a 5sfe. There is right at 3 quarts of transmission fluid. The viscosity of oil and transmission fluid is about the same. You could round that to 2 gallons, so 11.7lbs if you use the same weight at fuel. I don't think petrol and oil weighs the same, but it's close. Also, the 3 quarts is more a manual 5s transmission. It probably is 5 quarts for a auto. But the auto weighs more due to mechanics too, so that all the more weight. Add another gallon for miscellaneous fluid; you've got another 5.85 pounds. Total is 105.3lbs of liquid in the car. I think the stock wheel is only 16-17lbs. But the tire would put it up to 30lbs. I think the wheel and tire would be considered in the dry weight of the vehicle. I think belts would be considered too, and if not, they only weigh a couple pounds all together max.

Gross vehicle Mass for the Celica here is 1600kg.
Quoted from the brochure

That has to be for the gt-4, and even then, that's high. That's about 3520lbs. That's working on big sedan wieght. I didn't think the Celica was real small, but it's not big. I would guess something like 2800-2900lbs for mine. But I'm just pulling that number out of the air.
