Ok, can someone on this forum give me a definitive answer? Everywhere I've looked, (I've just about reached the end of the interwebz) hasn't found me a definate stock weight of a 5th or 6th gen hatch. ( I've got a 5th gen hatch) everywhere I've looked ranges anywhere from 2500 on the nose to 2750. 2500 seems to light, 2750 seems a bit much. My buddy has a MK5 GTI, (3100 lbs.) He SWEARS it will absolutely dominate a FWD swapped celica, 5th, or 6th gen. The specs say anywhere from 6.3 to 6.9 0-60, and 14.5 - 14.9 1/4 mile. If anyone who has swapped can give me accurate times, it would be SO appreciated. From what I've seen and read, a healthy 3SGTE swap will run high 13's. How's the roll-on performance? What have some of you that have swapped beaten? Its really killing me, someone help.

run it on google maps or your garmin GPS i know does it.

look for "truck weight stations"

They charge like 15-25 bucks depending on where you live. some will ask for a company name, just tell em what you're up to, and typicaly they'll just list it under your name or make some sh!t up, or just charge you under the table or something. I've never heard of any of them charging more than 25 bucks (and that was under the table)

Oh and if they do it under the table they'll just show you. Cause my local one did it for me told me that it charges unless they cancel. Seeing as the weight should be like 10+ tons, a few thousand pounds can easily be construed as a bad reading / inaccurate to save their own asses.

As long as those guys ain't on teh chopping block they wont give a sh!t.
