Who has weighed their Protege?
I took mine to a truck station and weighed it last weekend. Its a 94 DX 4-door base model, only power steering, jack removed but spare tire in place, 1/4 tank of gas, stock everything. I read that it weighed about 2388lbs on (I think) carpoint... actual total weight = 2271lbs, front end=1411lbs, back end=838lbs
Damn I should take the engine out of my Probe and swap it over and go for 12's on a slick
That's already 500lbs difference and I haven't actually done any weight reduction on the Pro meanwhile I have the spare, trunk panels and A/C out of the PGT

weight
I got my 91 LX weighed last summer and I got it down to 2400 or 2410 or something like that. I had all of my trunk ripped out. No spare tire, jack, tire iron, other tools needed for changing spare, no back seat, no back seat belts, no head rests, everything else that didn't need to be in there out of there, and I also took all the noise deading tar out of the trunk area. The tar stuff, when I weighed it, it was about 10 lbs. I had less then 1/4 tank of gas and nobody in it. I also had a fairly light cat-back exhaust system too. It's amazing how much faster lighter your car can make you. It doesn't seem like it would help, but it does.
