I've been trying to trim the weight of my car. Does anyone know of a spot where I can have it weighed in Lake County?

 

I found a truck stop at 173 & 94 that will do it for $9.

 

Math:

Well, how much did your car weigh?

Also, this saturday at FVM/Lambo Chicago there are holding a GRIOT's GARAGE TECH SESSION from 11:AM to 2:PM this Saturday March 21st. Ogden Ave, Westmont

Perhaps I shoul starta a thread.

99C2

 

I didn't go yet. We had company this wk end that cramped my 996 plans.

 

This might be late, but there's a scale on Armitage/Courtland between Ashland and Clyborn at the metal casting place. You can just drive on it. No corner weights, but it'll give you the cars weight for free +/- 20lbs. Note that the scale isn't 0'ed when you get on it, so account for that.

 

I did it at the truck stop this past weekend. Other than dodging the semi's it was a simple process and they give you a print out of the results.
It was a little fatter than I hoped....
F: 1180
R: 1960
Total - 3140 lbs
I had about 3/4 tank of gas. I estimate that to weigh about 80 lbs. If I dump the spare tire and tool kit, I guess it would be right at 3000 lbs.
