I was driving past the local garbage dump when I remembered that I always wanted to weigh my car. Pulled up on the scales, they asked what I could possibly need to drop off in such a small car so I said I just wanted to weight my car lol. Not sure how much they liked that but I got my car's weight finally.

After factoring out my weight I got 2250 lbs in an NB1, with no a/c, but a rollbar, and removed spare tire and all extra stuff in the trunk. I had a 1/4 tank of gas at the time.

How much does your Miata weigh? If you don't know, go out an weigh it! I plan to do the same with my NA whenever I actually get it on the road again.

About 2400 with me, 1/2 tank, AC, PS, rollbar, doorbars, etc.

I weigh 215#, so 2200.

I have a pic from the corner weight scales I need to find. I added the AC system recently, which was about 35# plus an amp and wires, so add another 15#.

Too much…

I need to find some junk to take to the dump and weigh mine.

I'm wondering what I could get my weight down to if I started stripping some stuff out. Really thinking about trying to shave a few pounds.

I got 1050kg (2315lbs) with my NB2.5 with PS, AC, 1/4 tank and everything like the spare wheel. 51% front and 49% rear.

The BRG 91 was semi-stripped, I took most of the options off (AC/PS/cruise + soft top) and added a double diagonal hard dog rollbar. It came in around 2,100 (but I can't remember if that was full or half tank or which rims-prob K1s).

The 90 I had just picked up and stripped (no top), with PS but no AC, oem daisies and again a hard dog bar, but single diagonal this time = 2,170 full tank.

Neither had a spare in it, both had STANCE AL+ coilovers.
