Weight differences


Recommended Posts

Im just wondering whats the weight of an 83 Hatch? Im in Australia and am one of the only lucky owners of one. :D

 

Just wondering how much lighter it is compared to the other old school body styles.. eg: sedan, wagon, brumby. etc..

Thanks guys

That's really a good question.

 

Alot depends on what type of emission equipment is required n Austrelia. My guess is you guys probably don't have the pollution problems we have in the US, and that would translate into a lighter vehicle.

 

Another would depend on options. Things like electric window motors don't seem like a lot, but all those gadgets collectively along with the wiring, probably add a few hundred pounds to the car.

 

I've always wanted to strip a Subie down to the bare essentials to see how light I could get it. And to see what those +/- 90 HP's are really capable of doing...

 

good luck, John
