Weighed my MINI the other day.

After lunch I had a few minutes to kill so I drove to the recycle plant and had the MCS weighed. It up at 2850lbs but once I got out of the car it came up 2650lbs. That is with a 1/4 tank of gas, no rear seats and wheels that are 30lbs total lighter than stock. I was happy with the results.

Considering a stock MCS with manual trans is 2,678 your doing pretty well to shave weight.

Hmmm... I guess it should weigh less but I did add a lot of Dynamat (that stuff is heavy)
