I believe thats the JDM RS; the USDM RS is only 80 lbs. lighter than the USDM MR which comes in somewhere between 3,200 and 3,300 (will look for exact specs). The GSR SSL is the heaviest Evo made.

With me in the car it was like 3400 lbs. I do have the ssl tho. Kracka you did not make my day today lol. I dint want to hear that I have the heaviest Evo!

**Kracka** · 03-23-2010

Here are some curb weights from Edmunds.com:

IX RS = 3219 lbs.
IX GSR = 3274 lbs
IX MR = 3285 lbs.

The SSL package will add roughly 60 lbs. since it includes a sunroof, sub, amp, leather, and HID's. VIII's typically weigh about 10 lbs. less than their IX counterparts with the excpetion of the RS, the VIII RS is only 1 lb. under the IX RS. The IX GSR SE (aluminum roof skin and BBS wheels save the weight, but HID's add a bit back) will weigh slightly less than the regular IX GSR; the IX MR SE will weigh the same as the regular IX MR.

Ok, thanks for the numbers, guys. I knew ~2,900 was too good to be true.

Actually if people are interested, I recently bought a set of digital corner scales. They are portable and accurate to 1/10 of a lb.

If you bribe me with a beer, I might be willing to be available with them some evening

Definitely cool! Wish I could take advantage of that offer.

**cmspaz** · 03-30-2010

I have a vague update because the message I was left was just as vague. Anything in quotes is as much info as I have.

They got "some parts" today. They also found out that reconditioning of my bumper "didn't work" and said something about a "stand-in". When they tore into it to do the core support, they found "more damage", and so it'll take "longer".

I'll be calling for clarification tomorrow morning because I'm not at all happy with the little info I was given.

**Kracka** · 03-30-2010

That's pathetic. When the WRX was in at the bodyshop I was called twice daily with detailed updates.

Ihearrtdsm · 03-30-2010

wow shitty, chew them out for that poor excuse of details.

**goodhart** · 03-30-2010

Jesus Christ, is it taking them long enough? I would go in there in person and chew someone a new asshole.

TkrPerformance · 03-30-2010

That is a bunch of crap

**cmspaz** · 03-30-2010

They didn't get parts from Mitsu until today, so I can't blame them for that, but Jesus fuck they could have at least told me what's going on.

^ Body shop fail

When i was bringing my car to the body shop. I didnt even bother bringing it in until they had all the parts needed. For fixing my tree damage. and they called me about once a day to give me an update.

**cmspaz** · 03-30-2010

Well, they called me twice, but company policy says I can't be on the phone at work, so he just left that vague message after the second call. I'm probably just going to tell him to call the store if I don't answer my phone next time.

craig · 03-30-2010

That's bull shit, they need to get this done or start compensating for loss of transportation.

**cmspaz** · 03-30-2010

Yeah, especially considering the spool time in the Talon keeps going up, I may end up having to yank a turbo soon and I'm really stuck without a second car. I'll be checking out the Talon tomorrow, but I'm not expecting it to be something simple.

**cmspaz** · 03-30-2010

Never mind on that, the same turbo bolt I had break on me was backing out again. I can't win with that one. Probably time for it to get some threadlocker.

Kevin 1G Drummer · 03-30-2010

Wow, that's bullshit... When I was working at Fairway, we wouldn't schedule the car to come in until we had the parts in the shop. And that crap about finding "more damage" is also bs. They should have been able to find everything when they did the estimate. I would definitely talk to them about compensation for loss of transportation.

**cmspaz** · 03-30-2010

Yeah, I'll probably go off on them and see what happens.

On the flip side, if I'm not getting the car back on Friday, I will definitely be calling my insurance company, telling them I think I saw the girl on her cell phone in the car, and get them to pull her phone records, make life a little bit harder for her if I can. Maybe I'll get lucky and she'll actually have been on it. Yeah, I know I'm sadistic, but I've decided it's this or a Molotov since I have her address, and this is a little more... legal.

**Kracka** · 03-31-2010

Why would it matter if she was on her phone?

**cmspaz** · 03-31-2010

Kids aren't allowed to be on their phones while driving
