No Guessing please Just weighbridge measured and whether any lightweight parts are fitted. Please add whether it was with driver and spare wheel/tools etc and note things like big sound systems and approx fuel level.

Not an Impreza, but my 92 UK Legacy estate weighed about 1540 kgs, with me on board, and i think 1/4 tank fuel. It was quite a while ago I weighed it. Full trim, probably some junk in the car too.
There are a few mods, but none that would greatly affect the weight.

my00 wagon; 1440kg - full tank of gas and driver.
Weight saving: headers, exhaust, inlet system removed, Porsche GT3 calipers
Weight adding: Porsche GT3 brake disks, Eta Beta 17" wheels, larger front speakers.
How accurate is the average weighbridge though? +/- 10%?

SAVING: No skirts, no spoilers, no rear seats, no air con, no electric windows, no central locking, no electric windows, no stereo, lighter 16in wheels, alloy bonnet, apparently lighter pannels/glass
ADDED: 6 Point bolt in roll cage, godspeed 4 pots, alloy firewall
Car was weighed when imported in the above spec = 1180kg tank of fuel, doubt the driver was in it

Confused as to why AlanG's MY99 UK is 70kg heavier than Denmark's MY99 GT (same model) with a full tank of fuel and no driver. Surely the spare wheel, jack and tools don't weigh 70kg

well, where do i start
weighed mine a month ago at roger clarks using their rally scales (very accurate)...........
car is very modified and full of everything
with 3 quarters of a tank of petrol and me in it, it was 1650 kg (i'm 100 kg by the way)
since then i've had 3 tvs fitted, extra sunvisors made from wood and dvd kit, possibly a little more weight
404 bhp though to make up for it and with all this weight, still finished 3rd at shootout with 12.1 seconds work that out me and clarks didn't expect this so we're all dead happy, i've told them it must of been the driver
i am after an all rounder by the way, not the fastest or i wouldn't have all my toys. Depends what ur after, doesn't it..... oh, still handles great with all the weight

AlanG's might have had the Spare Wheel & Jack & tools in the boot
AlanG's also might have aircon, and the other one might not

Just seen this.
I do have a water tank for the water injection but it was empty at the time of weigh in. I estimate the empty weight of the tank to be less than 5kg, if that.
My *ICE* consists of a TV headunit (same weight as a std headunit) a Sat Nav screen in the top binnacle and the two control boxes for both in the boot. No subs or amps or anything like that. Also in the boot is a PS1.
Not a lot of weight IMO.
Changes from std spec to my car are front mount intercooler and erm.....can't think of anything else which is significant. Turbo's injectors, fuel pumps etc have been changed but can't see how that changes things.
My spare wheel is still in the boot floor...
Alan
Addendum..there's four strut braces on the car as well...and as *Sonic* says, air con.

"Driver to loose 10 kg"
It looks like Harvey's going to be spending the Winter in the gym, either that or has spent so much on his Scooby he can't afford to feed himself anymore
I haven't weighed my Scooby yet, but 2 layers of sound deadening throughout including the roof, the 2 subs in an 18mm mdf sub box that I couldn't lift by myself, 2 large amps mounted in mdf boot builds, full leather, AC, FMIC aren't exactly going to help. But I do only weigh 69 kg

I've found tyres to make a huge difference too.....but still take the ones that offer better grip.
EtaBeta 17"'ers are not on that list...they'd be the heaviest

I will try and get mine weighed before the next Elvington, plenty of weighbridges near me.
I thought the earlier wrx's and uk cars had alloy bonnets where as the 98 onwards had steel bonnets. I know mine is a damn sight heavier to lift than david wallis' original bonnet.
