Subaru's official 'dry' weight i.e. no fluids, is bang on 1200kg. With all fluids i.e. the 'wet', or 'kerb', weight, then it's fair to assume circa 1220kg.
(For the record. the MY93 lightweight WRX Type RA is the lightest of all Impreza's at only 1170kg 'dry'
)

...EDIT: From Wikipedia - see red text (I correctly guessed the kerb weight! lol)...
GC chassis (1992-2000) There were 6 noted versions of the WRX. The STI versions were marketed with consecutive numbers. Another way to tell the version of a WRX was to look at the chassis code. All WRX sold between 1992 and 2000 have the beginning chassis code of GC8 then followed by a letter from A to G.
[edit] Japan-spec
First generation
Production 1992-2000 Body style(s) 2-door coupe
4-door sedan
5-door wagon Layout AWD Engine(s) 1.8L H4
2.0L H4 Wheelbase 2240 mm (99.2 in) Length 4375 mm (172.2 in) Width 1705 mm (67.1 in) Height 1410 mm (55.5 in) Related Subaru Impreza
Subaru Forester
[edit] GC8A (11/1992-9/1993)
The WRX debuted in November 1992 with 240 PS (177 kW) at 6000 rpm with 31 kg·m (304 N·m) at 5000 rpm. Both front and rear brake rotors were ventilated disks. The vehicle had a curb weight of 1220 kg (2690 lb). The center differential was a viscous coupling type. The rear LSD was a viscous type. The WRX Type RA (marketing has made usage of the RA acronym in various ways; Record Attempt[1] is the current usage. "R = Racing, A = Group A, the FIA racing class the WRC Impreza competes in" has also been confirmed by Subaru of Japan; the correspondence can be seen on the discussion board for this article) is a stripped down version of the WRX for people to purchase for motorsports. It does not have many "creature comforts" such as air-conditioning or a radio. The car also lacks anti-lock brakes. The WRX Type RA has the same mechanical specifications as the WRX except it had a weight reduction to 1170 kg (2579 lb). The WRX Type RA steering wheel is a 3 spoke leather-wrapped wheel from Nardi.

- 17" wheels and tyres?
- Heavier exhaust?
- Crap in footwells/glovebox/door bins e.g. clothes, steering wheel/gear/handbrake locks, maps, phone charger, etc.?
- 'Ballast' in the boot e.g. ICE, blankets, tow rope, jump leads, petrol can, dead prostitute, etc.?
...It doesn't take much to add an extra 20kg!
