We are switching to the metric system here too. Or at least they began telling us that back when I was in about third grade. Sure has been a long transition period. The only thing I can think of that changed is the soft drinks and their 2 liter bottles and water bottles with their 1/2 liter. I combat that by buying the 20oz bottles of water.

SO, has the weighing taken place yet?

Let me get the transmission in it first. Got a few other things I wanna get done on it before opening day on the 19th. Weigh in will be late this week. :)

I was 16 when metric was introduced...a nd I ain't learning it. :) The new car gas mileage estimates kill me. 7L per 100km's city...and 4L per 100 km's highway. What in the blue hell does that mean!

I used to run so we did a 10k race most weekends. This is equivalent to 6.2 miles. So how far is a km? I'm not real sure but I do know it is less than a mile.
I also know 3.8 L is a gallon. This is printed on many urnals and I have seen it while seeing a man about a horse. Beer comes in 12oz. Some in pints and then there are quarts. Lately there was tha 24oz can but Anheuser Busch saw fit to add an extra oz lately.
Other than that I'm unsure of the metric system.

No hurry on the weigh in , I was just wondering.

Must be nice...cuz I had to take a crapload of weight out of this car to get it down to this. Dan Kellers GN weighed in at 3950 with him in it. These cars are all over the place for weight.

Found this: http://www.turbobuicks.com/forums/275393-post3.html

I don't even recall what setup was on the car a decade ago.  I do know that the car has dropped some weight since: the sub, 3-pc wheels, hollow rear swaybar, tubular rear lower control arms, etc... but, then again I added the TH400.

And I am tipping the scales at a ripped 164lbs.  Leaner is meaner.
