Anyone weighbridged their KE1x Corolla?

Just interested to know how much they really weigh, either stock or with different engines.

I've been told low 700's, interesting to know how accurate this is.

yes it is accurate.
dry weight of KE10 is maybe 700-710, and 720-730 wet. rego weight is 720. rego weight of KE15/17 is 740, but i think wet they are closer to 730

KE20 add 50kg.. KE30 add more again

I recently took my ke20 to a weighbridge.

820kg with full tank of fuel.

stock? with you in it?

they are 750ish on paper.. i thought....

my bog stock ke30 with no fuel in it came in at 910kg i think

my ke20 was 760kg standard on paper, i added a 4age, t50 box, ke55 brakes & rear end, added recaros, a couple of gauges, bigger radiator, exhaust and a couple of other things to get to:

....850kg!

oh yeah, the SAAB chasers might have helped it beef up.

hmm, maybe KE20 is understated then?
i weighbridged my KE15 for rego and it was either 730 or 740.. with half tank of fuel, tools and tyres and crap

as for lightening them... there is not much to take out

no really heavy parts to remove... onyl weight to add

I think my owner's manual said @860KG for my KE35. I plan on getting it weighbridged at the end of Stage 1 - The Resto, which will only have different front seats (MR2 I've been told will bolt in), stereo (headdeck, 6x9s instead of 4x7s(?), 2 amps and 2 10" Type S alpine subs)and a few extras like electronic boot release, alarm and central locking. Everything else will be simply restored or replaced with new equivalents so it won't be more then maybe 30KGs extra.

i figure i could save 40kg by replacing my SAAB rims with some proper 13" lightweight alloys, the 4age + t50 + exhaust has got to be 50kg more than the 3k + k40 + pea shooter so i reckon 760kg for a stock ke20 is probably spot on.
