Default Corner Weight Results (93 SC300) *Need someone to host pic in order to post results

Alright folks. I had my car corner weighed by Darin w/ West End Alignment some time ago. I just neglected to put the results up. BTW, those of you in SoCal may recognize the name and shop. Those of you that don't, rest assured he is one of the top in the industry (and some consider him to be the best). His name is mentioned numerous times in the SoCal sub-forum regarding suspension and alignments.

Anyways, the only catch is this. I have the results scanned on my computer. I just need someone to downsize the file size, convert it from a TIFF format to a JPEG, and host the file. Current file size is 2.68MB.

Maybe you guys will archive this info, for those of you who care about weight reduction, suspension/handling, etc.

Send me a PM w/ your email, and I'll email the pic to you.

Basic data of my car:

1993 SC300 w/ manual transmission. 18x9 inch GS wheels (the ones from Japan), as I do not know the weight difference between stock wheels versus these rims. Spare tire still in vehicle. 3/4 tank of gas (I think). Mentioning all this stuff for the sake of documentation. Car was mostly stock. Any mods that were on the vehicle, the difference in weight is negligible.

*Someone send me a PM, for the benefit of all on the forum.

Did you try uploading the image onto the CL gallery? Is it still problematic?

The CL gallery doesn't support TIFF files. Guess I'm going to have to find a program to convert the file.

Alright,...I think I got it to work.



First set of numbers, are the weights at each individual corner.
Second, is the weight at the upper left quandrant versus the right.
Third, is the percentage weight from front to rear, and left to right.
Last is the total weight. (If you want to be extremely critical, I weighed 170 at the time, so you can subtract that weight from the total).

Stock suspension. As I said, any mods that were on the car at the time...the difference in weight is negligible. (If I recall correctly, the only mods on the car at the time, was a K&N filter, stainless brake lines, slotted rotors).

Darin is a buddy of mine, and I asked him to call me if he had the scales out so I can weigh my car quickly. He called, so I went and drove on the scales and off. Quick enough to get the basic data I wanted.

As I said, gas tank was 3/4 full (I think). Sure it wasn't at a full tank, nor 1/2 tank...for a more reliable set of numbers. It was the best that I got at the time...and 3/4 of a tank is what I can recall...

dang, my car feels like a lil piggy then. when i had my car corner balanced, the total weight came out to be 3890 with my weight (130) in it. then again, it's with the mods i have now and even though i have lighter rims, i think the heavier tires negate it (30lbs each) 95 SC4 with 3/4 tank.
