My figures arnt exact. I know non 4ws 4th Gens weight roughly 1240-1260kg depending on air con and sunroof like my old BB3.
But a fully loaded BB1 with sunroof and aircon and 4ws will be closer to 1350-1360.

5th Gens are the same but add 30ish kg on all figures.

I weighed my car before really stripping it. Removed spare and jack and it came in at 1135k. It's a BB3 with H22 engine so no aircon or cruise. Then stripped but no cutting added a cage and its 1138k

No your right, it wasn't, I'm sorry 5g's don't have have massive horrible headlights that weigh a lot :oops:

They don't weigh that much
Then I must of course apologise for the unwarranted implication that 4g's have mostly corroded to such an extent that bits have fallen off and made them lighter. :|

EDIT: You wierdo's probably keep all the rusty bits in the boot
