That's lighter than I thought. The official weight is 1830, I believe. At least that's what I've been going by.

The GVW is 2590 lbs - which means I have 810 lbs to work with for the weight of me, an occasional passenger, and the battery pack.

Don't forget you'll be taking out probably 300 lbs worth of stuff. Engine + accessories, cooling system, fuel system.

I let the car idle a bit to listen to it and take a look at the engine. Sounds kinda rough to me - is that just the fact that it is a 3-cylinder, or that it hasn't been driven in months!?!?

It's probably just the way it is. If it's idling a little low, these engines are particularly jumpy.
