I don't feel like looking t up haha
The number I use on my car's garage page is 2262, which I have seen in several places. By shedding the weight I have I'm close to 2000 pounds. If you check my car's page you'll find a ton of info and a link to a list of weight reductions I did. My garage page link is below in my sig.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
