Nice job on the diagram Kostamojen! All the subie guys must be busy.

That is a cool diagram.
From the pic of a complete ej25 on a pallet with a weight figure, I would guess around <260lbs for a FA20. Just a tad heavier than any all aluminum inline 2.0L 4 banger but a smidge lighter than an EJ25.

Even if the the FT86 has the same 53/47, the weight is more centralized, so the polar moment of inertia will be much less.
My bad.

I had a response to your earlier post but I lost it. Be careful comparing weight figures for different countries, curb weight is measured differently. For example the US curb weights are with all fluids and a full tank, Germany use 90% of a full tank, a passenger, and a certain amount of luggage. I am guessing from a brief mention that JDM curb weights are at a half tank with all fluids. But
.
FYI, I am pretty sure the Miata and RX-8 are closer to 52:48 and 53:47 respectively. The 50:50 is just advertising suggestion not fact.
And Toyota/Subaru advertised
one of the lowest CoG in a production car. 18.1" is among the lowest for wet sump right?
