i weighed my 23 in at 1080, that with a 1g big mf turbo and a borg warner diff, so taking into account the 1g is lighter than a 18r though all the extra goodies i have in it it would prob fall in about the same weight perhaps a lil lighter, maybe around 1050 - 1080.

I also weighed my RA23 at 1080kg stock as a rock and then with the 1G-GZE fitted I got 1120kg on the same scales. Toyota quote 1030 or 1040 kg for this car, but that is wrong.
Why don't you spend $11 at your local public weighbridge and get it in writing ?
Maybe handy later when you mod your car.........

Toyotas quoted weights are dry weight before oil and water is added to the engine/gearbox and diff

That weight is the dry weight quoted by Toyota as ben mentioned above and that is wrong as I said - its not real world. Spend $11 at your local public weighbridge and you will get 1060 to 1090kg. And I would expect a '23 with a 13B to weight 50 to 70kg less than a stock version.
