he didn't post pics tho.

He forgot the diagonal. :/

Also, 50lb of that pulls right out of the trunk, there is a metal ballast weight. relocate the battery to where it should be in the trunk and you are golden.

Well done Iwantspeed, very nice install. Did you notice much difference in the body stiffness with the install?

Thats cool, but this isnt the right thread for your coupes weight reduction and mods is it?

[jrdeamicis]

My coupe started with an Eta around 2800.

With shit tons of weight reduction, and then adding an S50, 5 Lug, BBS RN, M3 Brakes, and a 6 Speed.

Im @ 2500 flat.

With an Interior.

That is sweet. I think it needs a latemodel rear valence tho

[NC325iC]

.....DO WANT

Your door sticker isn't curb weight, it's weight with passengers. Not accurate. drive on a road scale.

Awesome! I spent about two hours removing my AC, but you just lightened it another ~300 lbs in one post! Thanks!

Maybe I'll actually weight it eventually, after new engine, cross brace etc are installed, but that's pretty low on the priority list.
It's even lower than doing homework, which is not getting done.......thanks to r3v. :mrgreen:

Fuckin' SWEET.

Depends on the model of E30. Verts are about the same curb weight as the iX: ~3050lbs

Late model M20 cars are ~2850
Etas are ~2700
M10 cars are ~2450, M42 cars are 2600ish whereas M42 verts are 2850

So in general, 200lbs heavier than a comparable coupe/sedan is a good approximation.

This is true. Hard top helps stiffen it up a lot as well.
