m30 weight gain

[Red88]

I've done an AZ summer with no AC, granted it wasn't fun, but I didn't mind it too much. I think I only wished for AC one time.

There is more than just putting on a carbon/fiberglass hood to help make up the difference. If the batt. isn't in the trunk. Put it there. I've also removed the factory fuel tank, and put a 15 gal. cell in the trunk. Which is lighter itself than the factory tank. Plus it's moved further back to help a little more with the weight offset. Plus, I have no a/c, no power steering, no oil cooler. Anything that doesn't make the car go/stop is gone except for headlights and wipers.

What you should be doing is moving it all to the back seat. Low polarity of movement is what you should be after :)

M30 e30s rotate just fine already, bro

I've driven cars with no A/C in mexico and they were not fast and I was in the city (stop and go traffic) so when I drive my M30E30 in SC I think "hey, it could be worse"

when you get hot, roll down the windows, hit the gas, and remember why you did the swap! AC is for grandparents cars and school buses not for m30 swapped e30s.

i live in texas and our summers definately suck and my daily driver is my m30 swapped e30 with no a/c but the solution is a windshield reflector that i put up when the car is parked and while driving roll the windows down and put the sunroof at a tilt add a heavy foot and you get an air cooled cabin...well cool enough to keep me happy. i also have black sport seats which can get extremley hot. seriously though even when i drive cars with a/c i keep it off and the windows down unless the women in the car complains about the heat...
