trunk tar...

[Digitalwave]

It may be close to 50/50 but it still has a front bias. I want to say 52/48 or so.

All the more reason to remove front end weight, not rear end, IMO.

I'm considering relocating the battery from the engine bay to the trunk in the cab.

it could be worse.. think Audi or VW (60/40?).

I agree with you. The weight balance I am talking about is for coupes though, cabrios are probably a lot different especially when the top is down in the trunk.

My point is, people that just remove their trunk tar because its FUH RAZE and drops 2 seconds in the quarter mile are just throwing the balance of the car off further.

damn 2 seconds? shit that's like adding 100shot of nawwwwwss

Scotty,, I've been thinking the same thing. I always loved the rear battery in my others.

Aside from the tires wanting to light up a bit more in 1st gear, most everyone will not feel the added weight of the trunk-tar in 6cyl E30's, IMO.

My '87 don't have it.

I may gank the wiring from the euro and relocate it while my interior is out - why not, right?

Do it, put the weight of the battery where it should be, you could do it w/o much trouble.

I figured - run the wires, doesn't cost anything either.

Overall lightness is more important than the coveted 50/50 weight distribution. Do whatever you can to get your car light. Obviously there is a limit to where this isnt true anymore, but 50 lbs is not earth shattering.

Nor would you notice that 50lbs difference while driving.
