Just to note, mine with full interior, full tank of gas and me in it was 2984 lbs, so you've got some savings for sure. My CD009 likely accounts for 150 of the delta.

Shoot! That’s nearly 300lbs, pretty happy about that :)

Totally it does! I had it corner balanced and on the fancy scales it suggested that it's 2690 with me and 3/4 tank of fuel, tomorrow it gets tuned on flex fuel and the new 1100cc injectors, it should make some more jam. Thank you!

this car must rip. there's a few 1j swapped e36 (single turbo) that show up at local events and they RIP HARD. awesome setup man!

That sentence alone makes it all worth it

Thank you it was a lot of hard work and really proud to have just persevered and came out the other end with a working thing.

Is it as fun as you hoped?

Well, now it’s “officially” a track car, there is a whole bunch of work between my last update so the tl;dr is: Full cage Redone adjustable steering column BC racing DS coilovers Professional race alignment and corner balance New tires (Yokohama Advan A052) FIC 1100cc injectors Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

More fuel ASAP they rip so hard, a bud had one with 330rwkw (550hp?) and it was unsafely fast but so much damn fun

300 wheel in this car is so fast already! But I will be buying larger injectors and hooking up my flex fuel sensor to see what the stock turbo can dish out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's a doggone ripper! maxed out stock fuel injectors at 300 wheel, it's super fun! Waiting on a replacement LSD to get back up and driving, took some time to replace axles and rear wheel bearings "while I'm here".

I bet it works fine. aluminum seems like a better performance choice for driveshaft, id guess something like half the weight of a steel version maybe 50-75% the weight of a steel one?

oh it's certainly lighter than the steel version, I was able to hold it up and bolt it into place by myself (only just) and it's rated for 700 HP so that should be good for a while hopefully!
