I just wanted to break this up for a moment to thank everyone who helped work go by faster! Cookies will be mailed out to everyone involved...

[DCColegrove]

Please admit to failing

Why?

I did fuck up the op because I was under the impression it was 2055 not 2255 lbs

I actually think I subtracted my weight from the wrong numbers... so it's not my math so much as my organisational skills that suck...

Still.... 2255 is really light.

Well...

I can't Blunt...

Because I spot welded them on this one instead.

I do controls engineering at Delphi, GM, Dow, etc. We do solder some wire and you wouldn't believe the amount of vibration those machines make.

My first electronics teacher designed ciruit boards and elctrical panels for nasa and did extensive work on the blackbird. He said they would have these massive shaker contraptions that they would attach the circuit boards to for days on end. I think the g forces and vibrations are nill on an e30 compared to lets say a rocket going in to orbit.

I truthfully don't know why it would be so important to everybody to prove that this is or isn't bs... I mean, if you did lighten it that much, then congrats! If you didn't then shame on you..i guess. but come on people, 11 pages?! Give the guy a break.

Oh no...

You got that wrong...

This is the r3v meatgrinder...

Now would that really matter in here?

I'd be accused of photo chopping the screw heads off...

Then it would be something else... And Something else...

...

This isn't where the tires meet the pavement...

This is an Internet forum.... Kind of like Junior High...

Soldered. That that was the class i took. You should have seen some of these boards he kept. Trully massive and amazing the stress they could withstand.

I couldn't really give a fuck if the guy is full of shit or not, that is between himself and his psychology degree. The reason I keep checking this is to see if I can glean a tiny bit of info out of this thread that I can apply to my humble ~2400lb car.

Oh, and for the entertainment value too.

Edit: so I guess I do care, but not for girly reasons.

Why isn't there any pics to back up your weight reduction modifications? That would really stop a lot of this shit (at least from me). Take a couple shots of the wiring harnesses throughout the car, the hardware, the subframe, etc...

You can't just throw out shit that's nearly impossible/never done before/ridiculous and expect everyone to just believe you, and not question it at all.

And quit dodging posts with specific questions. That makes it even worse.
