This is Polly, the m30b35 swapped Ratrod.

Had a blast taking her around a real track for the season-opening for Watkins Glen International, they just spent millions laying all new pavement!

I thought this was funny.



Great build, I now want a luxor coupe to play with as a result of this thread. Beige has grown on me. Great work fear.

At the time I ran COTM and I don't have an ego to stroke haha, the new guy running it wanted to select me...I even refused it. I don't think my car is anything special. Not an e30 M3 etc thanks for the kind words and glad it inspires you.

My build will never be a COTM, just a well built track rat.

Fuel weighs 6.3lb per gallon, so with tank capacity you should be able to guess within ±10lbs or so.

Post# 135 is the last time I weighed the car, since then I have removed more metal and removed the heavy seats in favor of Recaros, I am also interested in the weight. In the photo on the scale I have the roof rack on, I weighed that later and it was around 30lbs, so as it sits I know I am under the 2,400 mark.

Not bad! Mine is a little heavier than yours, but I have a full interior, 12" lukebox and weighed mine with a full tank. My car has the manual windows, manual locks, no check panel, so Im sure all those minor things add up. When you are searching for those last few lbs you will have to get creative. The sunroof delete definitely helped, I keep wanting to do that, but I doubt I will until its a track car. For now its my daily and I like letting the CA sun in

You should weigh it when you have a full tank, but Im sure you are still under 2400lbs. You mention your goal is 2100lbs, thats going to be pretty tough to take out another 300lbs, but who knows... I wanted mine to be under 1 ton (2200), but again Im not concerned about that while its a daily.

I just wasted the last hour looking for it and only found one post on your very first post and it was when the car was just a shell

Is it that hard to just answer the question?

how are you liking the new tires?

So much better than the Dunlop Z101

I ended up taking the work van since I have to get dirty and help my father pull some parts...I did not want to get my Recaros dirty. Don't worry! I have posted my car's weight before(few pages back).

I will do it for you tomorrow.

Man what a great thread. Great work and solid build.

Awesome work and love the choice of the old school M30.

Im curious of this as well

Welcome to the wonderful world of Koni. Were they leaking around the adjuster or the shaft?

Those are iX adjustable ones in shortened housings correct? I keep thinking I want to shorten my housings and go iX konis but now I'm not so sure...

These are the short Koni ground control spec inserts that have adjustable dampening.
