Kamotors E30-Turbo to ITB M20

[AusScare]

How are the stock brakes holding up?

edit: I see you are running the UUC BBK..

[kamotors]

I heard some noises yesterday night, praying my flywheels not working loose, they were quiet but im paranoid after all the work ive done

[Zreberlcoe]

This thing scares me..

[kamotors]

Flywheel still attached, I have some trans rattle below 800rpm but I believe its somewhat normal for lighter flywheels.

[tinkerputzer]

Could be getrag rattle if the noise noise goes away when the clutch is disengaged.

[ForcedFirebird]

That's normal. Couldn't tell you how many times people want to bump up the idle in their tunes to get rid of the rattle. The FW's that don't are dual mass.

[kamotors]

Hood got a bit toasty.

[Bimmer_man]

Damn man time to put some heat shield on the hood lol.

[kamotors]

ok so current plans as long as nothing breaks-


1. weight reduction- new trunk and possibly hood--

Alpina rear wing may be for sale.

2. finish tuning- get a good solid 450whp

3.new wheels and tires, going lower profile but sticker compound
(my tires will be for sale 85% tread)

4. finish interior, other seat, momo wheel, turner aluminum pedals

I'm curious to see what you come up with for a lighter trunk lid. There may be some good products available but the ones I've seen either have a crappy fit, lack any semblance of security, or require some type of pins or something similar. I understand trying to remove front end weight with allyou have going on up front but why reduce back end weight?

[kamotors]

For trunk current plans are to just remove a lot of the inner skeleton. Main weight loss back there will be from removing the wing, factory and quality wings like alpina are pretty heavy; they are 100% solid rubber/foam stuff. Whatever I shave off the rear I plan on removing up front as well

Dont you want a little weight in the back so you dont just spin tires.

Were talking like 10lbs here, nothing drastic
