E30 325 , how do I lose weight

[B&C]

More than an S38?

If it is my mind would be blown.

Ditch the twin-tube exhaust for a 2.5-inch single-tube system with high-flow cat and LTW flow-through can. Also replace the cast-iron manifolds with long-tube headers.

Altogether you'll shed 50-70 lbs, easy.

forgot to remove the arm rests, door card clips, sound deadening all around the interior, e-brake handle, shift knob, rear of seat, seat hand lever, even the door latch you can just push and pull on the metal rod.

Yup yup.

This was kind of a rush job a day before our track event. Since then more has been removed; the sound deadening, tons of clips, sun roof motor, arm handles and other tid bits. :D


+1 on single exhaust conversion. Lots of weight to be saved there.

Good call, I forgot about the S38. But it's not much heavier than the euro s50...
