Really really want to see more pictures of this thing.

What do you weigh?
2189-18(fuel)-you=?

Building a Lemons car and trying to be sub 2k dry.

I weigh 155.

You will likely need a 318 to get sub 2k, I can't see it with an M20.

Car has 260-270hp and weights 2189 with me in it with 10L of fuel.

Everything has been modified to be light, 1/2 dash, all lexan windows, gutted doors, trunk removed (just has a removable hatch to access diff), hood and deck lid are composite, wing is carbon, etc.
Its 100 pounds or so heavier now as well, compared to when we got it, as we have a huge skid plate up front, some of the new body is not quite as lightened, etc.

Glad to see it fixed!

If you're willing to share... what are some things you did to make it so light?

[djjerme]

Nice! What's your power to weight ratio now?

[FredK]

It lives! That must have taken quite a bit of work to mend, and I'm glad you were able to rescue it.

Looking forward to the track videos!

After a couple crazy weeks, we setup the car Friday and I ran it for a quick test at the track day night. Worked ok, now it's leaving for Montreal tomorrow with our gt1 car to race this weekend. Pretty happy it's fixed and running.

[pmachan]

No kidding! Can't wait to see what V2.0 looks like.

Hopefully exactly the same!
No performance improvements right now, plan is to just get it running reliably and have fun at the last race of 2016 for us.

Eager to see it back in business

[pmachan]

Its been a year since this car was crashed, and I am getting it back this week from frame repair. Then a mad thrash to get it ready for a race at the end of sept at Mont Tremblant.
I'll update with some pics once I get it back and get going on the mechanical stuff.

[pmachan]

Its an M42 with a diesel crank.

[Joebiggs]

m42 or m44.Good question. i always wondered if they share the same crank sensor even though they mount in different locations.

[E30 Wagen]

Was the engine built using a m42 block or m44?
