When my M3 was originally purchased it was a JS car. I'm rebuilding it to focus more on NASA GTS racing so I'm redoing most of the car with exception to engine work. I'm starting the major teardown today, probably right after this post, in an effort to get it ready for the new cage as soon as possible. Cage to be done by Mark McMahan of course.
Currently I've removed a bunch of easy weight (and some no so easy) to get the car down to just under 2400lbs w/out driver and with 1/2+ of fuel. Admittedly I have invested in some lightweight panels. An MAShaw CF hood which dropped 22lbs off the front of the car. I picked up FG decklid and rear wing for cheap which allowed me to drop another 30ish (have to check notes on that).
Anyway, for the time being I've started a CarDomain blog until I can get my own page running for this. Hopefully it's ok to post this here so feel free to check it out if interested. I'll be trying to update it as often as possibly based partly on when I can work on it.
Cheers.
