So far, ive removed the p/s, a/c, 4 cyl radiator setup, fan delete+kit, 24r battery exhange (honda size) and relocated to rear and ended up MUCH less than m44 stock weight. Gained some back with the m3 brake kit, xbrace, strut bar, and wheel setup. |
Some of those weight saving mods are pretty extreme. Certainly not everyone is meant for no AC and no PS, but moving the battery to the back and adding a med. case diff will just about bring the car back into balance to compensate for the 2 extra cyls.
