    abs delete? factory ebrake cable removed? drum brake out? front portion of the wheelwells in the engine bay? window washer tank? just making sure you guys really removed all the unnecessary weight!!

      Don’t forget the trunk lid and gas lid. Move the battery to the passenger seat location for lower center of gravity too :)

    As someone who drifted with only a driver seat for a hot minute, getting a passenger seat was well worth the extra 15-20lbs. Much more intense when you have a homie screaming in the car lol

    Crash bar replacements can weigh 3-6lbs vs the 20+lbs oem, speed holes in everything non structural body panel and if you really want to scrape off a few more pounds cut out the unnecessary wiring but that's a little more technical and tedious for very little weight.

      I think hoon garage got like 10 pounds out by cutting unnecessary wires. And I'm sure it'd be more with a sedan.

    So I have an e36 4 door that I use in Khanacross. I will probably spend the Christmas holidays making mine lighter but I have removed all the factory wiring and run Motec with an M42 engine. I have also removed the factory hand brake and ABS. I will also fit a small motorcycle battery to also further reduce weight.

    Pain in the butt. We decided to strip the sound deadening after we ran our first 9 in the car. Kept ac, full interior, heated leather seats, etc. just so we couldn't get accused of being the first in the 9s because it was gutted. Even used the oem bmw 16s with stickys and oem suspension with h&r sport springs. Got the car aligned with like 400 pounds in the trunk to simulate the squat when launching. Was alot of trial and error but great times.😂Sry for the essay.

    I'm pretty sure the sedan is only about a big bag of potatoes heavier than the coupe and most of that is the rear seats. The E36 was a weird car for something so common.

      I've heard reducing the vehicle's weight by about 100 pounds can lead to an effective increase of roughly 1-2 horsepower in terms of acceleration capability, but I've also heard every 20 pounds of weight reduction is like adding 10 hp, if that were true though they would have made 100+ hp, im taking one of these comments advice but instead of putting my battery in the center of the car im putting my heavy ass sub box in the middle lmao (for lower center of gravity)
