    Default E46 weight reduction

    Can I remove the electric motors for the rear windows..?.. I have a 4 door. How about the charcoal canisters for the evap system?

    Thanks

    Currently ITR .. 328... But would like to run 325...
    I currently end about 2923..., but need to lose more to run as 325..
    You must have put a cage in for a car under 3k .. I did not incase I went to 330 option.

    I believe the evap system can now be removed.

    I would also say that since the rear windows can't be removed, the motors need to stay.

    I run a 323ci and with a quarter of a tank of fuel I come in at 3005#. Getting that 130# out of your car might be a little tough. As far as the rear window motors I won't protest u for it but not sure that it says "you can" so u can't. Not a performance enhancer but it is allowing u to get down to weight.

    Yes Stephen I know what I wrote and I was saying it's not gaining HP like adding a cam but yes it is a performance enhancer because it is allowing him to make min weight so the power to weight ratio is better. Do I have to be literal with u all the time lol read between the lines a little. You like to twist everything I say. Good thing I like u lol
