Weight reduction, 4-door car

[gpeluso]

I have a four door.... Can I remove the rear window motors in the doors? How about the evap system ... Charcoal canisters too?

Take this with a grain of salt, because I've not layed eyes on the ITCS, but I think that what ever allowance there is to remove the front door motors, air bags, and electric locking mechanism, should also work on the back door.

What about window glass? are you planning on keeping or removing it? I'd think you could even gut the rear doors, if you put in two mini door bars that extend into the cavity between the main hoop and the down braces. Your best bet is to read the appropriate section of the ITCS FWIW.

Glass is to stay... No true door gutting... Currently running a 2.8 and feel that maybe a 2.5 (m54)might be better in the long run but need to loose 100 lbs.... Looking for every little possibility... Uphill battle with this car.

I live in pittsburgh and I ran it last weekend at beaverun and New Jersey the week prior at the pro-it.... Car is off by hp compared to an e36 currently and weights about 125 lbs compared..... If I can lose weight , I feel that the 2.5 (m54 ) will network similar horsepower but just a lighter car.. I currently run a standalone so plugging a different power plant is not hard... I have collected a small pile or used trannies and engines for experiments...2.5 Mtu, 2.8 Mtu , 2.5 m54 and both trannies... Same ratios but different between the 2.5 and 2.8
