    Got it to crank Sunday night. Hp Tuners came yesterday, deleted VATS and some other things and tried to start. Looking like a bad (brand new) fuel pump. Nasty open header idle vid hopefully coming soon.

    Before the cage goes in and very low fuel load, but much lighter than expected. Still has full power doors and all stock glass.

    It runs, trying to refine the tune a bit as it runs pig rich. Slowly learning HPT. I will try to get a vid up this weekend of it idling. Started gutting doors, have gone through like 437 discs so far. Seems to be around 12lb a door plus window in extra steel that can be removed. Really hoping to get it around 2600 ready to race.

    Yeah it's been a while. Been working on the car consistently. Cooling system all hooked up, seat in. Had a chance to drive the car last Friday, and it's pretty silly. The lightness is really apparent. Even down probably 40hp (tune is still off and saw some knock, drivers header is hitting engine), it feels retarded. Was hilarious pulling into Hermanie BP and seeing all the hillbillies wonder why a gay blue BMW was doing a pretty good impression of a cup car with the nasty cam and open exhaust. Some pictures...

    Final weight before it goes to cage guy. Still has 40lb stock battery, 1/4 tank of fuel. Previous weight was empty fuel load, no seat, before doors were gutted and a bunch of wiring removed.





    Still think we have more weight to pull out. Still has heavy stock hood and trunk.



    Cleaned up wiring dramatically. Floor will get painted after cage is in.

    If you say the car is silly it must be ridiculous.

    Not perfect, but I cut them out with a Harbor Freight angle grinder. Gonna use something else on the fenders. Looks like I can get a lot more of the crashbars but nearly impossible to get more than I got. Only weighed like 3 lb a door, whats left may be a pound.

    I expect the cage to add 80-100lbs, some of which will be offset by a lighter battery and some more weight reduction. Hoping to stay around 2600-2650 ready to race.

    Haven't posted much, but here is outside video before I locked the motor up (oil starvation). Made it a total of 4 runs between two autocrosses (and street tuning and a ton of dyno pulls).

    Probably end up with another engine. I'm sure this one is junk but won't know for sure until we drop the pan.

    That's a bummer. But the car sure seems to handle great. Has to be a hoot to drive.
