You're using a 'Vert as a base for a Track Slag ???

Isn't that the heaviest and the least rigid of the E36 range ? Who's bright idea was that !

Considering a coupe kerb weight is 1395 and the convert is 1495 100kg won't break the bank and considering we have taken more then 100kg away from it then no not a bad choice.also so the car is just as rigid as the coupe cos its had chassis strengthening also the cage now makes it a little tighter!!!!
This car has vurtually low body roll and handles superb on track!
Obviously its not super quick but we have modded it to gain some consideral power and it goes well!!

Fair enough mate but imagine a 4 door/2 door E36 saloon/coupe @ about 1395 kg loosing at least 100 kg with a nice rigid shell already there.
Stripped out 4 door is the way I'd go

like this one I rented a few years ago @ the Ring.

I get your point matt but i never said the car was gonna do blistering laps billy knocked it down to a .2.30 dead so its well paced considering a friend running an e36 coupe same set up did a 2.22
We still have some bits more to do its not finished yet.
Its a fun trackday car get in rag around enjoy drop the top see the sky kinda thing while the csl's hibernate and it saves some abuse and milage to so for us its good enough!!
