BMW M3 Goes on a Lightweight Mission: Fresh Wheels and Big Brakes

[@HooniganProjectGarage]

If Vin let you borrow one of his cars for the day which one would you take: Ford Raptor, 1JZ Nissan S14, BMW M3, or the Lexus LS430... and what would you do with it...

[@x_kill568]

Gotta say 1j, and its not hard to guess what would happen

[@zerodamonsta942]

The 1JZ s14 of course

[@HooniganProjectGarage]

Don't skimp on safety, keep the rollbar. Go full track spec or leave it as is, half ass is never pleasing. Lexan windows and reduced interior is a good start.

[@chriscovington11]

Scotto and broken cars?

[@steampunkbadger1841]

You could go for fiberglass or carbon fiber hood and trunk. Could also put a lexan rear windshield. Plenty of ways to save weight

[@ZVilleneuve]

Light rear under braking/turn in is just physics. Heavy/late braking takes weight off the rear and shifts it forward. How you ease off the pedal at the end of braking point also dictates how the weight shift will resettle. Brake earlier and lighter or embrace the light rear and use it to help rotate the car for mid/slow speed corners allowing you to have the car pointed sooner and get back on power earlier

[@TheOystei]

Carbon fiber roof, look in to CSL doorpanels, or hard motorsports doorpanels. The hood is aluminium, so not that much save on a carbon hood, but fenders could do a bit. You can always do the rear 3 windows in molded lexan, and still retain rear power windows.

[@aklip]

The rotation/rear lightness feeling when you go hard on the breaks into a turn in an e46 (and most old 3 series) is normal. That's just what trailing arm suspensions do.

[@Mike-cv7hv]

I've had 2 330ci track day cars and they are awesome. Cheap, tough and fun to drive

[@S-Kidz]

If your running stock eccentric bolts for aliment they will move under heavy load aka " hitting the track" it if it does have eccentric bolts get an eccentric lock out kit. Bascially regular bolts that lock in place. Allowing you to adjust by the arms only keeps aliment better.

[@Jeffe46M]

Vin just has to stunt on all of us with his dope ass vehicles. M3 goals!

Simplicity is key, and spending the money where it matters most!

[@enso3140]

the best solution for the roll bar but costly is building one out of titanium definitely gonna be lighter

[@darquille]

[@nicbachleitner6227]

braking into a corner does a weight transfer and puts more pressure down wards on the nose which can loosen up the rear, try coming off the brake slower. Just a thought

[@ANDYblacks13]

a one piece wheel V's a three piece of same static weight is one thing,but the rotational weight effect of the bolts is multiplying the faster it spins that would effectively make the car slower the most effective area to remove weight to lighten a flywheel is from the outer most edge as an example

[@whitelightning4031]

[@Piotr94L]

Vin you could also swap roof panel to Carbon fiber one like it was in M3 CSL and save some weight and lower center of gravity also with carbon fiber bonnet with M3 GTR vents which will also improve cooling and reduce high aerodynamic pressure in this area.

[@vonknight5311]

Move the coolant reservoir back closer to the firewall in that empty well. I see you already have the SAP delete, that's good. The coolant res relocation is hella easy too. Dont know if stoptechs are light but 135i OEM front caliper conversion w/ CSL rotors and Porsche 996 rear calipers w/ CSL rotors are pretty good. In the trunk, cut out the air compressor well and flat out the gap with an aluminum slate. I think 17x10 APEX ARC-8 wheels are lighter than the Volk TE37's too. Carbon CSL trunk, GTR hood, side mirrors, roof and door cards. Titanium exhaust. Euro headers. CSL carbon center console. Voila.

[@Spectere09]

Yes but the front is down ~18

[@MoosesRevenge]

@@Spectere09 That is true. I guess given the premise for the video being weight reduction it seemed strange to add new parts which went against that goal.Were it my car, and I were going for 100% performance gains, I would have kept the TE's so at least the back roughly cancelled out(as i can see the benefit having all of the brakes from one manufacturer) and the front would have seen even more benefit. But as it happens, it isn't my car lol and the new wheels do look nice.

[@Spectere09]

It always is a bit hard when your doing a street build but want to maximize the performance at the track. Theres always the ups and downs. He did shed a little bit of weight and got to put on the wheels he couldnt fit over his old brakes. He can shave more weight but it wont be as easy as this was. Time for carbon pannels 😁
