Thanks, man...the car is quite the handful. I can't guarantee any in-car footage, it all depends if I can ghetto-cobble a camera mount this week.

The rear seat (plus belts, brackets, whatnot) I'm guessing is around 30lbs total, the recaro is 22 lbs with brackets and slider (stocker is around 60 lbs), sunroof was about 30 lbs, steering wheel swap and airbag may have gotten me 5 lbs (airbags are HEAVY). I'm thinking the areas most overweight are the front seats, battery, exhaust.

I'm going to be having a garage sale pretty quick...lots of parts to go, including;
Eibach aluminum strut tower bar
E36 325 instrument cluster w/126k miles
E36 318ti instrument cluster w/189k miles
E36 M3 3" maf sensor
E36 M3 OBD-I fuel injectors 17lb/hr

I know there's more, I'll round it all up and make a thread soon. No calling dibs in this thread, please!
