I may later on but no way I'm doing a RWD conversion without a LSD so it'll have to wait for now.

Also, does anyone know the weight of the Techart Race Exhaust? or where I can find the weight? I couldn't find much about it and it looks like it was just a renamed Super Sprint exhaust? Is this correct?

Yeah, I don't waste time. I plan out things I want to do before I even get a car so that when I get it I can go straight to work on it.

when I take into account the lighter wheels and exhaust the car sits right at 100 lbs under stock weight...time to find another 100. I plan on getting gt3 seats but the car has stock sport seats so they aren't as heavy as the full power seats so it won't save too much. and no, I'm not going on a diet! I am a healthy 6'2 at 180 lbs

Good idea - you were already in that boat with the 135i! (open diff RWD...)
