Yeah, back to looking at 2.2 and 2.4 engines while day dreaming. Not sure it is relational...
Just curious If there are any significant handling/weight advantages. I don’t think so, so does it come down to aesthetics of how the engine spin and sound? I will duck and cover now... |

Pretty good list, but I can add to that.
Shorten all bolts - Free Drill lots of holes in stuff - Free Thin down things - Free Acid dip the car and take a few thousands off everything Carbon fiber will help you - but more $$$$ Magnesium Wheels - $$$ Remove all the gauges - Free Bike Speedo or your phone works - Free lightest tires you can find - not free $$$ depends on what you wish to spend Remove all glass - wear a helmet Ditch the top, and all the trunk top related stuff - Free Gun drill everything you can - Free Replace everything you can with Titanium - not free, but can be fun in a fun way - Lathe Time Remove the passenger seat - Free Make a 911 engine into a -4 - not free, but lighter Carry less fuel - Free Aluminum any where you can - Free to $$$ Aluminum door skins - $$$ Did I mention drilling lots of holes Carbon Fiber chassis - too many dollars to make this happen but we can dream. Or just drive a really rusty 914 - they get lighter each and every day. |
