914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Got it weighed today

Posted by: Joe Ricard Dec 21 2004, 04:31 PM

1978 lbs 1/2 tank of gas, no spare, no tools, no other crap. 4 Fuchs W/ Kumho V700's Just as it would Autocross.
Found I have a late drivers door. Should be able cut some more there. Got to take the one off the "stripper"
If that Recaro SRD wasn't so damn comfy I would yank it too. And ya just gotta have heat so I have all the factory heat stuff.
Maybe I can get one of them Hawker Genesis 13EP batteries. 12lb.

My 73' six pigs out at 2275lbs! IPB Image I'd say you are doing very good on that diet.

did you do front and rear as well or only the full car??

Posted by: Joe Ricard Dec 21 2004, 04:47 PM

Whole car. I am still wrestling with ride height. Got it just about level front to back and side to side. 4 1/8 inches @ the donuts. Front A arms are near level maybe just slightly pointing up and out. Hard to see the tie rods.

Went to get an alignment today and couldn't get it up onto the rack. can only do front alignment. This rincky dink town doesn't have the talent or equipment to line this car up. So I guess I will have to string it best I can.

Yes truck scale. Been pretty accurate with all my cars. Full interior well sort of. No carpet or tar floor boards, Early back pad and passenger seat. Carbs
the carpet thing is touchy becuse it could put me in Prepared class SCCA So I have a sort of carpet both floor mats which I take out so it doesn't bunch up under the pedals. IPB Image I would rather wax my floor boards than wire wheel them.

Local events no big deal Plus I haven't trophied yet
