Hey JP... I noticed the metal you cut off where the rear bumper went. maybe we can all learn from your madness (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Did you do it for weight savings, engine clearance, or what? I am thinking of doing the same only keep the bumper on since I drive it on the street. Just take off the metal that does nothing. How about that tow mount. Looks worthless as well. |

Just looking to shed as much weight as I can without making the car LOOK like a dedicated track car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) So maybe the trunk will stay for now... I don't know. I may just search out all brants threads and try to go through everything like he did.
I am even shedding my weight. I ws at 190 but stopped lifting to gain. I started running and was down to 180 until I got sick a few weeks ago. Back to 185 but I think if I keep it up I can get down to 170- 175. I am working ALL avenues to shed weight while keeping the car looking like a 914. I love this car and I don't want to take away from the outter look to drop weight. I really am going to go for more of a Euro 914 with a few American things. When I paint the car... who knows when that will be... I will remove the front badge. The Porsche stipe will stay on the side. No PORSCHE on the engine lid. 914-6-VW-PORSCHE badge for the rear. Euro signals for front and rear but keep the side makers, no matter how much some hate them. That said, on the inside and under the car I will take everything and add strngth where needed and remoce anything that isn't. This car is really just for fun and autocrossing. Make sense now Rich? |
