Okay I have a few questions, maybe a few other people wonder too.
1) how do you keep your courtesy light stuck in the backpad? Mine wont snap in, its aftermarket (VW) of course, but the original was pretty much the same, but busted. 2) The center defrost vent does about nothing in my car, whats the deal? Is hot or cold supposed to come out of it? 3) How much does a 911 engine weigh, say a complete 2.7 with everything on it? So I can figure the HP/weight increase advantage/disadvantage of going with a /6 . 4) Is the BMW brake upgrade enough to stop a 180 HP 914/6 . .? Or is the 911 stuff the BEST way to go? I have more, but I'll ask some other time.. TIA Bob O |

1.The backpad has two metal strips riveted to the cardboard.. yours are probably missing. The light snaps over these metal strips. You have to yank the backpad out of the car to see if they are still in place... if they are not.. then you can rivet some in. Sometimes they get bent out of the way and the light never contacts them. In this case.. bend them back.
2. Dont have a clue.. I dont early tubs. 3. Dont recall. Something like 350lbs. 4. Your stock brakes will stop the car. They just wont do it multiple times from 120mph (neither will the BMW's) 911 vented rotor is the best way. B |
