As some of you may know I rally a 914 over here in the UK. Mainly against Ford Escorts. Now I always knew that I was down 50bhp to the Escorts but I always thought I was lighter. At the previous rally my car, along with all other competitors, were weighed. My car came in 1010kg, with a full tank of fuel, driver and co-drivr were not in th car. The Escorts were all about the same.
So..... how do some of you guys get so light? Here's what I've already done to save weight: Lexan windows, side and back F/glass boot and bonnet All grill engine lid Removed heat shield above exhaust Stripped out interior including all sound deadening and tar Late doors but with the crash bar cut out. Here's what is fighting against the weight savings: Skid plates front and rear Front oil cooler and oil lines to it. Roll cage Engmann long kit CFR rear suspension mount reinforcement kit So.... alot of you guys have the additional weight of the above e.g. rollcage, rear suspension reinforcements etc. How do you get the car below 1000kg? what am I missing??? |

It does seem a little heavy
I run all metal rockers, hoods, fenders, all of the trunk floors intact, etc and can beat that weight with a -6 installed you can shave 10lbs from a stock top with elbow grease and only the cost of a few dzus fasteners.... another 50+ from stock doors by gutting the frame etc... I took a metal car (only fiberglass bumpers) to 1826 wet. It has a windshield, and almost 5 gallons of oil in it. I guestimate that I could take 220-230lbs from my car if I cut everything and went with all glass and a 4 banger. take pictues for us I do believe the early chassis are 100 to 200lbs lighter |
