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??? |

I'm aware of Moggy's use of the car.
I would wager that my full caged, seam welded, complete AX chassis is stronger than his. To toss out advice because it comes from folks not in line with your usage is not only arrogant, but stupid. (I would have used "hubris" but you'd have to look that up.) Rookies. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'm done. Have a nice day. Attached image(s) |

Take your cranky medicine and get over it. In case you don't know it, I love ya man and always respect what you have done. (And if you used the "hubris" dart towards me, you obviously don't get me. I'm the farthest from arrogant. I just tease amongst friends now and then. Sorry you didn't catch the vibe. My sense of humor is dry, and this is the Internet, so I understand.) I was probably poking more at Paul than you and I think he knows it!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) While his car wouldn't hold up to Moggy's rally course, it might possibly kick your old car's butt on the AX course!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Then again, Moggy's car wouldn't beat your best AX times, since it is a different animal. I'm having a nice day. You should too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Sorry for the diversion Moggy. Can't wait to see what you do next. |

Dude, I LIKE being a grumpy old man.....not to mention I have little choice in the matter. BTW, Paul drove shitbox for several passes at an AX a few years back. He is the only guy that ever drove it that couldn't beat my best time......it was only a couple tenths but I remind him of that every chance I get. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I may be old but I was slow. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |

Now I would be curious what JP's times would have been like in the lightbox. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
