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 get over 90 quite often, 110 less often. Although flat out in fifth on tarmac rallies happens now and again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Anyhow... I like the look of the kick spoiler, it kinda balances the car, so it stays (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I've got up to 11.5kgs that I've dropped off the car. The front skid plate weighs 9.5kgs and the rear is 22.2kgs, my plan is to re-design these for tarmac rallies at half the weight, giving me a further 15.9kgs saving. I'm going to go with f/g bumpers front and rear for tarmac events so again a further 12kgs savings over the metal ones. So all in all that should total up to 39 kgs weight saving (60lbs). Thanks all for your help (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
