So, there are some big changes coming in E-production (SCCA) to "equalize" the competition. In 2005, the 914-4 2.0L runs at 1870 pounds with driver.
Is anyone thinking of switching from FP to EP and using a 2.0L now that the 914 has lost 50 pounds? As you may have guessed, I'm considering it. Since I have 2-2.0L engines and no 1.8s, I'll be starting in EP anyway. But, I'm on the 4-year plan to get competitive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif) , so it really doesn't matter immediately. I know they used to be competitive in EP. Anyway, there have been some posts about the horsepower a FP 1.8 can make. Any thoughts on a 2.0L? |

Somewhere buried in this thread someone asked about making the 2005 GCR weight in EP trim or 1870 pounds, with driver (after a session).
Well, here's an update. Car is prepared open-top. My car weighs 1700 pounds dry with driver. I weighed it yesterday. I finally got it together enough to weigh (fuel cell, seat, suspension, powertrain installed, battery sitting in place, etc). I probably have another 50 pounds of stuff to add (oil, plumbing and stuff..... conservative guess) and would like to shoot to end a race with 50 pounds of fuel. So, I'll need to add more than 70 pounds of ballast to make weight. And that's with the stock hood, rear bumper and trunk lid. |
