Any idea what´s the weight savings on:

1) 21mm hollow torsion bars vs. 21mm solid bars. Who makes a good hollow 21mm bar for the 914-4?

2) 19mm front sway bar vs. hollow front sway bar. My current bar is a Weltmeister...which hollow bar would be a good substitute?

3) OE rocker panels vs. FG rocker panels?

4) Odyssey battery vs. a standard (DieHard in my case) battery?


What other items could be easily replaced for weight saving purposes??

hey ricky,

didn't know there was another 914 guy around here

replacing the glass with lexan is a huge weight savings, maybe 70 pounds or so. If you are building a race car its a great idea and safer too.
