I'm planning out the next steps in getting weight out of my car. Anyone know the difference in weight between door skins like Roger Sheridan's or GT-Racings versus doing a hack job on the existing 914 doors? I've seen the hollowed out doors and they feel lighter when you open them, but I was wondering if anyone actually had experience weighing them.
Sheridan says his door skilns are 4 lbs. each. The positive on hollowing out the doors is that I could still open and close the door. This is for my track only race car. It has a full cage, so I don't need to worry about the street. Anyone have any experience? Thanks, Bill |
