My tub is a '75..... maybe, like with the 911's the early tubs are lighter

The p/o of my car told me it weighed a touch over 2000, however, on the scales I use it weighs a touch over 2200.. Ive corner balanced it twice since Ive owned it, using the same scles... and it consistently weighs the same (plus minus a few lbs for fluids)

I wonder how 2 sets of Longacre, or Intercomp scales compare? Ive been at a club race where stock guys were screaming because the scruts scales didnt read the same as the scales their set-up guys used..

Must be pretty serious about weigh reduction to consider removing that to save a few ounces.

I know Colin Chapman of Lotus was a fanatic about weight reduction but I don't think he ever asked that much of his drivers!

The '75-'76 is the heaviest car, by a good margin. The '70-'71 cars are a lot lighter. No side-impact beams in the doors, no reinforcement for the 5mph bumpers. Maybe other things, too. Certainly a lot less sound insulation. Less than 2100lbs with a Six is pretty good.

Yeah, that's really good. My '70 914-6 weighed 2200lbs according to the CAT scales back when it was still a 3.0 with the 40IDTs. That's with FG bumpers. FM Oil cooler, but everything else stock (weight wise at least). How much weight does getting the trunks done in FG save? 30lbs a piece? more?

Good job Eddie,

thats a good weight and encouraging to hear.

-how much do you think the FG fenders save?
-Are the FG fenders both front and rear?
(must be for those big tires)
-do you still have the front fresh air ventilation system,
wiring, and headlights?

thanks for your time!

As I recall, each trunk lid was about 30lbs, and the FG replacements I had five years ago were about 10lbs each. Figure 40lbs overall, maybe more if you use very lightweight bits.
