.....billet hubs, standard tar removal, etc.

i think the billet hubs wont help ya...

the vented rotor weighs a bunch more... and i think wouls make ya slower due to heavier rotaing mass......


just my take

.....the 911 vented rotor with aluminum hubs (cast or billet) weighs less than the 914/4 solid front rotor/hub assembly (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

I've posted it on another thread...it was like 1 pound per assembly........

It's fun to watch the tach spin past all the numbers. I smile every time I mash it. I had my 2270 out to Bremerton in January and got in 3 practice runs but, it was raining cats and dogs and I couldn't roll onto the throttle gently enough so I was all over the place. Fun though  :D

My wife Laurie is ever so mildy afraid to drive our RAT 2270 equipped teener due to the hot throttle response. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

My son, Shaggy nearly spun the car applying throttle in a corner, the only time he has driven the car, with me in the passanger seat. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/yikes.gif)

Roll on the power is right. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/thumb3d.gif)

Not everyone has RAt power, those not so MassIVe must hold the throttle WFO to have as much fun as you do at half throttle!

And that flywheel isn't even lightened!

"those not so MAssIVe" ? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)
I may not be "massive" but I hold my own when required.
Don't be afraid of the power just control all of what you got. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/driving.gif)

No such thing as too much power or throttle response too quick.
But improper application of either will make you look silly really quick.

Last event I was 10 seconds quicker than my son driving both driving the Red Neck Racer. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/poke.gif)

Joe,

Come down here and have a go in my car.

You want response? You better have a neck brace. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif)

I'm on my way. What time is the drivers meeting.

Only way I would jump in your car is on a big spot of tarmac and a sea of cones.

If your motor is anything the one Jake had in his white car when I drove it, driving your car will be a real hoot. Might need a booster seat so's I can see over the dash. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/lol2.gif)
Are your Slicks on the way? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) or do I need to bring mine (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

Paul's engine is BADDER than the one that WAS in my car, Joe...... (By about 15 HP )

It's a long stroke, short rodded, heft headed, velocity making SOB!

I'm selling the white car as soon as I get the Turbo Development finished. 356 is on the way!

BTW_ Paul, I need that other head soon... I have a use for it.

In "XP" your engine design or manufacture is open(so is your wallet). As so long as it is an automotive powerplant. I'll be running (I hope this season) in XP as well with my 914 watercooled 1.8 turbo motor.
The cost of my low mileage motor set up was $2500, and I get 200hp/flat220tq.The original plan for me was to run in SM2, but the evolution of the class wasn't going to be conducive.

Well the 200LBS wasn't an issue for me, as I'd already resolved that my car modifications to be in SM2 would just be too much protest bait. Unlike most owners here, I bought this car to modify from the beginning.
My conversion path was more specific to the auto-x arena. Since SM2 no longer looked to give me a place,
(crossmember issue) E-mod was the next in line. This area gave me the freedom to do things at a higher level, but the car was going to be heavy for anything but local/regional events. XP came into existance with a decent weight range and accepts my mods. Like you said WE GET SLICKS !

Why exactly did they move you out of SM2?

I haven't looked at the rules to much the last few years but I thought it was the same as SM only for 2 seaters.

Just need to keep your interior pretty much I though.
