I cut one .... guess I'm not a professional Porsche mechanic ....
By the time the fire burns through the plate, backpad and reaches the location of my body, I will have been out of the car for a LONG period of time with a fire extinguisher in my hands. Oh, and long before it burns through the plate the back window is gonna shatter and flames leap in the cabin. |

Not that it's all that hard, but some of you are saying you would pull out both seats, a backpad and a cover to change out a belt? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) If a belt got hosed up on the road, please no offense intended, I wouldn't want 2/3rds of my interior laying around for others to see. Emabarassing enough to be working on a car broken down with on-lookers (Traffic), worse to have it look completely torn appart.
Track car folks, sure go ahead. Street car dudes, again, you're wierd. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) If you actually have the correct pulleys (Like NOT ones for AC or Air pumps with dual channels), the Porsche tool kit comes with what you need to change it out. |

Ok I am considering doing this as well. It will be a dual purpose track/street car, but most likely without having the back pad installed.
So this gives you... * Easier to change belt * Easier to set timing on non-motronic engines. Anything else? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) On non-motronic engines you mark your flywheel and use that for timing. There is a notch in the top of the 901 for viewing the timing marks. I'm not sure the access panel makes setting the timing easier, you can't reach the distributor from inside, and I'm not sure I would want to rev the engine to 6000+ with my legs near the shifter while facing backwards. When I set my timing, I can reach the distirbutor (carefully), I can see my timing marks on the flywheel, and I have access to the throttle linkage to rev the engine all from within the engine bay. With the access panel, I would think it would require two people, or a lot of back and forth. -Justin |

Of course there's not a six behind there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)
1/8" aluminum is quite a bit stronger than the stock firewall, so no worries (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Attached image(s)
