Working on the final details before set-up and testing.
Ducting the radiator and isolating the air filter.









Waiting on rubber seal for the edges for the aluminum to seal everything up nice and tight.
Setting the car up on the scales after Labor day and it's ready to start shaking down!

Weight is in! Time was made over the weekend to start the final prep on Widerstandsfahig 001 before testing. Making the minimum weight for the X prepared class with this chassis seemed almost impossible given the rule set. Certainly, adding four more cylinders and massive tires didn't help the struggle. Based on the displacement, the minimum weight goal was 2226lbs....
Absolutely stoked to see 2168lbs!!
The front to rear distribution is not the best but a nice roll bar will help that out, and get the car to minimum weight.
Two separate sets of weights are displayed. The heavier set includes fuel and driver ballast added.

So I finally got the car out for some testing and could not have been more pleased. No surprises, very predictable, and nothing broke..

Boost Brothers Garage came out and covered the day, have a look!

Hey Kniners,

Are things still going well with your awesome 944? I saw it at the Tuner Galleria show a few years ago. It was truly awesome.

I was lucky enough to talk Kniners out of this great build. It's now at its new home in Colorado!
