Thank you!
I'm curious to find out whether there's a significant weight differential between the manual and power racks themselves.
Plus of course 1.2 liters of power steering fluid itself is about 2.25 pounds...

Hello guys,
Does anyone have removed both of his beams ? (front & rear)
I know some have drilled them, but is there really a gain of weight by drilling them ?
I herd a few of you have removed the front beam, the rear being more difficult to remove as it support the bumper right ?...
Just thinking removing both ,
Does any one know if the old 911's have them too ?
Cheers

I put an almost bare shell onto the scales the other day and thought I'd add the info here. Weights were taken from under the jacking pads.
Easier to not what is still on the shell than whats removed removed:
Shell
Bonnet
Fuel tank
HVAC case
Empty doors
Factory sound deadening
EVERYTHING else not currently fitted.
After I levelled the pads I got the following weights & total (420.5kg):

Giving this a bump for a lightweight hood showdown. I just weighed my bare front hood and my one-off carbon hood on a consistently accurate scale (myself+steel hood - myself, myself+carbon - myself, keeps the scale in its accuracy sweet spot). A bit different from what's on the first page here. Maybe '92+ hoods had an extra 5lbs of reinforcement?
36.2 lbs '91 C4 USA steel hood, bare except emblem & original paint
15.4 lbs custom carbon hood, gel coat on top, uncoated carbon on bottom, unpainted
FVD advertises:
40.0 lbs factory steel hood, also listed as "around 42lbs" https://www.fvd.net/de-en/9645110100...kg-40-lbs.html
15.8 lbs fiberglass (GRP) in gelcoat https://www.fvd.net/de-en/FVD5119110...lbs-72-kg.html
14.7 lbs carbon/kevlar "coated to accept paint" (gelcoat?) https://www.fvd.net/de-en/KEV5110100...e-painted.html
14.7 lbs "polished" carbon/kevlar ("lacquered" paint not needed) with a crazy price tag https://www.fvd.net/de-en/KEV5110100...74-89-964.html
13.2 lbs genuine RS aluminum hood https://www.fvd.net/de-en/9115110103...-lbs-6-kg.html
12.8 lbs "ultra lightweight" carbon "lacquered" with a *really* crazy price tag https://www.fvd.net/de-en/FVD5110100...lbs-58-kg.html
11.0 lbs un-finished carbon (no gelcoat) https://www.fvd.net/de-en/FVD5110100...-lbs-5-kg.html
These folks advertise 31 lbs for the stock hood, 9 lbs for "epoxy carbon", 10.8 lbs for "epoxy" fiberglass:
http://www.federleichte-elfer.de/dp64/aussen.html
GT Racing's stock hood weight is consistent with mine "Original stock hood: 35 lbs". They say "average 10 lbs" for their foam core + fiberglass, which sounds unusually light

MA Shaw doesn't list any weights, but offer both fiberglass and carbon
http://www.mashaw.biz/74Hood.asp
Getty offers a few versions and says "about 10 lbs" for their fiberglass foam core

Hey Nick!
My stock frunk lid also weighed in at 32 lbs. Stock decklid 1990 C2 coupe.
As you know, I have the same CF frunk lid from Helion Composites. How’s your fitment? My lid is a bit too long, and the paint shop ignored my notes on adjusting the fitment. I may need to shave the front end down, or bite the bullet and get an aluminum hood.

Ha! Well I take some comfort that I'm almost spot-on the average= 36.0 lbs. A good exercise in internet accuracy.
My carbon hood is still leaning up against a wall... but I'm finding some time to get back to the 964. Interesting note on the length, I'll watch for that when I test mount. I co-drove our buddy Bob's '84 targa at last week's autocross. First time I spent a full day flogging a 3.2. And made me appreciate the 964 chassis more than ever.

I just weighted my carbon hood and a steel hood.
13.2 lbs for the carbon hood (unpainted, but with RS prop rod) vs 35.3 lbs for the painted steel hood
