Rear under-tray: 4.97

Intensive wash reservoir: Still need to weigh
Rear Belts: 2.2
Rear gas struts: 0.48
Frunk carpet: 2.3
Spoiler mechanism: 0.875
Stereo Head Unit (Pioneer): 1.8

Total so far: 64.115Kgs!!!

Still need to remove:

speakers
Rear Shelf
Sunroof Delete: Might just take motor out for now as not working anyhow
DoorCards and replace with RS
Rear Heater Bypass pipe (5KGs est)
Also want to replace the rear deck with a duckspolier (7KGs estimated Saving), go with a carbon bonnet (14KGs est saving) and Recaros (13Kgs x2 est) .


Target reduction is 100KGs.. will take pics at some point of all the stuff removed so far.. As far as my use of the car is concerned none of this has diminished the car's usability on the road..

Also received the new doorcards from APPBIZ, they weigh 2.89KGs in total so will subtract this from weight of current cards when I fit them..



Motor Mechanism and Stereo..

Also have you decided which Recaro seats you are going to get?

in a recent porsche magazine i read somewhere is making a lightweight engine lid, its metal (steel or aluminium) and its lighter than the ducktail in fibreglass
really sorry i cant remember the company and i left the mag in the dominican republic
want to say it R-RSR though???

Lemass Automotive

the mag was classic porsche and it had the orangee yagermiester 911 in it

BLACK-BETTY

Thanks Guys... The ribbing was an extra but I preferred it to the flat plain ones even though that is how the real RSs are..

+1. Nice look... A little bit RS, a little bit stock. Nice way to give the RS cards a more interesting style.

Fitted the new door cards today..

Original cards x2: - 9.8kgs

RS Cards x2: + 2.89 KGs

Total so far: 71.025Kgs!!!



Next on list are lightweight RS carpets but the sound deadening is staying in place. The Pole Positions will have to wait as cant afford any big expenses for a while due to the upcoming engine rebuild.

looking good jack, you have now got me toying with the idea of RS door cards
if you decide to sell your seats can i have first dibs

Jack. I removed the sound deadening but kept centre tunnel forward of handbrake and footwells. Absolutely perfect combo of weight reduction and comfort...

She's ooking good! Plus nobody likes a fat lass do they?

Good move, like it.

Nice look, I prefer that style to the normal RS type. Was the weight of the original cards with speakers or without?

jack.pe

With speakers.. but the handles, bins and other bits weigh a fair bit too.
