Quick question: are the lightweight hoses safe? I never could figure out hoses resistances and flexibility and how to upgrade these. If you could explain what you looked for when choosing these new hoses and what made you choose them and actually try to upgrade them, I would very grateful.

Me personally I have benefited in Mr. Linton's insights and his creation of parts and pieces for weight reduction. I truly wish he would continue to post and share his knowledge in this forum. He has shared some pictures of his creativity and amazed by his imagination, experience, and knowledge how to lighten and make better parts and pieces for his Porsches.

+1. I've been looking forward to developments and updates. I don't have an R, but I'm exploring weight reduction options for my touring (aside from wheels, battery, and exhaust).

Another vote to continue. I find it fascinating even if I am not an R owner or prospective customer. "Adding lightness" is the biggest need and opportunity for the industry we love. Even if you only post a progress digest every so often I think it would be greatly appreciated.

Ignore the haters. Like, literally--just block/ignore them using the board feature. Life is so much better that way. All those who are viewing this thread enjoy it.

I’ve only just found this thread and look forward to tracking through the posts. Your clearly very knowledgeable and doing something much more interesting than buying a Singer, I was interested to see how the prices might compare. I’ll never be able to afford an R or heavily modify it. I always tweak cars to personalise them, accepting any changes I make are for my benefit and often devalue or add very little.
Id love to find and rebuild my old C2RS, It lost weight, a bit... I coveted the aluminium doors available at the time at silly money but never bought them and had some one off carbon throttle bodies made, played with Motec and had a fantastic time. A car offers a journey in many ways, do please continue to share yours with us
