Not bad, there has to be a way to lighten it up a bit more without sacrificing saftey and quality. If your not gonna use a rear seat maybe you could cut the pan halves out and replace them with fiberglass ones, and even the rear luggage compartment ( fire wall, etc.). VW Innovations (Glass Action) sells them. I dont really know how well that would work but its an idea. They said the pans bolt in, you could just use fiberglass resin or bondo to seal and smooth them out.......

On the matter of weight: Last weekend I just saw a 2,0 type 1 with Oettinger Nikasils (90 x 78,4) that weighted (are you sitting?) 85 kg and produced 211 hp at the dyno at 7000rpm with Porsche cooling, custom exhaust with motorbike silencer and fan belt on.
Engine has a compression ratio of 10,8 :1 , DTA efi and will be used in 'dirt racing' (space frames). Mag case and alu cylinders save a lot as well... One other thing to think about: the ligther your car, the smaller your brakes can be. Try a avoid heavy porsche vented rotors if weigth is your goal. Light weight stuff is about as costly tho as more hp Greetings, Walter |

hi
sam tip for you if you take a hose from your eberspacher inlet and run that to your car as well you will efectively have re-circulation cutting down on the heaters cycle and ensuring faster warm up to boot . i will take a picture of how my battery is fitted to the front of my typ3 and try and post it .

Anybody know how much weight a one piece front end saves.
I was thinking about one since I need so much bodywork up in front it would be easier to cut it off and use a one piece front end. Does anybody make a widened one piece front end. If I get a quote to make a widened one piece front end would anybody be interested.

Dont do a one piece front end! It will make your car too light in the front (which is bad for handling, good for drag racing) and it will make your car less rigid too.
You could always use a fiberglass hood & fenders but stilll leave your car intact & uncut.

C'mon njv!
What the heck are you thinking! Who carries groceries in their V-Dubs anymore? These vehicles aren't pack animals! They are prime specimens of what a car can be (if it were 30 years old and they didn't have acid rain when it was built):silly: I strap the bags in the baby seat!!! |
