The Racecar, Phase 2

The next phase (May-July, 1998) was to lighten the car as much as possible (within reason, and without spending too much time or money on the project).  All interior pieces that were'nt necessary were removed.  RS America door panels were installed.   Sound proffing was removed where it easily came off.  All the airconditioner components were removed, including all hoses, cables, blowers, etc.  The end result?   About 160 lbs savings.  That's like having another person riding in the car with you suddenly get out!

Turbo S steering whell installed.  Instruments were turned sideways for better viewing at high speeds. Hot Lap timer mounted where the ashtray used to be.

Interior pieces removed to save weight.  5 Pt harneses installed. Fire ext installed.

Temporary AutoPower roll bar installed.
All seats, insulation, etc removed from rear. (about 60 lbs)

Strut brace installed.  Air conditioning blowers, etc. removed.

RS America Style door panels from Original Fit Interiors in Oregon replaced these ugly, heavy, brown things :)

Original 3.0 liter motor w/ air compressor removed.  Ready and
waiting for the new 1997 993 3.6 liter 290hp beast!
