Considering you don't like yellow zinc , can't wait to see the color. Something to match the Blue I'm sure :)

Started to fit the wiring harness, what a mess. Luckily I record the colors, so I can sort it out:

Man that is some awesome progress, is it safe to assume that you roll the car out to work on it or do you do most of the work where it sits...cause it looks like such a tight fit...;)

If have the possibility to roll out the car, but until now, I did not;)

But as soon the front flares are mounted and the doors are ready to add, I will for sure

Beautiful work!

Nice, Nice, Nice

That wiring harness looks a little fat, surely there are a few extra wires you can remove?........LOL

Somebody hide his drill! LOL

On my way, nothing is save;)

Present horn, was lighter than stock too:

New one, smaller and I made an aluminum bracket and spacer plus used an aluminum nut as well. Result: Saved another 126gr:

BTW I have no idea how it sounds, but at least it's street legal and over 100dB loud:D

Maybe I should downgrade mine too. I only have one now but it sounds like an T ford and people just laugh when I press it at anger : )

Maybe I should install the ductail to go with it for total humiliation.

Did you search for the weight or just grab one that felt light?

What did you do with the rear lights, the heavy anchors?

Roland, you are ruthless, fascinating to follow. However, I can help wondering, are stainless oil and fuel lines not much heavier than later style "composite" hose?

No need for the composite versions when Ruthless Roland has his trusty drilling rig at his disposal - just Swiss cheese those bit@hes!!! Ohhhh what, then he would have to put catch pans everywhere, and if he drilled those, then . . . . :D

PS: Roland, nice touch with the Barbie-sized horn - sweet as always!!! :D

I hope you are using improved aero dynamics to keep this paperweight from blowing around. Oh...have you though about a lightweight bra's requirement for female passengers? Or better yet...no bra's allowed :). Your cars are road taxed by weight right? Do you get a chance to reassess the weight once done?

I searched for smaller diameter and checked when available weight. At same size they are mostly similar weights, so diameter is all you need to know. Steel bracket is also a factor, so I made one myself

Rear lights are plastic now, look my earlier post about here:

Fuel lines are a bit heavier than the PVC ones in the tunnel, but they are not useable with my aluminum fittings and were very old. However I did not have any fitting from pump to pump / return to tank, so this save a bit weight at least. Further all fuel lines are Teflon/SS, so I suggest they are lighter than stock rubber. Aluminum fittings allover help to save weight too.
Oil lines are SS/Rubber because they are "smoother" to route in that size, but of course, Teflons would be lighter. Finally I never saw AN-12 PTFE fittings and hoses...

Big wing I have:D

My girlfriend actually never wears a bra, seriously! And NO I will not show:p

She weights only about 50kg, what she always is woried not to pass. So she fits my concepts very well:D

Switzerland is very federalistic, every canton is different, in my area it's displacement mainly.

Well even there is no goal I will weight once finished. Problem is, it will take a few years until I am finished, as I have thousands of ideas what to do next...

...and refill every 10km:D

Sorry, but it's Ken's hornhttp://forums.pelicanparts.com/suppo...ys/men_ani.gif

I test fitted the rear bumper today, BUT it won't fit anymore:(

Too wide (or body too small) now, further bolting points are not matching the flares and they did before project. If I mounte the 5 ones below reflector as before, none of the bolts on the flare can be mounted, holes not flushing. If I place the bumber best fit, the holes in the middle won't fit:mad:

I seriously have to talk to the body shop. Fit was way better before!

Roland, I am familiar with your homemade, VERY awesome, big wing (first rate craftsmanship!) - I was just making a little , word-play joke for Paul's benfit (the "wing" representing "something else") - ha ha ha!

WOW, too bad the bodyshop fu@ked up your bumper - wonder how they accomplished that?

hello,

your rear bumper was new for this projekt?
you have test fit the new fiberglas part, make it fit and than gave it to the bodyshop?

has the bodyshop tempered the part bevor finish and paint? have you check the fit than again?
if not thats the problem...

some fiberglas parts change a little bit there shape during the first few tempering phases...

if you want more explanation let us write in german via mail or the elferteam.de Forum - ist much easier for me :(

Hi Tom

No, bumper is on the car since 2011. I had a lot of work to fit it well, but in the end it was fine.

More about in my thread here:

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/911-930-turbo-super-charging-forum/555993-help-iroc-rear-bumper-do-you-suggest.html

Reason now is that flares have been removed, most of the back tub replaced (see earlier in this thread). Simply said the flares are not in same position now. Bumper is within same measurements than before, the car not...

Here pics of 2011, no comparison to now:(

Well we all agree on some things ... :eek:

By the way what size are your rear tires ?

Kozmo

How many boats do you see in the picture? Was that done intentionally? I feel like a pervert now. I will have to go to confession.

[QUOTE=Kozmo930;8099973] Kozmo

Rears are 255/40-17 on 10"

Hmmm at least 100 Ave Marias in your case:D

Spent some time on the lathe to lighten screws for hood hinges etc...

Each bolt weighted before 14gr, now 8gr

http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1402581310.jpg

:)

what metal for these fasteners...? looks like either stainless or titanium...very nice...if titanium, what bit material are you using on your lath...?
thx & keep up the great work...

I use A2-70 and A4-80 machined with common hardmetal (carbide I guess in english) plates. like them because I can use for all material and they cut quit nice even in tough material and they are cheap. So no worry about lifespan

Titan is in most cases (same as cf instead of fg) not worth the price, at least for me

BTW drilling is the issue here, as SS is damn bad to drill in little diameters, HSS is not strong enough for more than one row. Used Titan nitraded ones, but they thend to break very easy, brittle like hell
Of course this is only an issue at home with lower rpm's and only spray cooling

While other things don't come like wished and need excessive effort, I fitted the front fenders. Now it starts looking like a car more and more:)

Proffighter, I absolutely love the color of the car. I enjoy reading and watching your madness on this car. Anticipating more progress in your posts, and then the end result of your work. Very cool.

Very impressive that you can work in such a "tight" garage :)

Very exciting to see all this fine progress :)
