![]() Mostly a 1995+ 2nd generation motor problem. Something the factory is VERY aware of. Get a 1st generation 6-bolt to reduce the likelihood of that problem. Stronger bottom end too.

Nope. Only saw a picture once when a topic like this came up. Might have been an eBay post.
I only know a little about my 911 and a little about my Laser. Put the two together and I haven't a clue. ![]()

There are a couple ways of looking at it though- purism and potentialism.
The more the cars are changed around, the more rare and valuable the stock-configurations will be, but the historical signifigance and community numbers to maintain public interest in the model will be lost. Example: gradually the Model A community all decide that lowering the chassis, installing rollcages, and putting 295's on is the norm. Result is the 10 people in the world that didn't hack them apart have cars worth millions(to those that will buy them), but nobody really cares, and the history is lost. On the other hand, F# history because the Model A chassis is super lightweight and has track potential. The factory itself has changed/bastardized configurations endlessly. What's holding up progress?

Thanks, Dan" If the engine crankshaft is in the center of the clutch (like a 911) one could assume the sump is all below that making the CG potentially lower than a 911 engine . ![]() |
