Too big to fail
|
Church of Speed and Light (Weight) Home Page
I've collated Randy's data, Jim Calzia's page, an engine chart I'd lifted from the Paul Weir site before it bit the dust, and my Power:Weight chart.
Enjoy. http://rennlight.com If anyone has charts they want to add, let me know. (edit: updated URL)

Type 930/16 has 34mm intake ports. Tom |

Whatever happened to Paul Weir?
They had a cool website when I was in college and now I can't find them anywhere.

Paul Weir went out of biz a couple years ago. The site was abandoned when I macked the engine list - I should have grabbed some of the other cool pix and stuff.

Yeah, they had all those great pictures of engines with different problems.
Hey, Thom, do you still have that Hirschman antenna for sale?

The Way Back Machine has the Paul Weir site at various stages in history:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://paulweir.com I clicked through a few of the pages - some pictures are there some are just broken links. FWIW. BR, Kurt Edit: Sorry, I didn't realize that some of the later links take one to adult sites! Last edited by kstar; 12-04-2004 at 11:50 AM.. |

He's still selling race parts on EBay - what else I don't know.
Anybody know why he went out of business? Was he good at the mechanical stuff but a business dreamer? Or not good at the mechanical stuff?

~66kg of non rotating mass are roughly equivalant to ~10hp on average.

Thanks Craig. But Thom already has links set to go to Jim's web pages.
Also, the Word table I made up compares Jim's car and Grant G's "Carbon Copy" car to some notable factory light weight models. I think people will find it interesting to see what was done during what decade. If anyone has accurate wts. for any items that are not in the tables, post them (and how you weighed them) and I will incorporate them into the next iteration of this. I'm hoping to make this a yearly event. I'm also toying with the idea of putting up a table of "things that don't matter" such as drilling hood hinges, deleting badges, trim, and glove box doors, etc. Also, I'm interested in figuring out where all the wt. in the car comes from: tub, engine, suspension, seats, etc. Could make an interesting pie chart.

Some day I'll add those numbers to my weight table so everything will be in one place. Some day.
