apparently the saudi-arabia-spec 944s had a euro-style bumper but it was made from aluminum. i've only ever seen 2 such cars in the US and both owners said the same thing.

The tubular 85 - 86 headers will crack. Replaced on my 85.5 with a cast header as cost of newer header was exorbitant. I occasionally wonder if the flow and heat transfer characteristics of the tubular is any better than cast, but the car is a beater (automatic dd) anyway. (tubular sounded better)

Weighed mine today...14 pounds! Will be replacing it with non insulated carpet. Pics to follow.

For posterity..

A complete rear hatch (all glass, with frame and rubber wing and hinges) is 52 lbs.
...not 80 as is claimed on the "lighter parts" company's website.

A bare early dashboard weighs less than 7 lbs.

yup - gotta be wary about that stuff. it's like one company that lists a carbon fiber hood for the 968. sure, it's got carbon fiber, but it's lain over fiberglass. gotta look deeper into some of that stuff.

968 Mirrors are significantly lighter

968 Mirrors are significantly lighter. My car is now another 3.7lbs (1.700g) lighter + improved center of gravity.;)
