Spent a few hours shedding unwanted pounds...

Post by Lightweight_911 »

Had a productive day - spent time removing some unwanted weight from my 2.8 twin-plug 911.

This is the air conditioning system:

& these are the front-mounted stereo amps & mixer:

All in all about 100 lbs in weight saved & a significant improvement in accessibility on the righthand side of the engine compartment.

Do you want to donate the amps to the Dyno disco bus? :lol: I can get the boogie down in a big way in the local Tesco's... may need underfloor lighting and a glitterball for full effect.

I'll pay you 10% commission on every booking I get.

:lol:
