That's not a spider.... its a .... a..... a boxster

Same rod...but stronger? How? Because no more oil hole on the small end?

Joe Beninca has lightened rear flywheel. He thinks a lightened rear flywheel will have more effect.

Here's a sad pic of my car. it needs a new coat of paint and the wheels cleaned

Jarle, we can discuss the system here.

Is it due to the porosity of the cast iron?

The centrifugal force just pulls it apart?

Why not just skim the outside a little and take off maybe 20% of the weight?

Actually I wonder, if the car makes boost, and you feed the boost into the dissy's vacuum port, won't that make it a boost retard port instead of a vacuum advance port?

Glenn,

The 17" are only for looks


Jarle,

Yeah I have SMC 1.91 with Autotune. My ignition timing peaks at 25 degrees BTDC at around 3500 rpm. Haven't dyno tune it yet. I have the Autronic lambda meter as well.

What's the spec of your new engine?

Hi, Is your engine using the fuel injection from the Milano (Jetronic) or 164 (Motronic) ? If Motronic, you can go for a chip. If L-Jetronic, you should upgrade to megasquirt like many other GTV6 3.0 owners here, and then dyno tune it. You cannot "chip" a Jetronic. You can just use 17"...

Greg,

Is it part of the kit?

Greg,

Did you mention something about an auto ignition retard mechanism for your car when on boost? If you did, can you elaborate more on it?

Looks good. Post more pics in the introduce yourself section please!!!

Question. Is this for a race car with a cage?

If it is not, IMHO, the 116/161 doesn't exactly have a stiff chassis. How would a stiff suspension be that effective?

I haven't carried the rear brakes from the 75 for a long time. HEAVY! Compared to the wilwoods which weigh about 2 lbs? The Rear calipers weigh an easy 8-10 lbs.

But still, for cost reasons, sliding calipers are the way to go.

BTW, Barry, what about hand brakes?

I bought my wilwoods from pitstopusa. No complaints.
