Yeah, but still not a heavy car in the scheme of things. You've inspired me to run my G50 3.2 over a weighbridge on the next fuel fill. I'll post my number for comparison.

Not by a little but a lot! Would you believe 1325kg fully wet! tomo, Stockydude and Raven 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you believe 1325kg fully wet! Interesting. I suppose my car has fibreglass front and rear bumpers, not the heavy impacts, as well as FG front guards and rear deck lid. It also has lightweight buckets, where I assume you probably have electric seats which weight quite a lot. Still that is quite a difference.

Peter M Posted 20September, 2022 Report Share Posted 20September, 2022 Plus sunroof, two windscreen washer bottles, stereo and speakers, spare wheel, whaletail and maybe 15 or 20kg of additional sound deadener. All offset by a slightly lighter than stock exhaust! MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true, but ballpark with a bit of fudge would give a comparison. Not worried about accuracy. Just interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have driven on track with plenty of other 911's and my car is quicker than any stockish 3.2 I have come against by a margin. The 3.6 swapped early cars blow my doors off though. So I am somewhere in the middle My last recorded Hp to the wheels was roughly 200hp, so I have a hp/kg of 0.1724 I am planning on heading to the dyno again in a couple of months so I will see if the exhaust has actually made power or if it just feels like it has Yeatesy, Stockydude, Raven and 1 other 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wobbly Posted 5December, 2022 Report Share Posted 5December, 2022 Hi Jeff - quick Q for you: how happy are you with the sound deadening and would you do it any differently if done again? I saw in you Alfa build you added more of the butyl rubber mat to the firewall. I’ll be starting on that myself in the not too distant future so figuring on completely covering the rear firewall on the 911 and doing patches elsewhere. But any other tips or ideas would be welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFX Posted 5December, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 5December, 2022 My sound deadening in Harry is very good. I don't get any road noise. It is now mostly my intake noise. Wobbly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought their materials were good quality too. (2) Car Builders - Sound & Heat - YouTube Wobbly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFX Posted 14December, 2022 Author Report Share Posted 14December, 2022 I had an amazing time in the Adelaide Rally, until Harry started having problems and I had to pull out. Then I had to worry about making the 1300km drive home. Shedpest, Stockydude and tomo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
