Oof! Not sure i'm up for spending £200 to change the reservoir colour, i think i could just tidy that up by plastic priming it and painting it really.

Been busy lately but some minor progress, intake now finished and plenum /throttle body detailed...

Ooh, controversial....

Yeah, the thread has been far too quiet, if that doesn't rattle a cage or two nothing will

Thanks, it's quite a bit lighter than the original 2.5.

Early 911 driving experience then as it will be heavy on the ass side.

If you think 20kgs will result in an unbalanced car then you're not thinking straight.

That could easily be replicated by having a full or empty fuel tank, a fat bloke driving compared to a skinny one, carrying passengers or a boot full of shopping.... all of these variables don't mean an unbalanced car compared to stock so why would my slightly lighter engine?

Ok so for you quite a bit is 20kilo, i was under the impression you're saying its more like 80kilos as i would say thats quite a bit.
20kilos is having a morning fart while yawning after a piss...and as you reckoned it wont matter at all.

Cool project BTW.

Cheers ! :toothy7:
