But I also have to make sure the car does not get to light as that will push me into the same class as the 997 Cup cars and then I will have no chance :rolleyes:

What are you weighing in at? I saw the pics on facebook, roll cage looks fantastic.

Currently it is 1140kg dry. Factory hard top etc does not help :(

I would like to replace most of the body panels with fiberglass, but the cost is a bit to high for me at the moment. Getting the parts shipped to me in Finland is very expensive, and there is not much available used!

I think getting under 1000kg is hard with a Boxster. SVP have one racing car they have built which has had the shell acid dipped to remove all the rubber stuff from under the car etc, and that is siting at 1030kg. But like I said, would be cool to manage to get under 1000kg one day :)

I was thinking about doing this but never found one that lined up perfectly. There always seemed to be a fit issue.
