"Mike. As the new owner of one of these rare cars may I ask you a couple of questions ?
I have read in a Porsche book that the Carrera has "lightweight trim", "black felt trim" or somesuch.
(Or is that just the Carrera GTS ? Can any 924 expert comment ?)
In my area of motorsport I am only allowed to make certain changes.
MSA rule reads :- "Any car which has been improved within the manufacturers specification for the range will be considered as Production."
As I intend lightening the car as much as possible it would be interesting to know the details of lightweight or even discarded trim ( rear seats ?).
I am 99% sure that I can use plastic side windows and rear hatch.
Thanks. "
Hey muddy - I have moved your question to here as I am embarassed as each time my original post goes to the top - and then people think I am buying some mid engined waste of design.
My knowledge of the 924, Carrera or the exquiste GTR and GTS is approaching zero - so I cannot comment.
Maybe some of the other people here in watercooler land can help?
I am willing for us to hook up and you can crawl all over it if you like.
I bought it on the general design principals and a recommendation of people whom I trust.
I am trying to get knowledge on the thing and so from this small amount of knowledge I have gained and looking at it, I do not think the carpets are especially light weight. Not like the carpets in an original '73 RS Leichtbau.
Using this inetrnetwebby thing I have come up with this site which has a nice GTR.

Another Carrera GT owner has kindly contacted me and he might know better.
I had come to this forum expecting a hot technical discussion place so I could ask these sort of questions. But sadly most of it appears to be populated by people worried about their rear light colours - aggg I am going to be sick!!
If it had been a VW Beetle I could have answered you chapter and verse and if we had been logged onto Volkszone and I had got a valve size out by 1 mm or the incorrect size of an emulsion jet in a 40IDF there would have been hoots of derision. There is a lot of knowledge there.
