Back in the Dark Ages when I was a lad we found that the old Holden HR ute would handle heaps better if there was a hay bale in the back.

The only thing we knew about weight distribution back then was never give a lift to a fat chick if you wanted to set a good time between Katoomba and Lithgow.

Bahhh hahahaha thats awesome

Early 911s had weight built into the front bumper bar to help with their atrocious handling.

Really,that bad handling must have helped them win winter rallies (ever heard of the Monte Carlo) and road races all around the world,france ,germany ,mexico etc,do research before making these statements.

he's meaning in the 60's..
from '64 they put about 10kg's of cast iron in the corners of the front bumper to keep the front from lifting at speed and to improve the handling. In '67 they replace the single battery with twin batteries, and put them in the same spot as the weights, thus removing the cast iron blobs. the twin batteries were to help moving the volume of the oil in the oil cooling system.

emphasis on the "Early" 911's
great info i didnt know about this kind of thing until recently, cheers
every day is a day to learn right "watercooled"

They put weights in hot air balloons , ships and tractors I don't see them wining many rallies to say Porsches have "atrocious" handling is a bit silly it's not like anyone ever really crashed one is it !!!! Erm

Finally … Its Started after a bummed ECU, Actually i think United Motorsports in the UK had something to do with that!!
Then i was left to tracking another one down, and (Julian Jones) here in Sydney did the ECU properly and we got ignition!
Any one need an ECU done here is his number 0405808488 also as a mechanic the guy has sorted out ALOT of project cars
for people and is great at solving headaches!

Got the smile off your face yet?

[HaydEn]

There is no way that grin is leaving.

Congratu****inglations

[SpeciP3]

F@rk yeah man! That's awesome, this beast will be ripping it up in next to no time

[Preen59]

Woo! Awesome stuff.

Nice project! What sort of $ did the ECU tweaks run for you?

I have an R32 ECU (+engine, keys and instruments) here for my mk2 but was pondering standalone ECU as I hadn't realised that there were people here that could work on them.
What did you have done? Was it just immobiliser removal?
Have had the silent treatment from UM since before Christmas, so not keen to ship to the UK.

Hi Mate contact Julian Jones ph 0405808488

IMO removal on MK5 R32 ECU he can take care of any ecu.
he recently did one of the 1.4 twin charged engines as well
so he's doing all the new stuff which others seem to have trouble with

after its done you won't need keys and instruments etc just plug it in and fire it up
soooooo good ha ha I'm so relieved to have it sorted!

yea posting to the UK cost me my first ecu the damn fool would not even email me a backup of my ecu so it could be put
back to OEM…. United Motorsport's basically took my money and ran...
