Mitch,
I'm told that removing the crank driven fan & installing an electric fan
will get a few more HPs too...not that it's any lighter...aside from the
flywheel & all. I wonder how much the Nissan Diff weighs in comparison to
the TR6 diff?
It's only money

My last concern is originality or loosing concourse points. I threw that
idea out the window on day one. I am concerned about the final cosmetic
result though. I am not considering this conversion because I don't like the
rubber bumperets but in order to put the car on a diet this is a good place
to start. I already leave the spare at home & only travel with "fix-a flat"
around town, on long trips the spare comes along. A lighter battery,
Panasport racing wheels & other engine components such as headers & anything
aluminum I can substitute offer gains in acceleration as well as handling.
Although many of these changes may be small the gains seem to be real.
Does anyone have any pics they could share of a finished conversion.
