911 Carrera RallyCross Project

2 minute(s) of a 245 minute read

We have been wondering why our Porsche came with the same size battery as our Mercedes Sprinter van for some time. This was made more intriguing by a used PC680 battery sitting on our parts shelf. Well, this week we cracked and threw the much lighter PC680 in the car spurred on by a desire to corner balance and align the car in the near future. We have used these batteries without any issues in our previous RallyCross project. We just kept that on a Battery Tender when not in use. Has never let us down. Let's see if the 911 likes it.




No surprise it is almost 30lbs lighter.




It almost looks lost in there.



Installed using a crude, cobbled together mounting bracket for now.




Ryan of Thompson Racing Fabrication, the genius who built our harness bar and skid plates is fabricating a more elegant aluminium version for us but at least we can corner balance the car now. We weren't tempted to put this in the smuggler's box like many do as our a/c blower is still in there and as it only weighs ~15lbs does it really matter where it is?

Now where did I put those scales?
