Eco friendly porsche
Discussion
I do about 5000km a year, at 300g/km thats about 1.5 tonnes of CO2/year.
A tree absorbs about 7kg/year so i need 214 trees to "offset" my car use. Now, i've not got enough space for that many so thats out. Importantly i discovered a human breaths out 310kg CO2/year. Which means your average malnourished vegetarian eco hippie probably breaths out about 250kg CO2/year, excluding the shite they talk.
In conclusion, to completely offset a 964rs carbon emissions for a year and sleep with a clear conscience one only needs to seal 6 socialists in an airtight hemp box.
Some bearded women emitting 9 tonnes of carbon a year

Saw the link from the enviroMENTAList thread in P&P. Awesome. Where do I sign up and how do I de-cat my E30?

E30. finally.... no more french sh1t boxes!
standard procedure would be to roll the car over to allow easy access to the exhaust. usually in a workshop but brunchen 1 is fine too if you prefer
Now who would do a thing like that? Too easy.
Now why don't I try to loosen it up by smashing the right rear side in at B2?

Can't you decat it and put a few more in
Since the cat converts exhaust gasses to CO2 you'd be reducing CO2 emissions by removing it.

I knew there was a green reason why I removed mine
Btw all for the locking the greenies in a box, can we float it off to america then please.
Here's an off-the-wall idea for you all. The likes of the Venturi Fetish and the Tesla Roadster are little chinks in the enviro-terrorists' armour that electric vehicles have to be tedious milkfloats or public transport to control everyone's freedom to travel.
Now if there's a candidate for an electric powered supercar, the 911 is it. The issue being the heavy engine out back needing 40-odd years of engineering genius to make a great handling car.
How about a nice 150 kilowatt electric motor for each wheel. The knowledge and experience Porsche have with the proper 911s could be put to good use allowing air-cooling of the battery and power control electronics, reducing points of failure. The batteries can be spread out around the chassis of the car, allowing whatever weight distribution Porsche feel is appropriate. The electric motors can be used via regenerative braking to reduce the size and weight of the brake calipers, reducing unsprung weight and potentially removing the need for the expensive and failure-prone PCCBs
A car weighing around the mass of the GT3 with 4 150kW motors would be 'kin quick, believe me. Transmission weight would be reduced as you sure as hell wouldn't need 6 gears.
See, all pluses! All you need is a bunch of MP3s of '73 RS, 9m's 993 RS racer, the Carrera GT and perhaps a Hemi V8 just to confuse people
Can't imagine a 911 without the glorious noise!
