914World.com _ 914World Garage _ I'm Back!

Posted by: carr914 Apr 20 2013, 01:10 PM

I bought this 914 in 07 or 08 (from hars914) in New Jersey. It was built by Rich Johnson (a914guy) a long time ago

I traded it to the guy that was working on my 914-6GT. I tried to buy it back a few times with no luck. He finally decided to sell and now it's back in the Carr Garage

Thanks to Paul (URY914) for his help, Truck & Trailer to get it back to Tampa today.

I hope this will be a Short Build as the Body work is done & it has ZERO Rust. The Full Cage & body strengthening are done. I have a 2.8 Twin-Plug 300+HP Engine ready to go in and probably have 90% of the Parts to put it together

Back in 07

But when I 1st got it in NJ, was a Heck of a Trick. Temps in the low Teens, had a Cold-Air Intake on the Truck which was forcing super cold air into the motor which then didn't want to run, pulling a trailer in the Snow & Ice! Dang!

Looks like santa_smiley.gif came early TC You can give URY a run for his money in the hp/weight category with that 2.8 what are your plans track or street?


I'm looking forward to URY & I resuming our Domination of the Local A/X Scene. He will have me on weight ( But this car is no heavyweight) & I will have the HP.

I will be doing A/X, PCA Track events and terrorizing the Neighborhood on the Street driving.gif

Trans? - the car was supposed to come with a Tranny ( of unknown origins), but I may negotiate that out and go with a known rebuilt Dr Evil 901/RennShift Combo. I like 901's and they are Cheap - if you know how to shift them, DoubleClutch, Heel&Toe, you are OK. I have tried Shorten Gears before & that is fine at A/X, but they kill me on the Track at Sebring. Will probably just live with Stock Gears.

Colors - I'm only thinking of 2;

One would be Tangerine (the car was Originally Tangerine) & a Clone of a Brumos Car - the one Paul Newman Wrecked (Bob Snodgrass & I were Good Friends). but there are a lot of Tangerine Brumos Cars (Real & Clone) out there!

Frustrating headbang.gif I've had so many Deals fall through (No Money, No Shows, Low-Balls, the last guy after he said was going to buy it, said he didn't like the Color)

A problem did come up with the Mileage that scared a few people off, but we came up with the Answer today. The Guages were ReBuilt 18 Years ago at 94,000, 10 Years ago the Mileage was 95,000, 8 Years ago the NM DMV Recorded the Mileage at 99,000 - the Car showed 96,500 when I bought it and shows 98,800 a Year later. What seems logical is that 8 Years ago at Registration the Car reached an age where the Odo was Exempt, they wrote in 99k and so it mis-leads everyone. Let's face it, I know the car had sat for a lot of years and runs Great and if someone was going to play Shenanigans with the Odo, they wouldn't Re-Set it back 4,000 Miles they would set it back 40,000!

Posted by: gms Apr 22 2013, 06:14 PM

I understand the significances of Brumos but I personally prefer to have a different look that sets me apart. That being said if you have 914.043.0315 or 914.043.0705 then you have to do the Brumos livery.

either way just get out there and race

For a guy who has "never left the Porsche scene", you certainly arrive back with a "bust of excitement and a great bust of fanfare". The project is great and it seems you have it well underhand including usingup parts from your parts bin.

Welcome back to the Porsche scene. Will follow this project with great interest.

I vote for the Brumos configuration. Great looking no matter how many have been done.

To be safe have the wheelwell lips rolled before being painted. Did you decide on a color ?

Nope, he is a 1/2 Hour away and I want to let him do his thing - the New Rear Spoiler was due to arrive today, Roger Sheridan Rocks - the 1st one came warped (probably pulled out of the Mold to soon), he made a New One ASAP and sent it out N/C

Paint Pictures Soon!

Found that front spoiler- Patrick. Are you going to flare the ends to match the fenders?

If you plan to run this in autox, along with Paul, how will you get your car there?

Does paul have a trailer that can take two cars at a time?

Sucks that guy didn't tape off the stuff that he easily could have. Not that you really care on a racecar, but with the amount of time he had it, you'd have thought he would. confused24.gif

Looking forward to helping you get it back together buddy.

He was adament about not wanting to paint the interior of the car (something about the dust it would put every else confused24.gif ) even though he shot the engine compartment & both Trunks. Oh well, I have a plan for that. I'm very pleased with the Paint, especially the price

Posted by: bcheney Sep 5 2013, 05:57 AM

I know you have a plan...However, I think you should consider picking up some more paint to match....mask and paper the car off...and paint the interior!

Posted by: carr914 Sep 5 2013, 06:04 AM

Yes I have a Plan - The Jams are Painted as are the Interior of the Doors. The Floors & Fire Wall will be Line-X so it will be durable & have a grit non-slip surface

I also have a Plan for the Cage, even though a good section of that is already yellow & will covered with Roll-Bar Padding

Posted by: r_towle Sep 5 2013, 06:08 AM

Still looking for a plow truck for this year if you are looking to sell it.
Seems setup perfectly so it may be just right with the proper splitter on it.

The clearance will help also.

Yep, but this was this was the 1st Garage Casualty - it fell while the car was going up on the lift & chipped a Corner. No Biggie!

I'm thinking about cutting 2 Sections from that 1st Spoiler & making Taller Extensions, like this;

see if you can find that write up the professor did on aerodynamics.

Its about 5-6 years old on this site.
He used the 914 in a class over several years to play around with wings, roof on or off...all of that.

Might shed some light on what wing would work best.

Posted by: carr914 Sep 16 2013, 07:01 PM

My "Seat of the Pants" feel of driving 914's at speed, tells me this will be good for Sebring where the ass-end wants to lift in Turns 14 & 17 (High Speed).

The additional bits I could experiment with or at least try to compete with the Wing that blocks out the Sun - the URY Lightweight!

There are a couple of PCA DE's towards the end of the year. Sebring HSR is in Dec, so that is a maybe. Then in '14, HSR @ Sebring, PCA 48 Hours of Sebring, SVRA Sebring....
