The way I am setting my car up, it is mainly for the street, and I am playing with it like a 1:1 model kit.
It is going to be mostly stock, with the exception of a 2056 engine and a European Racing header.
I'm not building an AX demon, but if i went to some for fun with this car, what would I get put into. Its something that I want to be able to do. Am I putting myself into a realm where I will never be competitive?

Sounds like we are in the same position. I have a 2056 and a few other mods which puts us out of stock classes for SCCA. You can still have a good time and be competitive. I improve myself a bit at each event and tweak the car in between. I just added a 22mm front sway and 175 lb adjustable coil overs in the rear. The car feels much better an I am looking forward to the next event.
Sign up as a novice and try it out. Warning, it may be addictive.
Yea a 2056cc puts you in Street Mod and can be quite a fast class.
But I do this to feed the speed junkie in me. X Prepared is even faster.
We have taken fast time of the day in both classes several times and it was due a lot in part to the driver.
Go for it! I beat Boxters, Caymans, and 911s in my 1.7!

AX is soooo much about driving skillz. Having a kick ass car helps to win but don't let a slow car slow YOU down from racing fast.
I had a lot of fun being competitive with another 914, we were always <1 sec away. Then he got DOT-R racing tires and now he is 2-3 secs faster. I should be able to budget that next year!
If anything is worth saying, just keep that engine oil circulating or that could mean a rebuild. A local bro recently said, " them damn Rabi engine cars kept flying by me and I coulden't keep up", he raced with a 3L six.
The TTOD at Parade this year was a four cylinder 914.
