Couldn't resist a father and son project, so for my son's 15th I reeled in this beauty from Livermore Ca. It's a 1974 2.0 daily driver in good shape, pretty much all stock. We will start tearing into it next week, and basically be building it to POC 914cup specs. By age 16 , all should be rolling at Willow Springs with DE and dedicated track time --keeping Jr's focus off of street racing.
I'll post up some progress pics over the next few months (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) For now- the AD link My Webpage Marty & Matt |

I'd like to know what Cup Spec is, and then I'd like to have a list of all the parts coming off, and I also call DIBS on that pile! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)
I saw a 994 with a blower at my mechanic's today, it was so tiny... and it would fit. Thought of you.... and those peach bell bottom slacks.. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif) M |

The listing was recent, and I couldn't resist. I was really impressed by Matt's choice of vehicles - for his first driver , a 914 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
We went thru all sorts of scenarios on imports (ie-rice), muscle, new, etc. and it was 914 ! The mods for Cup are pretty liveable for street driving- do a search on the forum for 914 cup. The mods basically handicap you from zero (stock 1.7) to mucho , as in a heavilly modded 914 say like a 3.6 or a forced induction, big fendered , big slicks, LSD trans. You compete with other POC 914cup members for points in Time trials, I don't think there is fender to fender racing- but I'll do some more digging. The car will more than likely get a future six transplant as the learning curve of track driving progresses. Bell Bottom driving suits - there's a concept (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) Marty , 36 years after Woodstock (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif) |

I skiped the 6... lol Glad to see another father son project!! First year with dad and my car was great, Dad showed me a bunch!! Second year I did most of the work (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Third year, were just playing around now... lol |

The seller ( mad props!) was not up for changing out the wheels for the fuchs- so we got some other extra items thrown in . What are those 4 spoke wheels called anyway ? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) Prolly going to 5 lug Fuchs(street) and 5 lug steelies w/ race rubber for DE days.

a couple of little things finished up on the project car:
front valence w/ inlet grille for oil cooler. The item came from PerfProd, and we cut the inlet and added the mesh. The fit and finish was actually pretty good--for cheap fiberglass (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Marty Attached image(s) |

...got the rear valence painted , and the "Rescued" bursch extractor w/ new magnaflow muffler Xtreme- ceramic coated . The flashy silver gets evil stares from the ricer crowd (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/happy11.gif)

...nuther pic of the new style side exit magnaflow muffler. The exhaust comes right out the r/rear valence, 2.250" od tube.
