This is a RAT 200HP turn key in action in a 914. The engine was our 2.4L AX special, making all it's power by 6,500 RPM.. It runs stock cooling too!
Listen to that beast!! He ended up taking top time of the day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y13C3v2L788&feature=user And this is the same car on the track at a DE.. Watch all those water pumpers get their doors blasted!!! (this video was posted a couple weeks ago here, just a comparison to how an engine can be "Dual purpose") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uFRrbjy_pM&feature=user Posting anything on forums other than my own opens up doors for people to deem something "advertisement".. Well this video is worth the blame and any flames that may arise from them.. I stand ready. Safety off. :-) This post has been edited by Jake Raby: May 19 2008, 12:37 PM |

Hi Guys. I thought I'd take this opportunity to introduce myself. This is my first post (anywhere), so forgive me if I violate some etiquette (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) or something.
This is my 914 with a motor I bought from Jake. I'm not a highly experienced driver, but I'm learning. I've had the car almost 1 1/2 years. It's taken a while to get used to the 914, but I love how it handles now that I used to it. The car was pretty well set up when I bought it. The front suspension is from a 911SC, and the rear is lowered with stiffer springs. I haven't messed with the setup since buying the car. But I installed Jakes motor around Christmas. It's awesome. The track video was the first track day I drove the car with the new motor. I was freaked out a bit since with the old motor I was just topping 4th gear at the end of the strait, and now hitting 5th. I was a bit worried about loosing the breaks, so I was letting off and turning in early. I'm sure as I get used to it and gain confidence in the car that I will drive better. Our club has 4 run groups, and if 1 was the slowest and 4 the fastest, I am in 3 (intermediate). I've enjoyed reading your posts and look forward to talking to you all (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Later... |
