Would you need engine tin on a track car? Or is that something that is only really needed on a street vehicle?

I am sure you could argue either way but most race 914's I have seen here on the east coast have no shroud on the motor. I am sure they use the smaller tin to direct flow on the motor itself but otherwise you can see asphalt under most of them.
Alot has to do with being able to access the motor real quick when you need to. I still run mine but will probably get rid of it soon. One downside is the compartment gets real dirty real fast. Attached image(s) |
