Gotta do the dance first (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Just got the green light from the wife to purchase new rims and tires for the 914, now the tough decision will be 15, 16 or 17 inch rims and tires....I'm leaning towards the 15's since more tire choices are available and after my last little fender bender with the 17" rims on the C2, I obviously cannot tell when my tires are low on air (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Decisions, decisions (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

QUOTE(Bleyseng @ Apr 3 2003, 10:43 PM) I thought they were frowned on in PCA AX's, to have a non-orginal shape to the wheelwells. They look really nice to me. Those ricer rims are a dime a dozen and that's why the rice guys look at the Fuchs! They are soo classy looking compared to the others. Mike, put on whatever you think looks good. I was just commenting because I have seen 'em on a few cars. Geoff Geoff, I liked the fender treatment the first time I saw it when the PO raised the garage door (plus behind the fender was the stack of 16" Fuchs with slicks mounted (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) ). I've heard that about altered fender wells. I'm running in my local SCCA AX (CSP) and they don't sweat the small stuff like that. But it's fierce competition. I'm workin' it real hard. About everyother PCA AX I run just for fun (on street tires - gotta save the Hoosiers for scca). They only designate two classes: street tires and other. These guys are really laid back. They just want to have fun! And these PCA events are held on a sheriffs pursuit driving range - loops and loops of 2-lane blacktop. No friggin' parking lot here. We're talking about a way narrowere course than a typical race track. First time I attended, on the first practice run of the day , I watched a guy total his 963. I see FOURTH gear all the time. If I'm doing 70mph plus, what the hell are the big porsches doing? Of course, what's really fun is anytime you beat a 911 on what is obviously a HP course. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) It's a great venue and I feel real lucky to be a part of it. Oops.....kinda strayed off..... L8Apex, sorry to hear about your teener. |
