Narrow body 3.0L 6 driver & AX weapon, Would ya do it? Options

[GaroldShaffer]

So...... since I sold the old FP car that I used for AXing with a 3.0L six this spring I still have the itch for the /6.

My first thought was to maybe build another car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) That's not going to happen. Before the FP car came along I used my 70 914 for AXing. It's been setup for street & AXing and does really well I think. I LOVE my 70, but I really have the itch for a /6. My issue is that I don't want to modify the body (add flares) to it.

I'm wondering about doing a /6 conversion to it, but leaving it a narrow body car. Anyone run a narrow body /6 for AXing? I know all about the cost of doing a /6 conversion, more interested in any issues you have seen. I would think one issue is having enough tire under the car to handle the power.

your thoughts?

I had a 2.7RS motored 914-6 for 5 years...Street/AX/Track
I had narrow body and ran either 6" wheels with 205s front and rear or in the last few years ran 7" rears with 225s...
Was a great car, should have never sold it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Won 5 years of Timetrial class trophies, set several track records for class and also several years of AX first in class. Didn't AX it as much as I Timetrialed it, but it was very capable at both. Was also my daily driver during this time and I drove it to every event I ever competed in...~25 time trials, several other track events, and at least 25+ AXs during my ownership...car eventually went to a Historic racer on the east coast somewhere.
If I do another 6 it will probably be narrow bodied...I just like the lines better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
