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?

So what class do you want to run in?
More likely XP

Are you still interested in driving the car on the street?
Yes, It must do both street & AX Sorry Ed I can't make it this weekend.

If you go to the 6 would you be running slicks for autoX. Meaning 205/225 front / rear respectively equivalents in slicks? Are you also willing to upgrade the suspension?
Yes.

Britain, I'm not ready to make the jump just yet. I need to make sure my J O B is still here next year once the Motorola / Nokia Siemens Networks buy out is completed.

Thanks for the input guys.
