Terry, To be perfectly honest, my favorite events are Autox schools... No I dont need the schools as i've been autoxing regularly for years.. HOWEVER you honestly get as much driving time as you want!! Last time I went I drove for a good 2.5 hours and could have kept going for another 1/2 hour if I wanted to!
I still have the 914 v8, but the v8 is going away in favor of a Audi 2.8 v6 engine and FWD transaxle. Going to swap out the dash/ a/c and all that jazz. Basically retrofit as much of the Audi into the 914 as possible so the car is comfortable to drive anywhere(Think of it as the Neo914 baby sister on a severe budget). No sense in making it a race car as its just not going to be as fun as the Audi A4. |
