So, there are some big changes coming in E-production (SCCA) to "equalize" the competition. In 2005, the 914-4 2.0L runs at 1870 pounds with driver.
Is anyone thinking of switching from FP to EP and using a 2.0L now that the 914 has lost 50 pounds? As you may have guessed, I'm considering it. Since I have 2-2.0L engines and no 1.8s, I'll be starting in EP anyway. But, I'm on the 4-year plan to get competitive (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif) , so it really doesn't matter immediately. I know they used to be competitive in EP. Anyway, there have been some posts about the horsepower a FP 1.8 can make. Any thoughts on a 2.0L? |

All very valid points. Thanks.
I've been running in IT for a number of years and have picked up a few things along the way. I have run the 914 front suspension in a simulation and have opted to relocate the pick-up points to optimize roll center changes throughout the range of motion (it helps that I work at an OEM......). I also plan on making the inboard points moveable so I can change the roll center to aid in development or alter the height of the roll center for wet conditions. As for driver.... you're right. Eventually, to take this all the way, I may have to yield the seat for the Runoffs. OK by me. |
