I was talking with a 914 owner about engines and the cost-benefit of a Subaru swap. This person is looking to build a street-legal car that will serve for track duty. But AFAIK, PCA has restrictions on non-Porsche engine participation.
So, since I know most of you all are far more familiar with the regulations and options than I am, I'm looking for information on what sorts of restrictions does PCA place on non-Porsche engine swaps? What other options for track days are available (nationally, but SF Bay Area specifically)? Is building a non-PCA-legal car a shot in the foot? Or is PCA somewhat irrelevant because of availability of other options? What are your thoughts here? And I'm looking specifically at track days, and not autocrosses, but I'm interested in learning about AX info as well. |

PCA Mission
The Porsche has no equal, and since 1955, the Porsche Club of America has catered to the particular needs and interests of the Porsche owner. Our main mission is to heighten the Porsche owning and driving experience, which we accomplish by meeting a number of objectives: To promote the highest standards of courtesy and safety on the roads. To enjoy and share good will and fellowship engendered by owning a Porsche. To maintain the highest standards of operation and performance of the marque. To establish mutually beneficial relationships with the Porsche factory, dealers and other service sources. To exchange ideas with other Porsche Clubs throughout the world. To establish mutually cooperative relationships with other sports car clubs. ...no where do I read acceptting and promoting of non Porsche power plants as part of PCA mission? If fact acceptance of VW and subie power plants is in direct conflict with "To maintain the highest standards of operation and performance of the marque". But I'm ready just in case!
