http://www.youtube.com/user/byndbad914?feature=mhee The latest track day adventure. Had a couple friends out and was going to split the first session of the day giving them both a quick ride while I warmed up the tires... turns out to not be the case but also get to learn a new lesson. |

I have all the parts I need to get it back together so I hope to get a couple more track days in with it. I did get all the 2x3 rectangle tube last Friday to start the Nova frame so will be working both in parallel for a bit. I bought a new, complete wiring harness for the Nova as well, so I will be leaving all the wiring in the 914 and may just build new suspension uppers and have the lowers cut out again, I still have the solid model, so I might leave it as a roller, no shocks. We will see, wouldn't be that hard to drop parts in it again at a later date and track it.
edit - was thinking about it as well and considering I have ran the car pretty consistently the past few years, other than the transaxle BS I dealt with Mendeola, this is the first track failure I have had that put the car on the trailer in quite some time so I really can't complain (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
