My 914 buddy said I should solicit advice from JP Stein and Brad Roberts at least. I bought two of these great little cars, one for the wife and one for me. Mine needs to be BAD.....Looking for about 150 HP, rides like a rock, corners like a F1 car, etc. I don't want the equipment to be the limiting factor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Budget is shy of spending ALL the retirement fund. OK guys, let's see what is out there.

Even tho we're spending your money, are you sure you wanna do this to that nice pretty car? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

If you *really* want what you are asking for......well, Rob's car, for instance.

It's first trip would be over to TonyC's for a cage tied into the front & rear suspension towers & maybe some camber plates.... while it's there....couple-3K (WAG). Then you have a good basis to work from. 5 lug wheels are.....almost required as you can get better wheel selection & brakes......I just realized this list could go on forever.

Let's talk when you get back from China (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ....oh, and take some pics of the F1 show.
