Lots of new fabrication, updating the AMAC chassis to the last revision and adding some outside cockpit bars for protection. Will be putting some super high density foam slices between the cockpit channel and the new chrome moly tubes as well as on the outside of those tubes. Some added protection for hill climbs.
A bunch of work also done in the engine compartment and framing for the differential. Now have to start the reassembly process. First step is to refinish the aluminum panels that will be (steel riveted) on. In some cases the panels will be epoxied and riveted. The process I figured out for refinishing the aluminum works really well. Will post some pictures later. Attached image(s) |

You should try and make Larison Rock in Oakridge Or, as this year will be the 30th anniversary. If you do any SCCA national auto-x events you may be familiar with Bonnie Mueller who hosts this event and has threatened for it to be her last time...(in a joking way).
I've done all the hills on the NHA calendar with the exception of Hoopa and this is the funnest group of people and best run event in my opinion. Also far more technical than Cascade Lakes and none of the goofy cone chicanes. 23 turns, 1.9 mi and 1000 ft of elevation will keep you coming back to try and improve year after year. The Seattle Porsche Contingent (as we have been called) are planning on attending with 5 cars including 3 914's. Hope to see you there- the tentative NHA 2017 schedule is out btw. Andrew |

Andrew Hi Andrew, Yes, I've heard good things about Larison Rock. Definitely on the ticket; just have to get the car done. Glad to see that 914's are being represented. Sure would like to have run Larison in 222, but it'll be the DSR now. |
