One of Andrews plans this winter is to install the headers and dual exhaust on the 914-8. With rain today (again (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) ) delaying our work on the garage, we took the time to install the headers today and of course, we had to fire it up.

http://teamgracer.com/cars/videos/openheaders.wmv Tomorrow we'll have to put mufflers on it. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif) If anyone has an idea for a muffler that doesn't sound like an echo chamber, we're open to suggestions. Right now it looks like a couple of Magnaflows or Flowmasters with possibly a resonator for each tip. |

DJsReps, The 1st gear isn't nessary for smooth starts. More importantly, they are very weak and will break with the torque of the v8. The trans is still the stock 901 5sp, but we just leave 1st for moving onto autoshop racks and trailers. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Some of the builders leave 1st out of the trans and make it a true 4sp. Scott, We'll have a busy day today, but I'm sure Andrew will be putting the DB meter to use sometime today. I borrowed it from Church but I have to bring it back tomorrow when I run the sound system. More videos to follow. |
