Hello my 914 friends:
I was wondering if anyone knew the whereabouts of this 914 race car. It was built and raced by Altman racing the same people that built the Pontiac Racing GTU Fiero’s. As you can tell from the photos this 914 is very well built, the pictures are from Sebring 1987. In the mid 1990’s it came up for sale and at that time it was in Puerto Rico, it came with a lot of spares and two engines back then they were asking $20,000 (I wish I had $20,000 back then to spare) I know that ZOT’s Racing was interested in making it into a open-top IMSA/SportsCars racer, a rule and direction that endurance racing was going in at that time. Nothing happened and the car as far as I know fell of the map. I have no information on Altman Racing it wouild be great to get soem of there photos and history on this car. If anyone knows or has any more photos, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks Quilmes Attached thumbnail(s) |

sorry for steering this topic off track.
but there are aout 10 colorado 4cylinder cars running that electric fan with VERY good results. AJRS runs them on all his top cars. His 2.2L/4 gt5 pca car is one of the fastest gt5s at any event. Ask Brad, but I think they ran AJ's car at a club race against Rich's SCCA car... (my memory sucks and I wasn't there, but it was 5 or more seconds a lapper quicker) of course its AJ's package and 400cc's that make his car quick... not just the fan. But I know he was telling me that his motor was 3+ seasons old and tired, yet producing about 205hp. He has a couple of extra cooling tricks too, but the fan can be made to work. |
