Hey Guys,
There have been some questions asked about substitution of Nickies in place of factory cylinders, both cast iron and mahle nikasils, and I'm just curious how sticktly the rules are read into- is it just that the cylinders must be to the specifications of the factory pieces (since JE's are already used in E and F prod) or do the actual factory pieces have to be retained? Can it be argued that if other aftermarket cylinders are used (Chinese, Brazilian, Mexican), can't Nickies also be used, since it isn't actually factory cylinders being used- just cylinders made to resemble and to the specifications of the original pieces? I appreciate the input guys, it would be nice to have a definative answer on this one for numerous guys out there with Nickies and those considering Nickies for their 911 or 914. |

Obviously this topic has hit a raw nerve with someone!
Apparently we have an anonymous lurker here who thinks he needs to use foolish scare tactics to try and get us to not use Nickies in our race engines. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bs.gif) This individual has a lot of testosterone and no where to store it, since it doesn't take any balls to launch anonymous attacks over the phone to people who really have nothing to do with their problem. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dhead.gif) I got an email from my engine builder describing a phone call he had this morning. The caller had his ID blocked and didn't identify himself. He immediately went into a tirade about protesting anyone who used Nickies cylinders in their engine at the Runoffs, and when Jake started to fire back he hung up. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) I've been thinking about who such a person might be and why would he lurk here. There is very little content having to do with SCCA Production racing on this forum, so it is likely that he drives a 914 in SCCA Club Racing. I doubt it is anyone I already know because they would be more likely to confront me directly at the race track. Besides, I don't think anyone I already know is likely to behave that way. In fact I don't think any of the people I have ever interacted with in the Prod racing community are likely to behave that way. If this person thinks anonymous intimidation tactics will get him anywhere he is totally wrong. I think he should present himself here and make his beef public, as the rest of us have not been trying to hide anything. If not on this forum then this individual should contact me personally and let me know exactly what his problem is, since I am the only guy who has claimed that I have a powerful F Prod race engine built by Jake Raby that may have Nickies inside. Otherwise, I'll see you at the race track! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/alfred.gif) |
