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. |

Rob,
We could beat around the bush all day, but unless the individual who threatened protest to Mr. Raby comes forward everything is only speculation. But, the fact remains, there just aren't that many players. I would like to think anyone who has that much interest in the topic of the legality of alternate cylinders in a SCCA 914 would be willing to join the debate openly, make his points, and not hide behind a mask of anonymity. I certainly have not tried to be secretive about the way I intend to prepare my race car within what I believe the boundaries of the rules are. I share the opinion that Erik Madsen has expressed - that the 914 community needs to be more unified in their efforts to beat a host of other manufacturer backed race efforts. |
