I was noticing lately that the Pelican board was getting weak in the areas of real good 914 posts. You know, less racing/autocross posts and more questions on how to remove the driver's seat and whats your favorite color. Now I know where everyone went! Glad I found you 'all.
I just ran my first autox last Sunday after cutting the roof and windshield off and adding a "semi" tube frame. I would have had FTD if I didn't hit that f-ing cone that moved on me. I'll post some pics of the car (semi-car) tonight when I get home. |

This picture is at the 2000 SCCA NeDivs with the old paint scheme. Tires are 23x9-15 Goodyear Eagle slicks in 210 compound. They work well and are cheap. I buy them used from a guy in Wisconsin. Front wheels are 15"x7" Centerline and rear are 15"x8" widened from the stock 1975 steel wheel. The car weighs 1775 lbs as it is now and except for the flares, cowl fairing and bumper is still all steel. I figure with fiberglass lids, doors, a bit more trimming and replacing those heavy rear wheels I can get down to 1680. 1775 may seem heavy but consider the Chevy V6 and cooling system adds weight over the -4 that I took out.
