After seeing Bretts post this morning on his project car (which is pretty darn cool), I was wondering what point is the car no longer a "914"
Is the line crossed when a different make of motor is put in?? almost any German motor is okay in my book To you is an Audi motor okay but not a Subaru? sorry, I cannot do the Suby, it's just "wrong" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) What about the chassis? For PCA racing, I believe one must have the firewalls and the longs... As much as I like the full tube frame cars, they are no longer a 914, just an image of one..... Suspension: Would swapping to modern P-car parts be okay? such as using the suspension from Boxster, I like the idea, but not allowed in PCA except X or fun runs I think What about all new and non-P-car designed suspension? |

(copied this last night to my clipboard (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) ) who me, cause trouble??? never (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) just thinking out loud and wondering what other people thought...as usual with me and others, I'm sure I'll change my mind/thought later on this week (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) James, not "any" german motor, it still has to follow a few rules of mine... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) I guess you are correct, with cars and parts being made in darn near every country now and with quite a few of them being copies (like Scott mentioned in another post the 2.7 /6 has parts that are near identical replacements for some Subaru motors) the line is getting blurry between makes and models. Even my own car I'm changing it so that it wouldn't be "confused" as a stock 914....it'll still look like a 914, it'll just be a little more "rice" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smash.gif) |
