As some of you know, I am going back and forth on putting in a 2.4l six or swapping a Subaru Ej25. I want to know what impact the Subaru engine will have on racing the car. I am specifically wondering how the PCA (and RMR since I am in Colorado) treats 914's with non-Porsche engine swaps in them. I want to be able to run my car at club events. I know there won't be a problem in SCCA racing. But I don't know about the "official" Porsche clubs...

Matt,
yep all of the above is true. I race in PCA club racing, RMVR vintage racing, and RMR drivers ed. for colorado you will not be allowed to run in any of those clubs with a subaru engine. You will be allowed to do drivers ed events with a couple of the multi-car type clubs that have much looser "run whatya brung" rules. Their events are not racing and not wheel to wheel. I don't think they use ambulance support either if that factors in for you. I'm not as familiar with the SCCA classes, but my guess is that you'll be screwed with the subaru engine there also. They will probably put you into a full modified class. Although I don't know that for sure. RMR says motor and tranny from porsche in a porsche chassis. regarding the -6, yes you will be in modified classes based upon displacement, but you would still be allowed to run in both RMR-DE and PCA club racing. brant |
