(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_flagge24.gif) Hey everyone
I was hoping to autocross my 914 in the stock class in SCCA. My question is are stock 914s still keeping up with the new cars or is best to modifly it and race in other classes. Where you can pump up the motor ect. Maybe I can update the car it is a 71 1.7 with a newer 2.0 motor and parts and still race in the stock class. I am new to this 914 thing. Thanks Tony |

In SCCA stock class:
Tires are free--anything DOT-legal that fits on the rims and under the stock fenders is allowed. Wheels have to be the same size as at least one of the OEM offerings that year. A very small change in offset is allowed, I believe. Shocks are free. Front (and only front!) sway bars are free. The exhaust from the catalytic converter on back is free. For us that means the muffler. Any and all stock adjustments (timing, alignment, etc.) can be changed to any setting in their normal range. The front ride height on our car may be an exception--they may require some specific ride height. (There was some flap about torsion-bar-equipped cars a few yeas back and one of the proposed rulings was that the cars had to remain at stock height.) I think you can put in five-point belts, but I'm not sure. And that's all you can change. --DD |
