I am in need of some,alot of technical help regarding the fabrication of a 914-6 GT(clone) SCCA GT-3 club racer. I have decieded to have camp 914 put the project together. Craig knows what he is doing with respect to the flares, roll-cage, coolers, suspension etc.. I need help with some of the tricks you SCCA guys have developed with regards to engine type, displacement, set up etc.. What would be the best, longest lasting, most bang for the buck motor I could run? I have a GCR hand-book from the SCCA but I am finding it hard to determine the best route to take. All technical help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time.
Regards, John Zimmer FF/FC guy until Sep. 2006 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) |

I'd have to agree with Eric... GT is not the way to go with this car. If you do modify the suspension to get the dual a-arms, you get a weight penalty... and in my mind you can't make up the difference (if your suspension is optimized to the production rules).
It's clear that nobody's tried to run a 4cyl 914 in GT in quite a while since the rules really favor the -6. You'd face a serious uphill battle getting the rules modified to put you on a level playing field, while I believe that the 914 in production is classed competitively already. I'm here to help, too....just realize that each of us have different opinions about what this vehicle needs to go fast. There's at least one opinion for each race car out there. |
