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) |

Brett is very right, as is Kevin,
I do not agree with the idea of a GT2 car, you are talking about huge dollars to build a GT 2 car not to mention the cost of 16 inch race rubber at about 350 plus each. VS Bias ply Goodyears at 175 each. Major difference, even though there certainly a big diff with radials. But again you will be dealing with a car that will need to be a tube car to be competitive in GT 2 even at the local level. Plus all of the engine components will be more money, except the standard stuff like rods, bearings etc... Blakewells car may be an interesting idea though. It is a preston chassis, but it also has an FT 200 Hewland in it, and it goes like stink, I did not know it was for sale. It would be a good buy, it is competitive. As opposed to building one. But I know you really want to build a Gt lookalike. Stick with EP, HSR and VSCCA and you will have the time of your life. Well, maybe. Erik |
