Just curious. Could there possibly be an early 911 site similar to this site? Though I'm 914 forever, I have a 73 T that needs some attention. Wonder if there's a site that has some decent resto info. Have no intention of turning it to a track car after all these years & it runs just fine. But, would like to connect with people of similar interests for these cars. Owned it for 15 years & only occasionally drive it, but need to either have more fun with it or buy another 914. Tried the early 911SIG, but nothing seesm to happening there. I know some of you guys have 911's - any suggestions? |

QUOTE BTW, a 73 is hardly an "early" 911, being from the 9th year of production, and the 3rd series (911C). Dearest Ancient One, These kiddos now-a-days are calling anythink up to a mid-80's car and early 911. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif) In my book the "early" moniker ends with the 73 though... Ken, that's an interesting car. What 2.4 did you update your 70 with? |

QUOTE(Eric_Shea @ Jun 2 2006, 09:29 AM)  Ken, that's an interesting car. What 2.4 did you update your 70 with? Eric, I don't know a lot about the engine and car because I didn't build it. I bought it from the guy who did build it, though. It's a 2.4 with S heads and (I believe) S cams, Carrera tensioners, MFI dialed in correctly for the displacement (in other words, I don't mess with it). I had it dyno'ed at Carlisle a year ago, and if I remember correctly, it has something like 190 horsepower at the wheels. Fiberglass front bumper and engine lid, lightweight S calipers, 23mm Mercedes master cylinder (hard hard brakes), and I just bought an M&K muffler to lighten it up a little bit more. Haven't installed it yet, though. The PO used to race and autocross the car in Virginia. I've only ever driven it on public roads so far, but it is definitely a screamer. Thanks for asking! Oh yeah... BK911 is absolutely correct. The bird board has more information than anyone can ever assimilate when it comes to 911's. |
