Yeehaw! It's taken me about a year to complete the upgrades and now I've finally driven my 914 for the first time! With a Jake Raby built 2.3 "Annihilator" in the car, it has surpassed my every expectation. It has ungodly amounts of torque and scary horsepower. I just completed several extended "shake-down" runs and the oil temp has never reached 200 and the cylinder heads never saw more than 300 - not bad for a hot central Florida day in heavy traffic and out on the highways. Even the local law enforcement was impressed (thank you, kind officer for understanding my unabashed enthusiam and letting me go). I'm looking forward to attending a track event later this month and really ringing the car out - I'm glad that the BMW brake upgrades at all four corners will help stop this beast. Now that the mechanicals are in order, it's time to start thinking about paint, etc.
Many thanks to Jake Raby and his abundant knowledge of how to get the most out a "big four". Keep up the great work, Jake! Mark Stockbridge Orlando, Florida |

Wow! Thanks to everyone for the warm welcomes! I look forward to corresponding and possibly someday meeting many of you.
Karl, I will contact you very soon. I would love to see your project, it sounds pretty exciting! I live on the east side of Orlando near Waterford Lakes and I missed the last Orlando get-together in Waterford Lakes Shopping Center by only a few days! Definitely count me in for the next one... |
