I like Tom. Great guy. Got to spend time with him while I lived in NorCal.. but it doesnt mean I'm going to lay down for him at an AutoX..LOL
I have the chassis and the LSD gearbox. I dont even have to drive (I'll put a SCCA National Champ in the seat if need be) What kind of HP/TQ will it take to beat him. I'm figuring the course is going to be VERY fast since it is being held here in SD. Thoughts on this? This will probably be my last "hurrah" with owning a 914 race car. The car is GUTTED. No windshield.. very little to NO steel in it. Goodyear R430's on 7's+8's. Full cage. It will end up with alum floor pans with small tubes. Shifter/seat/steering wheel. 3 gallon tank. B |

Alrighty than...what about this belly pan, Brad? Details, I need details. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) but I need the details of how it will produce downforce. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Can you run a none porsche engine to run your fans for the sucker car. I would hate to waste the HP from an engine designed to push my car, but to run another engine for the fans to suck it down to the ground. YOu have to run full body skirting, but you can ditch engine cooling fan at that point also. You would have to regulate air flow through the engine compartment and pickup intake air else where. Be no fun to have your sucker suck your intake dry. Has PCA banned the sucker cars yet? I can't remember, its been a while since I read the rules for the M-classes. |
