Looking at setting up a 914 for autocrossing (PCA and SCCA mainly) with an eye toward DE and club racing. Is there a current set-up that is more competitive than another? As we are starting with a clean sheet of paper at this point our options are only limited by our wallets. Here is what I was thinking, take a clean 914 2.0 as a starting point and add any needed safety equipment (roll bar/cage) learning a bit with that. Buy a junker 911 with a good motor and suspension (thinking an SC) swap it over and go from there. In looking at the PCA club racing rules the 3L SC would put you in the "big boy" class so we had talked about taking it down to a 2.8L if that is even possible. What do you guys think?

I don't think anything was proven about 4 cylinder power or 6 cylinder power at Parade. If you put Tom and Steve in a Hyundai sedan they would be fast. Steve beat me by a full second in my own car the very first time he drove it AND had me in the passenger seat. These guys are just fast. Autocrossing has much more to do with the driver than most people give credit for... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
