Well, after about a month of struggling with Rust on my first 914, We finally threw in the towel and decided it was too far gone to be sensibly repaired...
So, I set out to find a new(better) Unibody to transfer all my good parts onto. That resulted in a very kind stranger in the 914 community offering to give me one of his Rollers! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (im still shocked and incredibly thankful for this.) And we're going to pick it up and bring it home next week! I'm going to be dropping the 1.8L out of the now demoted Donor car, and Begin a rebuild of it tomorrow. Since we're building a Lemons car, I don't want to make any DRASTIC modifications to it, I just make sure everything is good to go for a 24hr race and in best possible condition. But, I wanted to ask here about any suggested modifications y'all had. Particularly if the Stock camshaft size was the best for my use case or if there was a better option. I come from a drag racing background, so I'm not sure if the drag racing strategy of "Do they make one bigger? Give me that." Translates to road course racing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) The car will see some occasional time on the highway when done. But I'm no stranger to driving race cars to work, and Georgia doesn't care about anything I do to it, so I'm asking as if it was pure bred track car engine The car still has its Fuel injection system, and right now the plan is to keep it fuel injected. |
