Started work on my friend Ivan's '70 914 last night. We got the engine and trans out so I could start the rust repair. I started removing all the legal things you can for street prepared and have already removed over 60#. We scaled this car before we started and it weighed 1850 w/o the top. So we are already under 1800#. We are putting fiberglass gt flares on so that should save a few pounds. I am really hoping that when it is all said and done that it stays under 1800#.

It looks good in pictures. The right rear has been hit and repaired poorly and the hellhole is a hellhole. But it was 100% stock except for the 32/36 weber. It even has the '70 only rear bumper on it.

Good class, tons of competition, even at local events.....in my experience.
There are a bunch of 4 valve motors setting on your chest, however. Give em' hell. |

Blake,
I'm VERY interested in hearing more. I started building an SP 914 many years ago. Since the car has found jack-stands more comfortable than asphalt as of late, most of my recent development has been on paper... Would love to hear what you plan to do for a tire/wheel combo. That IT motor you put together would be the perfect power plant. As for competition, DSP is gonna have some heavy BMW competition. On the right course though, a fully built 914 might be able to give 'em a run. Gonna be tough though... -Josh2 |

Fast Supra too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8lTLiQ9Kh8 DSP 914 is a lot like FP 2.5 Boxster. We are out gunned HP wise by BMW's and Evo's but hoping lightweight and handling puts us up in the standings but power and grip does rule in AX. This post has been edited by grantsfo: Jul 6 2010, 09:25 PM |

That course at Lincoln looks just like the courses you were so enamored with down at SD & El Toro, eh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
Earth to Grant: That was a real National level course. |

Truly appreciate your incredible insight! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) Guess I'll be able to relate actual Nationals experience`this year rather than internet pretending like you and Brit. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) You guys stick to small pond, its working for ya! Now back to DSP 914 talk! Blake impresses me as somone who seriously follows through with development projects rather than engaging in internet puffery we see from the NorthWest.

What Grant can't seem to relate to is this.......on a great open course with no tight stuff.
