Speaks for itself. He saved on weight by even not having a battery, or any sheet metal in the trunks!

GO TEAM NARP! OC ROCKS!

Joe, What a car!

1 year ago, a tub with not much else going on, now no one can catch them!

Joe had 2 of his drivers running the car. They ran in 2 classes, but did not intend to and won both with low to mid 70 second times.

Joe is the team manager, and owner, but his back prevents him from driving it HARD.

Still, Thomas and Jim? ran the pants off the competition.

The car sounded awesome with that 3.0L 6, and almost no internal sheetmetal, replaced by tubular steel.

I worked corners and the car went by so fast it was shocking that it had no body roll at all. NONE.

Even GT3's have some roll. This was flat.

I went and ordered Bilstein sports and am deciding on spring strength to get installed BEFORE next AX in OCR.

They were awesome, and not that loud, as they had a Banana with 2 exhaust pipes on it.

PCA Zone 8 AX counting for points.

Joe and TEAM NARP had some wild class stuff going on.

They were in 2 classes - A/M and A/I, but the AI classing was erroneous, and Joe howled at the awards meeting!

Truly, they thought they should be:

A/Modified - They won. There were 3 cars entered, I think.

They kicked everyone's ass, except 2 cars in about 70 or 80 cars. A stupifyingly fast C5 1999 Corvette, and Steve Eguina's RS2, which is almost uncontrollable.

We had about 5 914's there. Joe's Black Rocket, Orangina, Joe's driver Jim? had his ABSOLUTELY SPANKING GREEN 914-6 3.0, which I have serious lust for, then a young guy with a 74 Signal Yellow 2.0 that was refitted with a 1.7, after he blew it up earlier in his ownership.

He made it into my class C S/S, but I did win by 3 seconds. He was learning, had about 4 laps with an instructor, and I need shocks and springs, after 38 years, but I will do so this next 2 weeks. He broke 95 first, then I broke it on 5 practice laps and all 4 timed laps. My best was 91.804. And I was able to make 4th gear at 5000 rpm on the long back straight.

And we had a Zambezi Green 1975, but he left early and did not compete.

PCA OCR is next October 17th at 6500 Marine Way in El Toro.

Come kick some 911 ass, please!

I may break into a lower ET with the new suspension stuff, as I had some body roll, but ALL the 911's are faster than me by at least 2 seconds.

My mechanic goes to work on the 28th on the suspension.

Asking 2 questions in the next thread.

Next OCR AX I will get Joe's pics with the front and rear trunks off. And the interior and engine bay. You can see the whole drivetrain with the rear trunk and lid off.

It is INSPIRING!

Dope that I am, I stood and drooled and forgot my $1K photo rig around my neck!

Ain't aging a biatch?

Thomas had fastest time for this car.

You must know him!

His accent was thick enough that I had to pay attention to truly hear him.

He was below 75 second consistently, but he did eat a cone on my team's corner work.

I did see it fly, but coming into the fastest corner, corner 8, there was so much rubber coming off the wheels that it was like a cloud of BLACK FLYS!

And yes, the younger driver Jim? was also way below 80 seconds, but Thomas was scary fast!

I want to drive THAT car!

John

John, thanks for all the pics and info. Joe, Thomas and I all had a blast, the car ran great! We're just starting to adjust it, Joe changed the tire pressure for the first time since the tires were mounted... We need to work on the shift linkage, we were starting off in second each time. We also need to take some of the camber out, the outsides of the tires were not heating up nearly as much. It was fun to see all the 911 guys with their 1/4 million dollar toys coming by to look at Joe's car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Be advised that Bilstein Sports are valved for a car much heavier than that one.
If you already have some Bils, you can send then to Bilstein West (Poway, CA.)
and have them valved to suit the car & it's usage.......70 bucks or so each,+ parts.

So, whatcha' gonna do for springs? My old car is about 100 lbs heavier (last I heard from Joe) than Joe's. There are about 4 914s on the West Coast in your weight catagory....I built one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
