Bobby,, do you track it? Your car would be a hoot at the FSR DE on the south course at VIR in September. I'm taking mine to a Rezoom DE at Barber Aug 18 & 19...first time there for me...

Heading to Richmond VA this am to run her for the first time in almost 2 years. I'll let everyone how it goes. I've made quite a few changes in the past few weeks so it should be interesting.


Since the car was an un-registered weapon before, what are the "quite a few changes" if you don't mind sharing... I know I'm interested to see how the car is evolving now that its back on your radar and back on track.

I took the engine/tranny out and pulled the heads just to freshen things up. The engine only had about 8 hours on it and the heads looked good. Replaced all fuel lines, put on a hi torque starter, new battery and tires (this time running radial slicks).
Also replaced master cyl and bled brakes. Tried stiffer rear springs and a different shock setting (going back to old springs and shocks next time). I'm very happy with the car.

Jeez Bobby, you're doing all of this work and you don't give me a call to come assist/supervise?

Lets drink a beer soon! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Do you know the HP to the rear wheels? Probably about 245-250hp at the crank, right? Thanks!

HP at crank is 194 but the torque curve is as flat as the state of Texas. 200 Ft Lbs at 3,000 rpm and 215 at 4,000. Pulls like a freight train.

215 ft lbs of torque at the crank. VERY NICE. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)

It would make a good hill climb car, with a bit more cage!

Took 3rd FTD in row yesterday. I know the F/S area is not the place for me to brag but after having this car for sale here for such a long time, it sure is FUN bragging about how fast it is and how someone missed a great deal. Whew...I'm sure glad no one bought her.

Alright...I'll try to make this my last post about how fast this car is but took 4th FTD in a row yesterday in Richmond VA at RIR. She is a beast. Will probably switch back to 914/6 for the next few events for a little variety.

Car is no longer for sale but since this thread is already established, I thought I'd post setup for 2013 season with new Avon slicks. Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)

Have not run them yet but register very soft on durometer. Got them from Sasco in Danville VA. Shipped from England and take a long time to arrive. I ordered early in Jan. Pricy too, I hope to try them this Sunday.

This car is everything an autox 914 should be.

A dream of mine and nightmare to others.

Congrats, you are a lucky man to have such a weapon.

Enjoy.

Your rules say your tires can extend past the fenders?

Yes, I usually run SCCA auto-x and local clubs that use SCCA rules. In E/M 1/2 of the tire must be covered when viewed from above.
