I have heard some plans of a guy who is planning to mount a twin turbo 956 engine (600+ hp) in a tube frame 914. He plans to use either a 930 or G50 transmission.

Nothing more yet - he expects to be ready by early 2006.

Should be wild (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

914 panfront firewall, tube frame, 993 front susp, I forgot what rear suspension he grafted in

956TT powerplant (or 962, i always get them confused)

very cool, but I have a hard time considering it a 914 anymore (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

my arms hurt just thinking how hard it would be to steer that thing at slow speeds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

There is a 962 (IRRC) powered 914 in So Cal. Featured in EC years ago. I may have the issue, but I think not. The Cap'n

What the F makes this 914 legal for PCA club racing ?? I looked over a full tube chassis 935 at the Parade club race. It wasnt a vintage racer.. the guy just had it built. Didnt even have 911 rear suspension. Pics like this PISS me off to no end when they give us shit about running the tube frame 914.

If you squint REALLY hard.. you can imagine a 911 torsion bar tube in there. But you have to have a good imagination.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bs.gif)

Quite a few years! I saw Nick drive that car in 1985 in the Zone 1 Time Trial.
As far as it being legal in PCA racing, can you say "grandfather clause"?

Brad, just goes to show how the rules are "interpreted" differently region to region. They should be the same throughout every region, but if a scrut wakes up on the wrong side of bed or had a late night out unfortunatley cause different interpretaions of the rules..

It sucks.. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I was there, missed the impact, but saw it come to rest near pit in. He probably left the track at 120+, without a lot of runoff room. Makes my crash seem like a picnic.
Took him a few minutes to come to his senses again, but he was mostly ok.

Not at all, he was asking if it had been done before - do you have any more info?

I'll pass it on
