I've decided to retire the former #628 race car (anyone want to buy a car that you can go on the track with by just stuffing an engine/tranny in?) and have purchased a new tub and a load of new parts to put on it. The idea is the same as last time, be competitive in Auto-x and Time Trials and learn enough to run in the Porsche Racing Club. The first 2 goals we did fine in with the previous car, but catching the big bad boys was going to be difficult with a 2.7 litre 6 car....

After blowing the engine at Buttonwillow....I had to decide what to do...so since it's only money.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)

Here we go....

Trekkor...I hope you enjoy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The plan is to start hanging body work and get all the welding done prior to stripping the tub and painting it. The body shop will be ready in 2 weeks. Right now it is a steerable roller.

It's a Setrab/Mocal oil cooler. Also check the Fluidyne website.

Bill will know the dimensions.

The oil cooler is made by Setrab. It's roughly 26x11x1.75. Alot of folks in SoCal, Nev, Az are running them on their 930's.....

Why is the firewall moved forward ~ 6"? How was the car set up previously?

But most of them are slow... so plan on a bigger oil cooler.. :finger2: Jerry Woods recommends the Fluidyne setup on cars with no engine mounted oil cooler. Same size lengthwise but MUCH thicker (like double).

The OE firewall was cutout because it was rusty. A new firewall that goes straight up from the floorpans (maybe a slight angle) now goes to a kind of "shelf" area right below the rear window. Felix.. you walked past this car at the Palo Alto shop about 10 times. It has always been a 4 or 6 cyl car.

I know...I know...after talking with you the other night I already have a new one plugged in the spreadsheet....for the most part I did alright on my own...

only a few parts to upgrade.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

When we get to the nose of the car...say the word....

p.s. if Doris asks why we have 2 oil coolers in the garage...the story is that the engine is MUCH bigger than the last one.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol2.gif)

The key is: too much oil cooler can be blocked off. Not enough and you are packing it up and heading home. I do beleive we can "overkill" the cooling especially when we are talking about expensive 3.6 engines that never came with a block mounted oil cooler. Also.. build the cooling system one time. Later on (years) you may want to do a full race 3.8 or something. Plan ahead. Be prepared for needing extra cooling. You dont want to do it twice.

Brad,
Was that the one you were selling with the 911 hood?

Bill,
Congrats, great project!

BTW, I'd like to check out your HPH flares on your old car if it's still at your house. I live near Lincoln.

Hey Bill,

Congrats on the new project!
I figured from earlier post you'd be going this route (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Too cool. I still have quite a few pics and info of the car in it's former "glory"
(before Brad got it) and that very car was actually a big inspiration for me
(I think it was one of the first semi-tube frame cars I saw on the net)

cheers,

Jeroen

Bill; I'm going to be real interested in following your racing after you get this new car together. My 2.7 and I turn real respectable times when we go out but we're in the toughest POC class, V3. I've been trying to figure out how to beat some of these taildragging bad boys without joining them. Part of my problem is I'm starting out from a 2.0 stock motor and adding points from there. They're starting out with 3.2's stock. It's hard to make a 914 competitive. Same situation with tire and wheel sizes. Anyway, carry the flag brother! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif)

Tell us about the color scheme.
I love the body work.

What wheels? Tires?

I'm happy for you Bill and Doris! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

Thanks for the pics...It helps. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

It will look just like that... but ORANGE. The main tub will be white just like the factory current race cars.

It will get 16x10 HRE mesh wheels with Goodyear R430 for track use and 250's for AutoX use (front and rear)
