do you have any pictures of how the cage ties into the engine bay?

I'm not allowed to attatch my cage to suspension points unless its bolt in, but was considering something to the back

nice to see another vintage teener
I honestly believe you will see more and more of them being built.

I'm certain there are 20-40 more teeners running vintage than there were 10 years ago... heck even 5 years ago
914's are getting old and not really competetive with modern cars.. but they are great vintage cars! This is going to grow and grow.

I will add a few photos of the cage next. I have been involved in vintage racing for 15 years and there have always been plenty of 914-6s. I have had two of them (one an original GT car, the other a GT replica) and have become discouraged by the constant escalation of performance and all the blatant cheating. 2.5L short stroke and 2.8L engines are not uncommon. That Is why I went with a narrow-bodied 4 cylinder car that competes in Group 3. Remember " ... it's just as much fun to drive a slow car fast as it is to drive a very fast car even faster ..."

Nice pictures..
a friend of mine that I race with built a tribute to your car
his was a real M471 with factory flares, balsa hoods, and the factory cooler/thermostat.

he copied your paint though. The car is now in germany and the owner of it is on this board from time to time. I believe it went through a full restoration since these pictures were taken in colorado.

New engine arrived yesterday. Let's hope all the expertise and hard work of Greg at F.A.T. Performance pays off. We have dry-sumped the engine and will be adding a cooler up front for added cooling. Dyno results showed 179 hp @6,500 rpm and a nice flat torque curve peaking at 171 ft lbs at 5,000 rpm. Can't wait for Spring!

how big does your club let you build too?
doesn't sound like a 1.7 (which would be vintage legal out here)

2500cc ?

With CVAR (SVRA owner is a member) we are not allowed to run front coolers which apparently is part of the '72 GCR's.
