Thanks guy, I forgot to mention that there were a lot of interesting cars in the non competition tour; all sorts of Ferraris, Porsche museum 356's, 13 Gullwing Mercs mostly from US, and a Carrera GT from Cali. It went past us when we were parked on Corkscrew and the sound of it going up the hill was a bit like an F1 car.

So, is the cheque in the mail for the 2005 round? I'd not of thought the pivot was a weak point. Any ideas why it failed? Who was taking all of the pictures? They got some great shots. I like the one of the city far below.

I take it that some cars like the very fast 59 Karmann Ghia were quite tricked out.

Photos were taken by Perfect Prints from Hobart. The Kharman Ghia is something else. Pretty much a purpose built race car. The regs are getting tighter each year for the classics, eg the Cattlin Mustang run last year with full Motec kit and 6 speed Holinger sequential box couldn't be run this year so they built another.

I found out after the event that if you use a tricked up pull clutch then you have to bolt the pivot right through or it will pull out. The clutch has a 5 button carbon metallic disc with 2400lbs clamp pressure.

Mike, I can scan them to any resolution you like. I only scanned them in low res so far so I could post them. The after market pace notes we buy warn us when we are likely to get air.

Howard,

thanks for sharing with us..
REALLY REALLY GREAT!!!!
good job.


can I ask you a few questions about your front end set up?

specifically I'm looking at the front tires in the front wheel wells and guestimating ride height.
-are they 15inch wheels?
-what is your front suspension set up?
-anything special for bump stop?
-anything special for lowering (body drop or raised spindles?)

Looks really good
beautiful car
good job

Thanks guys. Brant, they are 15 x 7 wheels with 205 55 15 Yoko 0032R tyres (spelt the proper way for 914RS). The spindles have been raised 19mm and the steering arms bent down 19mm. Standard 19mm torsion bars and adjustable 18mm sway bar set to half. (I may go up in front torsion bar at some time). 1.5 deg neg, 4.5 deg caster, 0.2mm toe in each side. The corner weights worked out about 230 kg each side on the front and about 285kg each side on the rear. For completeness the rear has 145 lb Eibach springs and standard rear sway bar. Also 1.5 deg neg and 0.5mm toe in each side. I can't tell you what the ride heights are because the book is in the car which is on a truck in the inland flat country somewhere.

Howard,

thanks a ton.
my father and I were debating as the front looks very low (good)....

he said that you must have some extra spindle work and once again he was right...

beautiful pictures..
good job
