There is a engman stiffing kit installed in my car. I have been running in DSP, but after stumbling onto a thread the say's the engman kit may not be ran as a DSP. The kit was installed very badly, weld fitment etc. so I am contemplating removing it. alt of grinding but it may be the solution. I don’t' have a lot of money to spend on the car, so I prefer to stay in DPA class. I am open to any solution or ideas. Thanks Mike

Leave it in.
It was installed to repair rust damage. Nothing more. (wink, wink) It's not like you're going to the Nationals. |

Thanks Ury, I beleive that was the intent originally. The car had reust damage but rust damage was done. I don't think it was done at the sametime due to the the Engman install was badly done and the long rust repair weld and fitment was much better. Nationals? Funny,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, I'm just trying to keep up with the locals, no 914's here so nothing to compare with in the Houston area. I have more time now, so I am putting in a lot more time into my car. Thanks for your time and advice. Mike |

Mike,
Have fun with it. Newer cars will beat you but it doesn't matter. Drive it hard. You'll be surprised how much they can be pushed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) |

Looking good, kid. Push it hard and it will give you great pleasure. These are like Alfas, push them hard and they will deliver within their capabilities. Winning is not everything, how well you and your car perform within capabilities is just as important. Just remember, you are learning and the car is a perfect one to use.
Have fun and enjoy. I do not race since I am just a little over the hill and I enjoy road driving. Steve |

I already feel much better just to have my life back. Like being a kid again "Free-Free-Free (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I am not trying to win, jus won't happen, but I am going to enjoy the fruits of my labor. I'm going home to California for about three weeks, then in July I will jump into it at the Royal Purple Raceway in Houston. Thanks for the advice. Mike |
