We are trying to find some free/cheap upgrades to make to our stock(ish) 74 914. If you missed it, we are Teamgravy Racing (Teamgravy Facebook) and recently raced our car at the 24 hours of LeMons Eagle Canyon Raceway and took 2nd place in class as well as the Index of Effluency (most coveted award at a LeMons race).
Now we are looking for more speed. The LeMons guys talk about the 914 as a terrible option for endurance road racing and we are on a quest to prove them wrong. See the wrap up video from our race where they dis the 14 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=playe...;v=jvtRq7rPn28#! What we are looking for are some cheap to free options to make the car quicker but not sacrifice durability. The next race of the season for us is a true 24 hour straight race in MSR in Houston. For example Mike (old914dog suggested at the last race we add some camber to the front end by loosening up the shock mounts and pulling them together with a ratchet strap. What else is cheap/free? We are looking for a cheap dual carb setup (current single webber progressive 32/36) to get more power but looking for cheap reliable power if possible. Thanks, Daryl - Teamgravy Racing car specs: 1974 914 1.8 with carb conversion gutted no extra weight roll cage Stock gas tank Stock 15" wheels 4 lug with dunlop direzza z1 (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net-15128-1369930683.1.jpg) |
