Great idea, like to see more photos, looks a '70s era modification.
He laid the windscreen back a little, widebody doors, no intake scoops for cooling and aero assist air. A wing is missing. An 8mm movie converted to video, cellcam photo. ...'89 tv camera. He did 175mph trap speed.  https://issuu.com/fghkudfgdgmfb/docs/6dfvdfv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gbxbXYa1lg |

QUOTE(sixnotfour @ Jun 16 2020, 08:06 AM)  Silver State Challenge VHS he talks about it. only place I have ever seen the 914... Could you be more specific. Looked around, couldn't find the video, I did find a pdf about the Avro Arrow CF105, and a Hemmings bit about a custom glass body. https://www.hemmings.com/stories/2013/12/10...car-rises-again Thinking..a rust free -14, lol. Why the TVR Zante is still a viable project, and with modern power, suspension pieces. found it  https://youtu.be/e-PFfwxR3SQ?t=905 a few grabs 1989 70 914-6 Carl Young     I believe there is a turbo six 914 in orange, here, and with long gears could possibly break the 175 trap Carl Young set in '89. Why didn't I think of that ? A simple solution to lowering the front end, raise the strut mount through the hood, bonnet, and cap with aero bubbles. The rear, by cutting the spring, I wonder if they also raised the swingarm pivots by the correct amount. A genuine 69 build -6. What has it's fate been ? . |

QUOTE(Carbon-14 @ Jun 15 2020, 01:46 PM) Vitor has left the planet. A few years now, took the illness to the universe. nc, cnc machinist since the '60s, large heavy work, turbines, tiny keys for AV8B's. Wrote good code, parametrics, multi languages, no bs. I liked some of his drawings, went out a space kadet. Well, someone will have to build a few. This is one of his last, called it Baltic Black 07, the curve of the trunklid is mirrored by the edge of the fender, allowing the fender's line to rise above the lid, higher. are you saying Mr. virkey has passed away? I always enjoyed his posting and thoughts . I don't remember hearing that or knowing that he was no longer with us. |

I've recently got his drives, pooters. Huge stacks.
Some of the drawings were nice, a Pama 5x machine manual from the '90s, progs. I touched up the shooting brake using the same sw he used, notes. He wrote about the limo, which I haven't seen..yet. He had a laugh doing the 6 x 6 Tonka, a glass body for a tow vehicle, gooseneck race 914 trailer. |

 The doorskins, moved out to meet the fenders in a smooth transition, the top radius much larger than either the front or rear. The entire side of the car is tapered, growing wider as it moves to the rear, stabilizing at speed, one would think. Looks like a scoop at the sail panel, air for cooling.  A slight widening of the front fenders, to accomodate the wider front Z rated tires, 225. A guess.  Here they are leaving the start line, the six winding out. Skirts, they did it with skirts, and a dam, a front splitter. Lowered, widened fenders, laid back windscreen, open targa bar, side windows up. A fiberglass tail lip spoiler. The entire rear panel was split in the center, moved laterally to the new, wider position, looking good. https://issuu.com/porscheclubla/docs/vol_1_no_6_july_1981 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...mp;hl=porschaus http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...mp;hl=porschaus http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...chaus&st=20  . |
