Several years back, I used to watch the SCCA Runoffs, many times at Mid-Ohio, on the SPEED channel. It was always cool to see a few 914's running in, I THINK, the E Prod and F Prod classes.
I just happened to look on their website today and didn't see any 914's in the results. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I might have missed one, but I thought I would find them in either E, F, or H. Anyone here know if there are any 914's still running competitively in the SCCA, and, if so, what class? |

Quick update. Looks like I caught the postal truck.* 2L 914 into FProd using Limited Prep specs, 11:1, .450 cams, dual carbs with 38mm chokes, cam-driven 2-stage dry sump.
Probably not going to do much with it - likely to play in Eprod with the Civic Si or HProd with the Honda Fit this year - but at least "it's a place" for the 914 to play. Teh specs might drive a few other cars out of retirement, though I think the Miata is still the car to beat. *"You're like a dog spending years chasing the postal truck that eventually catches it and then doesn't know what to do with it." - former driving instructor |

Interesting development. Any head porting allowed?

Interesting development. Any head porting allowed? Negative. 1" port matching to intake only. I encourage reading the GCR for details, but pretty much stock stuff except for 1.2mm overbore, stock valve sizes, rockers free (stock ratios), pistons/rings unrestricted, any ferrous rods of same pin distance, any flywheel of stock diameter, and other details. Air cooled engine shrouding and fans are unrestricted. Any stock transaxle gears with a weight adder. If you're feeling flush, dog gearboxes allowed (no sequential) with a larger adder. Final drive free. Suspension components mostly free to be replaced, but cannot move the pickup points. Stock brake calipers. Rotors of stock size but can be converted to two-piece. Some alternate body panels allowed. Fenders can be flared but note there are wheel and tire size limts, plus track must be 103% of the car’s stock track plus 2.5 inches. Other regs regarding airdams, interior/exterior (can cut windshield and remove rear windows, for example). See the GCR for details. It's not a cheap class, even at "Limited Prep." |
