What do you think about this…
Professionally build 914/6 GT tribute car.

Looking for a wevo 915 side shift kit… see thread in parts section.

Will post more pics soon… (and a vid, car scared the sh*t out of me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

Intrigued by that throttle control setup. Would love to see more of that and how it all routed inside the cabin. Very cool 914.
Fuel tank is trick. Look forward to more.

All right here we go .... This weekend I had to chance to look(and enjoy a ride as a passenger) at an amazing car. The car started life as an Ivory white 73 2.0.

The owner participated in the P2P rally (Peking to Paris) with a 911 safari. During this harsh trip he started thinking of doing it again but then in a 914. He contacted BMA sport (a Belgian company building rally cars) who had build his 911 before and after a lot of brainstorming the build began. It took them 2 years to complete. The car was completely stripped and scanned by computer to see where the stresspoints are and how to reinforce the car to become a full blown rally car. I went through the pictures of the build and I was blown away... the reinforcements, the roll cage, the suspension makes (from Reiger ! google it) this car so rigid that we took a speedbump at 120 km/h (scared the sh*t out of me).

A few comprises were made as the P2P rally is a serious trip.... the seats are a bit more comfortable, the rear trunk is out of metal (the fibre glass one is used for normal rally) as they had to install a rack to carry a spare tire (P2P regulation). The GT muffler was replaced by a Dansk exhaust as the driver and co-pilot nearly went deaf during test runs. A led strip was added in the trunk (they need to carry their own luggage).

The fuel tank could not be found to they've build it fm scratch. It is now FIA approved !

I never saw a 914/6 GT tribute car upclose and several things caught my eye... the car has two distributors (one in use and one spare) and has double throttle and clutchcables...if one snaps, pop the broken one off and pop one the new one... great idea.

The engine is a 2.7 RSR spec car build by Mittelmotor Germany and the sound and power is amazing.

On the pics you will see the 5 lug fuchs but they during rally special rally rims and tires are used ... the brakes are all ventilated discs and special calipers. When he hit the brakes my neck nearly snapped (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The car did testruns in Romania and Portugal and soon will go to Sweden (the owners intends to just drive up the car to Sweden !!!) to participate in a historic car rally. With the Bjorn Waldegard livery I think the crowd will go nuts.

What I like about the car and the owners is that the car is used for what it is build for... this is not a trailer queen but a full blown rally car.

Honestly this car gives me goosebumps. I saw some nice builds online but I am a bit proud that this car is in Belgium. We are just a tiny dot on the map and I never expected that such a nice car is only 15 km away from me

bye for now

The only complaint the owners has is the shifting and therefore he is looking for a Wevo Side shift kit. Mepstein came forward and I passed on their contactdetails to see if they can work something out ....

It is just great how this board can perhaps contribute to a special car

bye for now

Yes do so, I was also intrigued by the double throttle cable clearly seen near the pedal and the in the engine bay.

I can look at this car for hours to look at all the details

yes, rubber mats in the fenders but I have a video where the car flies over gravel roads and you can still hear the stones hitting the car with an unbelievable noise...
I died a bit inside but as the owners says ... it is build to go hard, no matter what (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

An awesome build, duel T cables, duel plug but one dizzy at a time. Redundancy for the Win. Tell your Pal's "Too Cool" and thanks for sharing, Dax
