I have always loved the 914/6 GT's and will be converting this orig 6 (below) to an updated GT plus try to build a TTOD capable AX’r. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

It will be pretty much be a straight up racer, no heat, no radio, no nuthin, almost a full GT car but with no roll cage. To get to TTOD I felt that I needed a few things I did not already have, such as more rubber beneath me, more low end torque, closer gear ratios, LS diff, more tuneable suspension, body stiffening, yadda yadda, you get the drift.


This first pic is when I bought her in August 02, she's a factory six with a 3.2 and 915 trans, 911s suspension, was PCASDR 99 & 2000 AX champ for class HI.

Marv, Where did you bring your DME harness through to the passenger compartment? Did you incorporate it into the stock 914 harness? I didn't see any large new holes in your firewall, just curious?? I haven't figured out where/how to bring mine in yet.

08/02/2006 Dash has been reworked, radio & vent controls removed. Have new vent where the ash tray was made from a 03 ford f150 truck vent angled toward the driver. This will be powered by a 12v boat bilge blower that will be mounted under the dash.

The dash vinyl has a carbon fiber weave effect. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
