my vote is cast for the gt..... besides, the joy of smoking the rice burners while avoiding the long arm has a big allure... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I if the GT gets a more modern looking front bumper/spoiler and some lower rocker panels, the apearance of the car would be greatly enhanced
(I really like the fiberwerks 914 front bumper)

Besides the bigger and smoother flares, I think those items are a big factor in the good looks of the Sheridan kit

Cheers,

Jeroen

That wing on the yellow car does look like it might be remotely adjustable, or could be made so. That would be slick. I might actually stop by the Las Vegas POC event this weekend...if the car's there, I'll take a close look and maybe chat with the owner.

ScottB, what the hell is your avatar?

Jeroen, am I right in hearing you're cutting metal GT flares off your car in favor of fiberglass ones? If so, why go to that much trouble? Just for weight savings?

Yep, any weight I can ditch is welcome.

I'll have full f/g fenders with dsuz fastners

The goal is to end up in the 1750# area. Combined a 3.0 euro Carrera engine with webers (230+ bhp) that should be fun enough to give some fast cars a good run for their money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Aside from the weight, racing can get ruff here, and I couldn't forgive myself for banging up a set of steel flared fenders...

cheers,

Jeroen

I would imagine you could get some good money for the steel ones once removed. I love selling car parts to pay for new car parts.

Next time you have trouble getting a vendor to ship you stuff let one of us be the middle man for you.

Here's another pic of the 998 Sheridan bodied car at Willow Springs.

Hi, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I know most of you'd say "go for the sheridan" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) , but one thing is certain: if you want to keep a 914 look you'll go for the GT... otherwise is just another funny supercar...
That is what I'd do, but I just can't get enough of my 914... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Portuga914, that was my original thought, too. But since this project started I got another 914 for use on the street. So, that is where it gets tricky. How bad-ass do I want the race car to be? The Sheridan kit will be much better aero-wise, but the GT pieces look more like a vintage racer! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

well, then just get another car. that way you would have a daily driver, a GT and a bad-ass racer (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)
