I see you have Toyo RA-1s. Those are some great tires. That is what I use for my street tires and rain tires.
You car looks amazing. I wish my car looked half as nice as yours. |

I am seriously considering it for my car as well which is why I ask. Too bad I missed the get together on Saturday . . . still feeling crappy now.

The car had a roll bar in it when I purchased it and also had a lot of reinforcing all over it. I bought the car as a rolling chassis from a PCA club racer from San Diego with the intention of converting it into a street car. My original car that I purchased off of the dealers showroom floor in 74 was to much work to restore after using it as a daily driver in Minnesota for over 20 years, but the nice thing about that car was that it was a whole car, and the interior and other parts other than the body were in great shape even the seats and backpad still looked great. So thus, sadly it became a donor.
My engine should lay down over 400hp and I have limited slip in the tranny and nice sized sticky tires. It may be over kill with both especially the Mayeur kit which is really heavy weight, I just wanted to get the car as solid as I could without using the roll bar. I still have the AutoPower roll bar that I can bolt in if I ever wish to do any club track events. |

Upper dash, pillar gauges and instrument gauges installed. Yes all those switches go to stuff. Transmission cooler pump, intercooler fans, kill switch, and boost timing retard.
Moving to finish off the lower dash, center console gauges and stereo install and Engman aluminum pedal and passenger floor boards next. Attached image(s)

Wow, that is a cool dash/ guage set up. I like that you made a racecar setup, but kept it 914.

I think it's about time for our cars to have on board fire systems (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
Yours @ over 400hp and mine getting tweaked right now (over 550) with high pressure CIS , it's fire season ! I've already replaced 5 fuel lines ( fuel rot) while running my 3.2 biturbo engine since 1995. Some failed lines were aeroquip (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif) Marty |

But I have had thoughts of on board system, it would be cheap insurance if ever needed. I too have had some old SS Areoquip lines fail because of rot. the fuel just weeps out of it's skin. |

Most of my time has been consumed with cleaning things and cleaning up paint overspray on the wiring, I have a whole new respect for the concourse guys, I hate this type of work it has to be the hardest part of this build.
I did a major cleaning up of the wiring and the connectors and simplified some of the hook ups to the gauges and the stereo. The interior can really come together fast now. The lower dash pad will go on after i get the wiring for the A/R gauge finished up. All of the new cables are in place, and have a little more wiring on my innovate A/R gauge and relocation of the fuel pump to the front cross member. I moved into the engine bay for a little while and have more wiring to simplify and clean up. These guys are ready to have a blast! Attached image(s)
