Hey everyone-
We normally do 356s and early 911s but we have decided to go racing and picked up a very cool 914. I thought I would share it with the group. Please no bad comments, I know it is a monster! You can read the whole story on my blog. www.unobtanium-inc.com click on blog Attached thumbnail(s)

The shifter is going to be the weird part. If I don't move it I will
probably look like I am playing with myself lap after lap! |

Fondle yourself to victory! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/w00t.gif) What about a cable shifter setup? That way, you could move it to the side easily ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Andy |

Yup, we are booth C 6-7 at Hershey this year, FREE gift bags for anyone
who stops by. Also, since everyone will probably ask, I am running this car in the 24 Hours of Lemons race. |

Andy mentioned a cable shifter...Great idea. Pedals could be handled just as easily with a hydralic pedal assembly. I have seen a few teeners here that have converted to a slave cylinder for clutch actuation. Looks like fun.

Glad someone bought it and is fixing it up.
Like I stated in the other thread; a cable shifter, a 3.6 and some cleaned up body work could make this a REALLY cool car. |
