I've seen this car in person & sat in the passenger seat for half a day at WCR a few years back. This car is in excellent shape. The motor has some serious pull to it as well. Fastest 914 type 4 I have ever ridden in aktion035.gif
sgetsiv
Thanks Jamie. It's significantly faster and smoother with the 48mm spanish webers as well. The EMPI 44mm's just weren't enough.

Prob the fastest 4 (street) I've ever ridden in. Nice car. GLWTS Steve.
Bobby Smith
Very nice build. Does the car have an oil cooler? If so, what kind and where? Are the 48 carbs to large? I used to run a 2.6 with 40's and a 2.8 with 45's. Thanks.

I rode in this car at the WCR at The Dalles; what a great ride. Steve did a great job putting this car together. Wish I had the extra $$$$

Raby's are the Shiznit! Add a damn nice car = Nice! first.gif

Yes, the car has an oil cooler mounted under the rear trunk, above the transmission. Not sure of the brand - it was something I picked up from Summit Racing. It also runs incredibly cool - CHT rarely above 270 F.

IMHO, the 48mm carbs vastly outperform the 44mm's with this engine. I have a big selection of jets and mains and spent months fine tuning the AFR for best performance.

Those aluminum wheels look great on that car. Also like the seat belts. smoke.gif

Bump for Winter Price.
Jake Raby
Steve, hate to see this one leave you... FWIW- The engine today would be around 22,500.00 to recreate. Build time is 1 year.
ChristopherB
"FWIW" equals a whole hell of a lot! Well, that was a great piece of information for the lucky person that gets to purchase this car!. If building this engine takes one year and 22K, this car is a real find.
rhodyguy
Yep, and The suspention parts would prob run close to $2k new if not more. In their boxes.

I can hardly wait for it to stop raining (or snowing) in Portland. Need to get Scarlett out on the street for some fun. She's been cooped up all Winter long...

1.7 originally

New price. $23k

It does have an oil cooler mounted under the rear trunk - has a fan with temp switch on it as well. Yes, it would be better up front but that's lot of extra plumbing.

The car doesn't have heat but Tangerine will build a heat exchanger for these headers for $489. Just sayin'.

NICE engine....Raby built me two TWIN PLUG engines years ago...they were monsters.

I have the same Raby 2.3L as you in my current 914-GT...just love the pull and sound.

Had a firm offer at $21K just recently and then the buyer disappeared. The weather is great up here in Portland (finally) and I would really like to get the car sold this Summer so I have a place for my next project.
mepstein
great car. Probably cost $ X 2 or 3 to build.
sgetsiv
Sold. Thank you for all the compliments on the car and all the good times as well.
rhodyguy
Well done steve. Surprised it took so long.
