Emory 2.6 liter motor - 200 HP

That has to be fake news. Steve’s car is to fine to break down.

You mean Polo motor. http://www.polomotor.com/

Emory puts them in cars, but Dean Polopolus builds them.

I read up on the story on #172 - quite the history of discovery and and restoration. I've got the magazine with the story about it here somewhere....

It is Dave’s old car. Still lives in Seattle and owned by Chris Downing who is here at Rennsport.

V6 motors from Porsche for F1, one in a 930

Saw Eric and talked about his awesome new calipers

Sandy's 914-6, only 914 in overflow parking. We now have a proper 914 parking pass.

My favorite 959, I think there are 12 of them there.

Are you there Andrew? Did you drive Buddy down there?

I made it to the 101 with Keith and then the motor died. Pull over for 5 minutes, then it would start right up and go another mile. Rinse and repeat. I tried a spare DME relay, but it didn’t help. Towed the car back home, grabbed the Toyota and drove back to Rennsport. I just got to the hotel.

This makes me smile!!

Marty,

This picture eerily reminds me of Harald Von Keszycki. Now its your turn.

When he built the Monster 914 the Porsche factory guys were all over him and his car really gave it a going over. Coming from the aerospace industry they took him very seriously including Ferry himself. Porsche was having issues with the turbo 2.1 baby motor and on a few occasions Haralds car blew by some of those factory cars like they were standing still. Haralds car once sorted was actually fairly reliable whereas the factory cars were running stratospheric boost and coming apart between the heads and barrels. They resorted later to welding the heads to the cylinders to remedy that problem.

Nothing beats American ingenuity. I suppose the air jacks supports hanging down under the back of your car (If that's what those are?) may have caught someone's attention in the neighboring tent. Those guys aren't smiling. Maybe they are thinking the 1.5 liter TAG motor may have not been the best idea after all?

Nice work buddy.

We Germans smile on the inside ...

VIN Number: 0011

The car does not have the normal VIN number plate on the pillar.

Poster says body, engine and trans are all matching #11.

Tony is a member here. He also has a 914-6 GT that he drives on the street.

There’s a red one
And a green one
And a white one
And a silver one
And they’re all rebuilt by Canepa
And they all go very fast...

Is a build thread on this monster?

Jackstands. Not just for 914s.

Interesting car. Sounded like a Six as it left.

Interesting copilot for the interesting car.
