Chris' and Harry's 500+ hp / ZF transaxle beasts are coming out to play. Tentative plans are to meet 8:00 AM in Milptas, chat, and drive to Dublin Hooters...

We need to plan a track day at ThunderHIll.

Post, PM, call, or email me by Friday...

Short notice!

Sorry, but I'll have to miss another one.. going to the R&G swap down south this weekend.

I'm determined to make it to one of these V8 meets SOMEDAY..

Too little notice.. dont think I can make it..

This invitation is for ANY Porsche conversion...

IDA's, Indy headers, and a ZF - whats not to like?

:drool:

gotta work sunday.... saturday is better.... =-) even then i'm having clutch disengagement issues... gotta yank the trans....

He didn't end up with the Webers as much as he'd like to...

Too little? my car isn't ready yet either.

Next time, if there is one...

Here you go...

To little notice for work.... I need at Least 2 weeks... and they laugh when I ask for weekends... I got a bad situation at work and im getting out.. (no store manager, one assistant, district manager running the store.. he could care less, people quiting.. we should have a store manager 2 asistants and 9 shift leaders.. we have 1 asistant and 6 shift.. 5 when I leave..)


I would go in a heartbeat... but I think I work till 3am that morning and work at 4pm that day...

Andrew

Don't you ever have an "eye" problem? Can't "see" going into work?

When I was your age I could get by with 4 hours sleep

BTW, a heavily modified GT40 replica may be joining as well as a new RENNTech Vette or Ferrari...

CAV, yes webers!

stop making me want to quit work!

Will they be at the track event? (the non 914 cars..)

Andrew

follow the moneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey



There's an outside chance the new owner of "peal" will show up. He traded Scott a 215 V8 914 and lots of cash for it...

Hey Felix, when did Chris do that to his 914? It’s been some time since I have spoken to him. Wish I could come and play with you all.

Felix, do you know what transaxle that purdy Ford uses? =-)

Roger

I will by Sunday

He paid alot to a well known engine builder for his new engine. He added the cross over headers, jet coated, and just installed them. I think he also reducted his radiator exhaust through the hood like Bill's car...

WOW, thanks for the update. What is his HP output at now?

Looks like a Audi transaxle to me. I've seen 2 GT40 kit cars using audi boxes. Notice the angle the half shafts are running. I saw the new superorfance GT40 kit car this weekend. 70K for a rolling car with no transaxle or engine and looks like it worth every penny of it.

Bob

Not going to be able to make this meet, but are these generally V8 events, or can any non-porsche motors join?

Fiid,

My intent is to organize all conversions, Porsche's V8's initially. The very first event had 944 V8's show up and the second included 911 V8's. Now that Subaru conversions have taken off and I have an Audi V6tt, we can share and support the transplant "madness" We have similar goals and challenges...

Paul,

He was supposed to dyno it last week but I doubt he did because Harry was going to meet him there and drop by my place afterwards...

I just tried to call him but his wife said he was in the middle of

Last call, let me know if you're coming...

Tentative meet location is In-N-Out Burger in McCarthy Ranch at ~8:00. I was going to use my company's lot but the security is not too friendly. We even got hassled at the Great Mall once.

I'll confirm later today.

Meet: 8:00AM
Chat, check out the cars for an hour or so and
In-N-Out Burgers in Milpitas
If you're coming down from 880, make sure you take the Mcarthy exit AFTER 237 West.

*Destination:
~11:00
Hooters

*Destination and route subject to change, leave your cell number if you plan on meeting us in Dublin.

We'll probably have as many non-Porsche cars. What's up with that?

Sorry.. this one will just have to live without me...

take uber lots of pictures.. Especially of Chris's hood exhaust for the rad...

Andrew


On a side note, Im FINALLY finishing my drivers seat mout... after 3 days of working on it... (that looks about right, Dad come try it. Nope still to high.. grind grind, weld weld.. Hey dad! nope.. grind grind.. weld weld.... grrrrrr dad needs to be shorter.. or get a low cut racing helmet...)

Anyone back yet?

Pics!!!!

Yo Neccecito` Pics!

Not the CAV but the Ledger GT, a completely new tube chassis car "loosely" built on a Valryke? kit car.

Before you post puke smilies, the car has a 700hp prof built engine, cross over headers, ZF transaxle. Tube chassis was rebuilt 3 times, the recent one on jigs. Jeff did most of the chassis and body work himself...

Attention to detail was extreme and it lead his class at ThunderHill except for one outing with Elmer's Bauer built 914 V8...

Nick and his son came from SF

Chris' Beast seemed "tame" along Jeff's and Harry's rides if you can believe that.

Dennis brought his 2 week old Z06 to show what modern technology compares with home built road and track cars...

Jeff has one too. They both had/have Cobra replicas too...

Nice 7L 500 hp dry sump aluminum engines and available for $13k to boot!

More pics.. more pics!!!

Andrew

Harry's purple Beast. He finally registered with the club as "Cali914" but has yet to post. He drove his cousin to build the "ultimate" 914 V8 (BTW apparently was one of Brad's V8 cars?).

On 680 to Dublin, they slowed down in a line and punched it. The sound of 3 of them were distinct and awesome. Sounded like "old" CAN AM race. The only downside with the Vette is it's well (street) muffled.

ok, hard to take pics over 100MPH, so

waiting for Hooters to open...

How did chris' car sound with the new exhaust?

Where's Chris' 914???

Day was not over, we visited Kassabian Motors down the street, lots of classic rods. Their sales guys were impressed...

I would love to see a video of these 4 cars and a 50 MPH rolling start ...

Who would cross 120 MPH first? Chris's?

VRRRROOOOMMMM!

Jeff and Harry said he "needs" less restrictive mufflers...

The one second to the left... lol 700hp?

The real question is which one would sound the best!

Jeff's car definately had the higher pitch so you can hear every shift and acceleration. He said the BMW and Miata's hates trailing him at the track because he's so loud. He doesn't hear much in the cabin.

Only a day at the track will tell. They all have ZF's with the same gearing but Jeff may have the edge on hp and weight. That body is completely fiberglass. If Elmer ever get's his car running reliably it would be a cool race or comparison.

Sound anything like a Zonda or carrera gt? or any of those super cars?

Thats what im looking for...

Cool pics. Cool cars!

Andrew

Felix, sorry I didn't make it. The eye was acting up last night. any body had Pterygium surgery?
