Scott and Chris are both very good friends. And good drivers.

Will ya look at this.........
Sideways, one hand on the wheel, & waving at the cone chasers with the other.
I always figured you track guys were smooth operators, but this....golly

thanks JP

beautiful shots, dan -- your car looks great...

my only thought -- are you getting enough suspension travel running it that low?

Not getting any bottoming at this point. Car has been on Sears point, BW and Th along with AX at Alameda with no suspension bottoming out.

I have had 4 914s and all of them have been this low....with the same basic suspension set up.

Never had any issues with suspension travel.

I realize you have a lot of 914 experience. the car looks good -- very flat. I had my car as low as yours, but ended up raising it a bit when i measured how much (how little) suspension travel i was really getting. car actually feels better a little (not much) higher.

gone

in 7 at Sears.

Gee, Trekkor's car looks pretty low to me?

Especially the front end.

Maybe he was braking in the middle of the corner, which is why he is behind in the second picture.

No, Trekkor was not braking in the middle of the corner. I was instructing in his car when that picture was taken...he was passed because he has a stock 2.0L6 and Gregs car has a very nice 2.4L S motor that has a 8K redline. Greg was also shlepping around 185#s less weight, and Trekkor is still on the learning curve.

I was just kidding and poking a little fun at Trekkor. I certainly wasn't serious.

I know...just giving a little background. It is always fun to kibitz about track stuff.
But this time I was there....

I thought this thread was for pictures?

Thunderhill, 108 deg.

another...

Took these last year.

Here's the latest. some seriously sexy wheels huh?

do these pictures have to be mid engined?

After the fire.

thats neat looking...
are those metal bumpers welded on?
and big crash bars?

pretty colors.

brant

Yes, it was raced on a local redneck dirt oval before I got it. They welded everything to everything. It had wire mesh for windows, and 2 pieces of steel welded on as a roof, and big dirt tires. You can still smell the budweiser on a hot day. LOL.

I think it looks cool.
and I love the colors.
what does she weigh with all of the extra welding and metal?

Thanks for the compliments.
The colors were a matter of what paints I could get really cheap when I boult the car. The blue was some baby blue left over from a beetle of my dad's that never got painted, and I intentionally didn't stir it up enough, leaving some of the heavier white toner on the bottom of the can, but I didn't have enough paint, so I bought some green that my former employer had left over from some serv-pro janitorial trucks that he had repaired and painted, $20.00 for that, plus hardener. I wanted bright colors because a team that I had pitted for before I built my car had a silver 911 with a black wing. Well there was 3 911's there like that, silver with a black wing, and nobody could figure out which was which unless they were on the front strait.
I've changed alot of stuff since I last weighed it, it was 1855lbs then, I think it's probably 125lbs more now. keep in mind that there are no mouldings or trim of any kind, the doors are only skins with 6oz. latches, no handles, no latches anywhere else, no lights but an oil light and brake lights, most of the wire harness is gone, etc., etc. It's mostly just a shell with an engine, cage, fuel cell, fire system, and brakes. I'm going to corner balance and align it in the next couple of weeks, then I'll know for sure.
Funny how I'll spend alot of time and money to take 10# off of my car, but I'll be damned if I do anything to take 10# off of my gut.
