That pic doesn't show the half of it! How about when she was driving in that shit doing 80 with no top(on the car biggrin.gif ) and no back window. Liz is the real deal!

Got a phone cord end to make a longer line for my Hot Lap in-car timer.

Need parts for your track car? Home Depot.

KT,

that phone cord doesn't have the correct wire order.
you will have to cut one end off and reverse the order.
with a standard cord, the timmer will display a new lap every 5 seconds.

I read the instructions biggrin.gif

I even tested the thing, as my TV remote control would trigger it unsure.gif

Interesting....the older ones....I have one of them...
You had to change the order on the phone cord to make it work correctly...maybe the newer ones are different...I have had mine over 10 years. dry.gif

Agreed Dan,

I have 2 of the early style and am in the process of having a custom cord made right now for one of them...

hmm.. must of changed.

Hey Chappy,

That Kart looks very scary fast. Twin cylinder two stroke. How big was the engine and how fast was it on the straights? I bet north of 110mph.......

By the way Brant...from what I hear....Orange 914s are fastest whether they are 4 or 6 cylinder biggrin.gif I think that racerChris would agree also smile.gif

They stopped making 914/6's cuz they DIDN'T SELL. They sat on the docks waiting to a smuck to buy them here in the USA with that wimpy 110hp six.
Joe Bob
They didn't sell because they were priced right below the 911...VW's new CEO fucked them on the body pricing as they controlled the contract with Karmann......the original handshake agreement between Porsche and VW wasn't honored.

Bill,
90cc Mcculloch running Nitrobenzene oil 2 stroke said to of been clocked at 165 MPH but I think closer to 140's BIR straight 110 single engine( front end got light on me once and lifted the front few inches, that was scary)The number panel on the front was my only downforce. Enduro Kart was geared real low as I weighed nothing back then but it still burned a lot of clutch getting started. I was to young to compete with the twin engine setup but ran them in practice events.
You can understand why I eventually ended up with a 914 turbo monster.

I sold it to the sister of a boy with cancer for a few hundred bucks, It was his dream to have a Kart like this.

Many years later I saw it at a Minneapolis Custom car show.

Didja hear about the penguin who took his car to the mechanic?
After a few minutes the mechanic walked up to the penguin and said "it looks like you blew a seal".
The penguin wiped off his chin and said "no, I just ate some ice-cream".

I'm a little late to join the /6 vs. /4 debate. I say neither are any good. That is, aircooled Porsche 6 or VW type 4. They are old, and pretty much across the board have been outdone in the decades since they were originally designed.

Its like having a debate between vinyl record players and 8-track tape players. Sure they have that unique sound, but what good are they anymore really? (aside from the real purists)

For $15,000 you can probably make an 8 track sound pretty close to a good record player, and a $15,000 record player will probalby sound as good as or maybe better than a CD player. But at some point you ask, what would a $15,000 CD player sound like?

So I'm not going to debate which is better because I say they are both irrelevant.

Here's a good one... Listen to Money from Dark Side of The Moon on Vinyl, CD, and MP3. The sound of the coins dropping is really 'noise' and shows the surprising difference between these three technologies. Vinyl seems to capture it best, with CD sound very close, and MP3 sounding just horrible (by comparison).

Dude! biggrin.gif That is the pre-eminent album to listen to on LP! Not only the coins, but the nature reverb from being recorded in concert hall. Computers don't quite know what to make of it, and it all gets lost in translation -

Yep. I would give em away.

I saw a pink floyd concert on TV recently, I don't think i would be able to stay awake for the whole show.
reminded me of Led Zepplin's "song remains the same" movie. I went to see it about 10 times at teh midnight showing when i was younger (much younger). i wass a big Zep fan, but I don't think i ever stayed awake through the entire show. It was just more piled higher and deeper. After 10 minutes you've seen it all, now you just get to sit there and see it a hundred more times. Kinda like a NASCAR race.
I don't use drugs tho. Maybe if I did it would be better.......
