Here is the 914/6 2.7 at it's maiden track appearance:



Eddie

Eddie,

What kind of flares are those? Is the front qtr fully removeable? I LIKE!

Eddie,
I'd like to see some detail photos of your fastening method. I've got some quarters and fenders I want to attach that way.

thanks!

y'all showed my yours, now its my turn to show mine.

sorry if you don't like the watercooler, you'll just have to get over it.

Nice place. My bf has on his beater toyota truck 2XLR8

Jen

well we dyno'd the cobra at 439rwhp sae before installing the chip.

It should be over 450rwhp now, thats about 535 at the flywheel.

Its no beater and will EXCLR8 fast enough for y'all.

the latest addition...'72 truly rust free virgin ...check out the hubcaps

more to follow

here are the hubcaps

and the jack in the trunk - has even the little rubber thingy

Freedom,
nice car, but,
what's the windshield washer pump doing in your rear trunk?

Andy

what pump - that's the jack!

Here's the washer hose...

i think he was referring to the green car that was posted a few days back.

is your screen-name "Freedom" ???

i thought i clearly addressed a different person in my post ...
Andy

ooops = sorry

Theols car is a dead ringer for PPickerells car. Both of them are identical in color and striping. I have one here at the shop same.. color no stripes.


B

Andy I am suprised you haven't mentioned anything about the red GT look front hood vent, on page 58 from "Vintageporscheguy"
but then maybe you better wait until B is gone.
CCLINFORDGT

yupp, i was keeping a low profile

that's pretty damm close to what i want to do, maybe just a bit bigger as i still plan to put in a 3.6 one day, which needs a lot of oilcooler.
but other than that, i think this is THE way to go

"Vintageporscheguy", can you post some closeup pictures of that front hood vent?
please ...
Andy

Picture of my 914 on Jan. 22, 2004


Now a picture of it on March 6, 2004

nice job on the cleanup!

I agree! SCHWEETT!

JPigg34, Hey, that's a great before and after pic. That's exactly what I like. Turn a piece of ---- into a piece of 914. It's not necessary to have fuch's, and all the right stuff. Just have the will to make it the best it can be. Keep up the good work and, "carry on".

Curt.

well...here is my latest addition...73 dirver....1.7 w/webers....
pics of my 73 2.0 will follow as soon as it comes home...
Ed

JPigg34,
Very impressive, very quick turn around!!

eresener,
very nice car!!

Here are some progress shots of the "Dirt Cheap Racing" Eddie, Walt, Harry & Mark's 914/6 conversion track/street car.

Remember Eddie found this car in San Jose back in Dec...It made it's first track debut last Monday here in Seattle (many more to come)...

first few nights in Ed's garage.


After a Sunday paint/plamsa cutter/beer session in W Seattle.


As she sits today with the newly glassed and painted 916 bumper (thanks Walt) and "new" to us fiberglass front hood (thanks Steve)...



More updates to come...Thanks for the bandwidth.

I like those flares.

mseiferth?
What happened to the original fiberglass front?
Was it a Imsa type?(I don't really know what's it called)

We are not sure about the source of the rear fiberglass fender flairs and the front fiberglass fenders. I'll check through the receipts and see if I can find anything. The previous owner attached the rears with screws, and then bonded and blended. We have subsequently cut away as much steel as possible using a plama cutter (without melting the fiberglass ... too much). The PO (previous owner) installed the front FG fenders over the existing steel fenders after the steel fender lips were cut away. They were held on with Dzus fasteners. The fit was pretty poor since a lot of metal was left along the mounting surfaces. I cut away ALL of the steel front fenders. I left the door jambs, rocker panels, hood lips, and bumper mounts. We then mounted Dzus fastener angle brackets to the jambs and bumper mounts. I did the easy part ... making all the sparks with the plasma cutter. Mark and Walt did the tough part ... fitting and refitting and refitting the fenders and mounting brackets.

Since we are not using the pop-up headlights, the 916 type bumper works well with the OEM for lights. I will the try the Auto Zone driving lights ... they have got to better than 30 year old foglights.

We still have the IMSA style front end and might use it if the 916 bumper allows the front end to get too light at speed. Any idea where we can get the rubber lip to add to the bototm of the spoiler?

We'll get some pics posted of the mounting.

Thanks

Eddie

exactly what i have been thinking about.

not rubber, but FG instead. i'm planning on getting a donor FG front spoiler with a nice lower lip and cut that off and attach it to the bottom of the 916 bumper. it'll even have room for brake cooling intakes ...

a pic of a possible donor spoiler (hi ninefourteener )



this is a artist rendering of the proposed idea, green would be the added lip and yellow the brake duct air intake:

Eddie answered your question in the post below your original...

Andy, because this car will see dual duty (street/track) we think the rubber will survive longer than a fiberglass lip...

Any idea where we can find such rubber??
IIRC some of the '80's mopars used it and maybe even some Mitsu's from that era.

at the gardening isle at home depot. divider for plant beds.

more seriously tho, i have no idea ...
Andy

Why not use Dzus fastners on the bumper as well?
That way you can swap the 916 and IMSA bumpers for street or track duty

Otherwise, the rubber lip/spoiler from an impact bumper 911 might work

cheers,

Jeroen

Hey Vintageporscheguy. (Bro)

Nice blurry pic. and isn't that an OLD one? Glad to see you finally made it on here. I thought you said you couldn't log in? Glad you worked through that. You really should POST a few pics of your hood vent (and also your through the hood gas cap) they are both trick.

You should also get done with that car....

Johnman

here is a pic I took of John Jenz, who I met today.
Nice silver 74 2.0L that had MPS problems...

Geoff

damnit Geoff, lose the cell phone and use your nikon!

I don't always carry the Nikon with me, the cell phone is always in my pocket

Thanks for posting the pic Geoff It was a pleasure to meet you and to drive your car. Those streets are spooky weird! The difference was night and day with that other MPS as I got on to I5. Again, thanks alot and I look forward to seeing you and other 914 types next week . John

Wait until you see the pics of what the inside of a AA rebuilt MPS looks like!

Geoff

Just getting ready for a run!

Here's my 914. It has a high compression 3.2, 930s all the way around, coil overs, front mount oil cooler, full cage, etc, etc. The first picture is the car before I repainted this past year (and rebuilt the engine).

Very nice dudes !

Welcome pesky and carrera!

Btw, that's a remote camera mount where the turn signal would normally be. It's really cool for track use.

That's Pesky!

First post!

My '73 2.0L

BAD ASS CAR, mudfoot!!
