Hi guys, have largely been lurking due to being 914-less for the last couple years. She's been at Aircooled Racing in PA getting a couple patch panels in the floor pans and lower firewall, a bare metal or primer up paint job, roll bar, 911SC flares, and a 2.7L six put in. I went to visit last week and took some pics. Some other goodies installed are 4 pot brembo (944T) calipers and carrera rotors up front, carrera calipers and rotors out back and konis all around. Thought folks might be interested.

Getting a Getty dash... Also notice, the sidebar from the roll bar for a little bit of side intrusion protection:

Sorry, we don't really like 914s here. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

Nice work and a nice car. A little hard to see the true color indoors (those pearl colors are always tricky). Can wait to see it in the sunlight.

Thanks for posting Gary. It appears Steve is doing a great job for you. Make sure you let Steve know we are here. I know he has about as much time as I do for this "crap" but he would benefit greatly by sharing some of his 914 knowledge with this group.

Nice car.

Yup,

Steve's a great guy - a really nice guy who's never been anything but honest with me. Also kept me out of trouble on some "out there" ideas too... He's got a cool collection of early 70's racing 911's and 914's. Great hobby, but I'm glad it's his and not mine, hehe.

I'll email him this link. Maybe he'll pop by. He's on the other coast near where I was stationed at the time. He's got a website: Aircooled Racing

I dont want to bust any bubbles here... but notice something about the cars pictured with the flares installed (SC) ?? None of them are sitting on the ground with a fat tire/wheel combo under the flare. The one and only SC flare conversion car running around here complained that the SC flare looked good, but didnt offer him much more room because of the "slope". Also.... RULES. JP knows about this. There is a reason why the GT factory look flares have the exact same 914 opening.

Just be careful and check your local rules for whatever class you *might* want to run in.

The car looks sweet, but *man* the webers look _clean_!

(can you tell I have weber-envy?)

Hey Scott,

If you're really interested, the body shop is about 1/2 hour east of Gettysburg. Depending on where you are in Maryland, they may be close... They did a great job: primer coat, 3 base coats, 2 pearl coats, 1 clear coat. I wouldn't bring the girls by; they seem to be a pretty upstanding shop.


Brad,

I'll post when the wheels and tires go on. I had 205's on 7X16's with the fender rolled a bit. Hoping for 245s on 8's. 225s would still be a big improvement.

Brad,

Haven't done the carbs yet. Got as far as collecting some names, but I've been a bit sidetracked. But it's time to get moving.

So you can do the throttle plate bushings now? (I'm assuming that the shafts/etc are still ok, but even if I have to source them, that shouldn't be a big problem)

In Gary's case, I just love seeing well polished webers.

kim.
