Targa California pics - April 8-10, 2010; fun event but make sure you bring your horsepower if you want to run with the pack!

Finally got the car back from JWE! I put on the new graphics yesterday. What do you think? Also note the new hood crest, engine cover pins, new look to shifter boot and new screens in front storage. New YouTube video coming soon.

Just received the attached pics. Now the water lines (and brake and fuel lines and the shift cable) are fully protected AND I have just a little more room in the front! It will be time-intensive to remove the cover on the "tunnel" if necessary, but I really doubt I'll have to do that very often! More work being done re: lowering, corner balancing, alignment, some exterior cosmetic changes, minor repairs etc. Stay tuned, more pics to follow.

Well its that time of the year again! Gotta get in some road time! I'm on the short list at a well-known local racing prep shop to get the cooling hoses re-routed and a few other mods. I was having trouble with scraping of the water hoses and I sure don't want to worry about that!

I decided to loose the windshield decal - prefer the cleaner look. BTW - thanks to Dave D. for the pic from the concours - I was so busy looking at all the cars I forgot I had a camera! In case you were wondering, since my car doesn't have a Porsche engine, it was a "Display Only " entry.
I'm considering re-doing the Fuchs to have satin or possibly polished "paddles" like the attached 914/6 wheel pic. What do you think?

Finally got around to taking some pics of the new GT-style engine cover - thanks for the idea Dan! Sergio did a great job! Looks fantastic and helps keep the turbo intercooler (and the engine) cooler!

First autox outing for 914AROO. My times were mediocre at best, my son beat me by about 8 seconds; still learning he car. I did recover nicely from a spin though!

Well the car is at full speed now; 15lbs of boost - whoopee! A few pics from Ledson PCA concours. Note the dirty knees from being an interior judge! Planning on making it to the season's last autox on the 29th.

Just took some pics at home today; I'm sure I'll be taking more at the upcoming German AutoFest next week.

Had a great time today. Big crowd and tons of Italian "trash". My car got a lot more attention that my 911 did last year. 914AROO's color got their notice and then when they saw the engine, lots of questions followed. Way too many pictures taken of a huge variety of cars! Attached are a few of mine and some other interesting ones including a F40 that just got back from a 221mph run at Bonneville (salt still attached as it was trailered) and a twin turbo'd "3002ttii". Note the crowd around the blue car and no crowd around the taildraggers (I'm the guy in the 914Club hat)!!
