Two of everything. One for you and one for me. I figure since you bought me a motor, you may as well buy all the other stuff for me too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

So, it wouldn't be fun without a little adventure right?

The trucking company showed up in Long Island this morning without a liftgate and had to dispatch another truck with a liftgate to pick up the 3.2 engine. So now, the wait begins. I am told 4-5 days transit time. They never deliver on the weekends so I am thinking Thursday or more likely Friday. Friday creates a problem because McMark isn't open on Friday or Saturday. So I have my fingers crossed that they will make it by Thursday!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

3.2 came today. I'm not sure how we're going to fit two turbos and a supercharger on this thing.

Jeff,
With my corner-balanced 'autocross' alignment, it already darts about like a go-kart. They will come off for any competition event. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Keeping Andy happy is high on your priorty list? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Just get some proper wheels to fill the holes without an increasing scrub radius. You're gonna need em' eventually to mount enough tire for a 3.2L. Spacers up front will f*** up your steering.

How long you been up to this 914 stuff? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif)

I thought that wheels that "filled the holes" would by definition move the scrub radius out?

I mis-spoke.....wrote?
An 8 inch wide Fuch has about the same backspace of the stock 5.5 inch wheel.
That will move the scrub radius out about 1.25 inches which is not excessive for the 914....but damn close to the edge. If you start out with 7 inch wheels, then add 28 mm(1.12 in) you step over the line.

For the record, if JP got the death penalty he would complain if they weren't going to hang him with a new rope... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Naaa, he would complain that the rope was 1.5" too long and that would make it harder for him to wiggle around while trying to make sharp turns with his neck ...

For the record, unless my bank calls me and says John's check can fly, he is the proud owner of the only Raby kit 2432 in existence...

Congratulations and thanks! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Looking for parts for this project has me hyper-vigilant. I found a Quaife TBD unit with a few hundred miles on it for my 915. I got it for about half what a new one would cost and free shipping.
My plan for the 915 is to do the usual stuff, WEVO, flip and set it up for the 3.2 speedometer. But since I destroyed a couple gears, I'll have to hunt them down and replace them. Once I do find them, I plan on having them lightened just as PRS914-6 did on his. I'll use stock gearing as it will be primarily a street car with trips to the track and autocrossed on weekends.

McMark is working on a shopping list for me for a Patrick Motorsport order. I have decided to go with MSDS headers. I need advice on a muffler though from you guys that have BTDT...

SCORE!

Just found a reproduction 914-6 GT oil cooler new for $300. That's $188 less than new!
