QUOTE(SirAndy @ Jun 25 2007, 02:09 AM)  oh, the joy of having a running car again ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) i know "you can never have enough power" but for now, i'm more than happy with how the car feels & drives. i got *plenty* of power through all gears, once it hits the cams, it's just ripping until it hits the rev limiter. and still wants to go at that point ... i've gotta be careful, having over 1000 lbs less to schlepp around than a stock 993, that motor seems like a real handful in a 914. today, on the way back from napa, i took the 37 onramp (nice radius that gets a bit tighter towards the end), feathered in throttle coming out of the turn and then went down to full throttle (i was already in 4th) and BAM, rear goes a bit sideways, i stay on the throttle and correct with the steering and by the time the car is straight again, i'm already hitting 100 ...

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Andy I was thinking of doing the same to mine, 916 not the Targa part, especially since it needs to be replated. Did you replate after you cut & did you use solder to join? Oh by the way, I (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) your 900 ccs' over mine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) |

did my first *real* drive today. drove all the way out to modesto/ceres to drop off some parts at Orange914's place ...
~180 miles roundtrip @ ~6 gallons of gas, that comes out to ~30 mpg ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Andy PS: while driving, the temps stay right around 180. while sitting intraffic in the central valley heat, it went up to 200 ... not bad at all. |

Andy,
FABULOUS JOB! You too McMark! I did not see any pics of the ducting for front oil cooler. Did I miss the pics in the 13 pages of postings? My poor little 3.2 now seems so meager compared to your big burley 3.6! 1800 lbs! Wow! That is skinny with the 3.6. I must have heavy gas in the tank in my teener. My teener is still about 2050 lbs with fiberglass decks and front fenders. Great Job! Eddie |
