Been a lot of phone calls, etc and in fact I UPS'd my starter to them to verify fitment. My big issue was how in the hell I am going to mount a starter on the transaxle that doesn't hang way below the car (an inverted VW/Porsche bellhousing puts the starter at 6 o'clock on my car and means I would be dragging the solenoid on the ground).
Then they had this puppy left in stock - apparently they only made a couple of them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) just moves the starter to the other side of what I have. sssooooo, the sequential dog geared monster transaxle just might be a go for me!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) Laid under the car last night to make sure it looks like it will work, and this thing might be "money"! He is going to take some pix with my starter installed today as a final verification - if it all looks good then "it's on". My current setup... notice starter should just move to the drivers side but remain parallel to ground I'm sorta gloating I know... but I have literally talked to them for 4 yrs now on and off waiting for them to get an LSD setup that I liked, etc etc and this trans apparently is using the same LSD style as the Vipers and so forth. Don't even ask price... OMFG am I gonna pay for this one for awhile (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif) but will look like this smiley the whole time I am driving it (notice only pulls shifter in one direction, no mo' H crap) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/MDB2.gif) And got my new Excellence last night - the same day I got the pic above - and page 161 = Going Sequential (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) It's a sign from God hhahaha (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

Tim,
your a fine driver I just think that someone who has built 20-40 race cars has things (hardware, software, and setup) figured out pretty well! When AJ tells me about how something works... he is always right these are definitely not the new track but I went to the PCA results page for club racing these guys are allowed more tire than vintage is allowed (it always shows up in tire size) ta-da: 1:35.542 Thomas Van Overbeek 2001 GT3 CUP Race 9/18/2005 1:36.334 Paul Fairchild 1996 993 TT Qualifying 9/14/2003 1:36.517 Skip Sauls 2001 996 GT3 CUP Practice/Warmup 9/18/2005 1:36.572 Paul Gutowski 1975 911 Qualifying 9/18/2005 1:37.148 David Banazek 1973 RSR Qualifying 9/17/2006 1:38.185 Greg Curtiss 914 (2.8/6) Qualifying 9/18/2005 1:38.490 Richard Winnick 1987 944 TURBO Practice/Warmup 9/13/2003 1:39.540 Kim Gutowski 1995 993 Practice/Warmup 9/11/2004 1:40.032 Allen Johnsen 73 914-4 (2.2/4) Practice/Warmup 9/13/2003 1:40.882 Tony Clinton 71 914-6 (2.2/6) Qualifying 9/12/2004 I would agree that the track is getting rougher and slower There were no records set in 2007, although attendance was way down and nobody showed up... There was no race there this year (2008) only the last 2 cars are AJRS, but a 914-4 (2.2) versus a 911 GT3 (3.8?) cup race car and only 4.5 seconds difference? plus you need to know that this particular 2.2/4 now has 4-6 race years on it and only 205hp at the flywheel (with a 901 active 2nd tranny and quaiffe) I tell you there is something to the Torque biasing diff on little motors I'm convinced that the locker is better above 300hp, but people have it all wrong about the quaiffe on 914's being an autox only diff. you've got to respect allen johnson's time in a measly 4 cylinder this was around the same year that he took that car to laguna seca and beat Rich Bonetempi by 10 seconds a lap! all the CA guys called foul and thought he was cheating... he wasn't |
