For any of you not aware of the #3 car, click on my sigs below for more info- it started out as a "fix it up, buff it up" project, not so much a restoration as a rescue, fixing and restoring as I could afford. Took it to a PCA concours- that was a bit of a mistake, finished 3rd in class, but what a bunch of Qtip wankers! (there IS a place in the world for the show and shine crowd, just not my thing). Discovered autocross, and was hooked. That was in 1999. Since then, I'm on my third evolution of suspension, have added individual throttle bodies and SDS efi to control them, and last season, turbocharged the little beastie. (yes, I know, YOU CAN'T TURBO A 914). But I did anyway. This season I'm co-driving a lotus 7 replica, a Birkin, helping the owner tune the mega squirt, and getting his suspension set up, and building a new motor for the 914 with a bunch of good Jake parts and Len's heads to support a little more un-natural aspiration. If you go to youtube and search turbo 914 you'll find a little more of the car in action. A few more pics:
