Heard a rumor Securing a battery with the stock clip and bolt to a stock battery tray welded to the inner fender well would not be adequate and a metal strap over the battery would be required. Is this so?
Also I heard cast aluminum wheels were not acceptable because of a higher rate of failure. WE need to know if changes will have to be made. Hate to drive all the way down and have to watch. Besides you guys need to see the show I can put on. I can be entertaining. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Dave |

Dave.. if you have a stock battery hold down in place you will be fine.
You are standing a chance that one of the club members here will be tech'ing the cars. I cant speak about the wheels.. but I HIGHLY doubt their will be an issue. The tech'ing will be based on your license plate (meaning that out of state people will get a unspoken *easier* tech) The last GGR event (Alameda) they are checking basically for pieces of shit that will break in a corner. Not nice cars like yours. If the wheel bearings are tight and the battery has a decent hold down.. your IN. Side note: they let people slide with *slightly* loose 914 rear wheel bearings since some of the new ones may have play in them. B |
