Posted this over in the Paddock, but more of you know me over here....
http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=206431 So we spent all winter fitting up a new decklid, wing, splitter, lightweight fiberglass roof, etc only to break a Carillo rod on the third lap out at the Roebling Road PCA race. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) No idea what happened, still working on that.... But here's a picture of Papa with his new clothes. They still need to be painted, no the exhaust is not for him (its from the M3 off to the right)...oh, and the engine is not in the car in this picture....yes, that's how stiffly sprung it is... ![]() |

Hey TC
While I would normally completely agree with you here, Armando (of CCR) came highly recommended by Gordon at Autometrics, Bill Rutner (Rutner Racing), Peter Dawes and others. He actually took very good care of me on the original work he did, and has vowed to help me out here. I can't say it was his fault to begin with. As I said, it could have easily been stressed rod or bolts, things he had nothing to do with. My engine builder/mechanic - Lou at Exclusive Motorwerks - is building it again free of charge with my help (I'm just paying for parts). I think he was as upset as I was that our weekend at Roebling was ruined. We came home late Friday night and he had the engine out and apart by Saturday morning because he couldn't sleep.... We'll see.... |
