There are other venues than AX JP ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) How is the Stang going? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neZ5QuZxFR4 And this 500hp LS (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-11316-1339382220.jpg) The 914 is a great platform to stuff most any engine in. Only limited by your supply of $$$ |

[quote name=There are other venues than AX JP ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) How is the Stang going? Been working on the braking & handling for a few months......hp is not a solution there either. It was an evil handling SOB. If I can get it to handle, ride, & brake as well as my 05 TRD Tacoma pickup, I'll be happy. A couple hundred pounds off the nose is doable. I have made some progress to that end. The front end & 4 wheel discs are done (I hope). but it is still up on blocks for the rear suspenders. Just got chased out of the shop by a cold snap while installing a Panhard bar in an attempt to get the leaf springs under control. Compared to the flexi flier 914 chassis , it is a POS. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) It won't be an the ground with a new motor till late April/early May. Then I can see how much good I did. |
