Well my 914/8 is on the road in anger so I guess it's time for an introduction. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/type.gif)
I've been lurking here for a little while, asking the occasional odd question. This is technically my third 914, though only the second one that ran. I have been playing with sportscars for about 9 years (I'll be 25 next month). Started with Datsun 240Z's and still have one (a 1970 F-Prepared Auto-X 914/6 eater). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) I always thought a 914 would make a fun street car so after a few wrong turns I ended up with my current hotrod. The car: Black 1974 914, originally a 1.8 911SC suspension and brakes Bilstien struts, monoballs on top, poly bushings (squeeky) and front sway bar. Boxed trailing arms, reinforced suspension points/rear shock towers flaired rear (not sure whos they are) Chevy ZZ3 Hi-Po crate engine w/ sanderson headers, HEI dizzy, and Holley mech. 650cfm rated at 358hp, 370 some odd Tq. 915 transaxle w/ Quaffe LSD Fuchs for the street, cookie cutters for the slicks Probably more I am forgetting... The nut behind the wheel: I live in Santa Rosa, CA (it's about an hour North of San Francisco) With my lovely girlfriend Debra and our two dogs (a boxer and a mut). I am an R.T.(T) which means I make my living as a Radiation Therapist (I treat cancer patients with high energy radiation). When I am not playing with sportscars I am riding motorcycles. Either my Kawasaki KDX220 dirtbike or my XR650RR Supermoto bike. (if you don't know what a supermoto is that's okay, look it up. Or better yet tune in to the X-games on ESPN this Sunday) I also am fortunate enough to live three blocks from a state park where I can ride my Specialized Epic mountain bike several times a week. Well, I guess that's it in a nutshell. I think I will try to make it to Alameda Sat. morning for the auto-x to give the /8 a shake down. I hope to put some faces with the names.
