Okay this is the car in all its glory ugly as heck, but hey its an auto-x car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif) This one is from my first season of auto-x with this car.



Heres what it looks like today. Made it even uglier (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)



Here is the goal, I can sketch ideas, but I can not draw at the level of others on this forum. Thank you 914 Visulizer. and my black pen. Now if I could find a good front view. And the flares are not on the car since I'm not using GT Flares.



But you get the general idea.

I have my plans still trying to figure out what I want to do. In reality the turbo is easier than the supercharger I was thinking about. I could mock it up, and do one, a twin scroll might be the way to go (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Biggest issue is compression E85 helps with that, as would methanol injection. The intercooler gets to be an issue.

Air to Water
Air to Air in engine compartment, maybe even STI sprayer
Air to Air like Marty's car, in the rear trunk. I would like to have trunk space as I would like to drive the 914 all over the US and Canada.
Also would like to be able to ice it down, for auto-x and track events. Or if I feel like seeing if I can get into the 10s on the strip.

I think I could run the stock engine with a low boast level as long as I used tricks to keep the pistons from melting.

Okay back to progress.

Last night, I spent cleaning, and mocking up cuts, and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Steam cleaner did an excellent job
.

To use the GT head light cable setup, you have to cut an additional slit in the head light bucket.

So I marked up one side waiting on the water to come up to steam. Used the plate on one side to set my inner dimension.



Used a Nut to set the other side, it just wider than the bolt that holds the latch mechanism.


Scribed the final line, ~3/8" wide, make it easier to round the corners.



I then steamed some more.



I then worked on the triangles getting them more in shape than they where.



Thats it for now, off to read up on twin scroll turbos. :evil grin: Also thinking that maybe a pressure washer blast, would get me part of the quicker. The caked on stuff steam does a good job on, seems like a waste to wait for steam, when part of it is just years of dirt. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I guess I could run it into the big city, and get it steamed that the Freightliner dealer.
