Nine Fourteen Sex, The on going story of Love and Lust for a Machine. Options

[914 Ranch]

Trying to find motivation to keep her going and use her before I run out of time. I moved her to the workshop yesterday and today I put her transmission back in her. Need to change the gas tanks out as she has a 6 gallon tank in her now and I have a nice little 1.5 gallon tank for her. Only good for about 5 minutes of run time.

I backdated the picture because she looks totally deferent now. So I guess I should do that more often.



This picture is by Carl La Fong, sorry if I miss spelled it Carl. She has Carerror script on her side. At that time I had just decided to make her my race car.

While driving the freeways of LA dressed in that livery she was passed in her lane by 911's 3 times. No one takes the time to read Carerror they only see Carrera.

Carerror is back up on the stands and I am about to finish the details for start up.
She has about 100 laps on her and I have about 3 A/X's behind the wheel.
One of the hardest things I had to do was getting the tire temperatures within 10°. The 911 guys running the same tire were running 31 psi so that is where I started. She likes to swap ends with that much air.
So at this time I have 15 psi in the rear and 14.5 in the front. The rear has nice scuffing on the edge near the first marker line and that is turning a nice blue.
The front shows no scuffing on the inside edge so I would like to have a little less camber. Running 3/4° now and I really don't want to run less air than 14 psi. Going to take a big rattail file to clearance the strut for less camber to try to get the inner edge to get scuffed.
I take the temps in 3 spots on each tire as the car comes back in. At the last race she only had an 8° difference in all 12 readings I took. I'm thinking that the temps were about 230 maybe that's too high.
Somehow it seems to me that I need about 15 more pounds of weight in the front of the car.
Maybe I should move my seat.
