I must say I was hesitant, but dam if it wasn't a kick in the butt. I can't get over how the exhaust sounds almost exactly like you were standing there. The echo off the concrete walls made seem like it was surround sound.

Does anyone remember a song from around 2000 that included the words "faster faster faster". Not that the video needed any sound enhancement...

Good song, but not the one.

It's been years since I heard it, but i think it may have been a bit of 90s pop/rock or maybe techno. I just remember someone is the SFR SCCA doing a video of his autocross day with this in the background. Oh well, it was a long shot. I just thought it was good background music. Most car videos shouldn't have music anyway...

I was surprised to see how tight the side to side movement of the rear wheels were in those tight wheel wells (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) that v-8 sounded wicked
Wish I could've seen the 944 go at it.

Here is someone you know doing a better job with the 944 than I did. No wicked sound for some reason, it sounds a lot better in person. None the less, very good car control!

In prep for WCR, we threw the 914 on the lift to check things out.

First off, starter bolt was GONE. Replaced.

CV joints were tight, All major bolts were tight.

Wiring needed to be cleaned up so I removed the ECU wiring from the fuel injection and removed and trimmed/replaced a bunch of wiring.

Also the targa top was looking sad as I never got around to respraying it. Also the rocker panels were sprayed with a spray can and were not the right color. So I sanded and sprayed them with my new gun... Unfortunately it took quite a long time to get the gun adjusted right so its not up to par and will get resprayed after WCR... Just no time now.

Still have a lot left to do and im swamped at work... so this is going way to slow.. New front tires are on order and an alignment will be done Thurs or Friday.

Nope, Very little going to be done today... I got roped into helping my GF setup for her best friends baby shower, AND I have to help during the shower tomorrow...

Yesterday we went to the snow.. So pretty much this weekend is a wash, but I was expecting that. Monday i'll hit on it again and finish up the seat, then possibly work on something else.

Well it has been far to long since I drove my 914 any bit regularly, and 4 years since it has been registered for the road. This whole time it has been locked in my garage waiting for me to work on it. Sadly I haven't done more than a handful of things to it over that time. This thread is to motivate me to change that.

Hey Andyrew,

First off, your paint job is just Freakin' Awesome! Wow, what a great finish! I'm working on my 2nd 914 (restoration car) and could surely learn some things from you on paint work!

Unsolicited suggestion, accept them if you agree:
-Like you, I also have a SBC conversion car that I've been running on track for about 10 years now and am very concerned about the removal of the brake proportioning valve. While I always have hated the mushy pedal the valve creates, it IS important. I'm concerned that when you need emergency braking or one of the few wet days in Modesto, that you will get nasty rear wheel lock-up and spin the car. I'm running the Wilwood dual-master cylinder w/ balance bar setup and not only is it very low-cost, it works terrifically. I see that you are a skillfull guy, it should be not a big project for you to do: remote reservoirs mount under the front hood like the original and you will have the hardest brake pedal you have ever felt. When I'm on-track and don't have my bias adjusted correctly, I spin off like a top!
-I viewed you sliding your car in the parking lot and noted that the outside rear tire appeared to have Positive camber....this makes the car oversteery and not what you want. I would recommend 2 - 2-1/2 degrees of Negative camber in the rear. Rear stability is a blessing.
-Lastly, I saw your skillful fixes of the mechanical water pump. While this setup "works", I'd like to suggest going to a remote Electric pump if you continue to have cooling issues. Lord knows Modesto has long hot summers!
Why the electric? Because you get CONSTANT MAX water flow ALL the time. So when you are in traffic with the engine idling, you are getting water flow as though you had the engine revving 4000 (I did the homework on this issue). I've been running my Meziere 55 GPM pump for over 10 years with NO problems. The say it has an MTBF of 30,000 hours and will rebuilt it for around $50.
-One of the BEST things you did for cooling was cut that hole in your front hood, I tried ducted out the bottom for a long time and was always running hot. As soon as I cut my hood vent, all my problems went away, including running at Willow Springs in the upper desert of SOCAL in summer.

I hope this is help, enjoy that beautiful car you created!

Great thread, and very cool car!

I'm putting the finishing touches on my LS1 conversion (Renegade) and I was wondering how your transaxle was holding up. My car has 225-width rear tires, so that'll be a safety valve of sorts, and most of my driving will be hard on it in 1st and 2nd, then easy into 3rd (which is actually 4th, as 2nd is my new 1st gear, if that makes sense). Some say that 4th is the weak link.

My engine is stock, so maybe 260 rwhp and 280 lb-ft.

BTW, I've bought a lot of stuff from Rich Bontempi....a super helpful guy.

Update!

Been putting the car off since it drove like crap last time I drove it. Been about a year..

So over the past couple weeks I've done a couple of little things.

1.Replaced the starter with a new High torque one from ebay, Side note, the spacer is required..
2. Replaced all the HEI bits in the distributor with a Proform Tune up kit
3. Replaced the Holley 600 with a factory rebuilt Edelbrock performer 600 model 9906

4. Replaced fuel pump and fuel filters


To do:
1.Fix leak in radiator (Top fill is leaking. should be an easy welded fix).
2.Flush coolant system and rebuild system to behave like a modern constant air 3.removal system.
4.Time engine
5.Fine tune carb
6.Redo throttle linkage/ routing




At this point out of the box the edelbrock carb has much more torque than the old holley and probably way more power. I havent given it more than 75% as the throttle linkage needs a hair more work and I was just "babying it" around the neighborhood. Couple dounuts, burnouts, drifts later I concluded that it very much likes to spin the rear tires without a seconds thought.
