Looks like you are a prefect candidate for the Pilot driving lites instead of those little square lites.
Nice car! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Cool car, if it were me I'd loose the steel wheels (get some 4-bolt fuchs w/ black inserts), a rear valence, loose the sticker (make it a real sleeper), and GET IT OUT OF THE RAIN...I can feel it rusting from an ocean away, haha.

BTW I like your sig

Hi John!! I saw that you also had one, nice!! I like to have a car that can out perform AC Cobra, GT40 and still looks like a shopping car for old lady´s...
To pitty my car lacks roadholding and brakes but it comes next winter.
The engine is very nice Chevy 350 with aftermarket cylinder heads, headers Torker 2 manifold, Holly 780.
It puts out 288hp on the rear wheels wich is great it`s really really fast from 70-240km/h but i need a porsche 930 gearbox than it would be more suited for the engine and I could try to find som more hp.
Fun to talk to you!

Pitbull,

I wouldn't worry about the stock 901 transaxle just yet. My engine makes about 400hp and has been bolted to a 901 for about two years now. Just don't shock the trans during gear changes and keep the dragstrip burnouts to a minimum. You'll be surprised at what the 901 will take.

I have a friend running a v8 with at least 400 hp who is sitting on several spare 901 transaxles. He has abused his gearbox intentially without a failure. While tuning for maximum performance just last month, he did about 30 hard pulls from 0-100 mph. His hard pulls involve launching from a stop, burning the rear tires (huge tires too since he has flares) without failure.

The 930 box is better suited for a v8 due to the gear ratio but is very expensive here in the USA. I've heard it costs about $6000 to bolt one into a 914. I plan to change the gears in my 901 one of these days and may go for the 930 if a deal ever comes around.

Your plan to upgrade brakes and rubber is a good one. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress.

John

Hi John!!
Yes the 901 gear box is quiet okey!! As I told you I gor 288hp on the rear wheels thats DIN HP that means about 360-370 Sae hp in the engine...so it seems to work pretty good!
But as you mentioned the reatio is much better in the 930 gearbox and i really need it...*L*
I was going to drive 300km yesterday but after 100km the hmm whats it could...the black rubber that runs the water pump...cant remeber whats it could in english ahh it was broken...so the car went back on a trailer and I picked up my 928GT instead...
But next weekend Im going to fix it!!

Thanx I know what it´s cold but it slipped my mind....
I got belts on all my Harleys as well and on all cars...And the belt to the supercharager on our SuperTwin top fuel is the one that brakes if you dont change it...
So my world is full of belts and belt drives...but this time I lost the word...*L*

It´s really hard sometimes when its not the first language, like when you would like to talk about engine parts, or when you got something special on your mind.
But remeber also it´s a lot harder to write than to talk.
So if we meet you would understand everything and I would understand everything as well.

But the poeple in Sweden are pretty good at english, so are the other people from scandinavia as well.
But germans arnt so good, if I would like to buy a car in germany it allways really hard to understand each other. And my only geramn skills is the one I have learned from all the german porno movies...Ich komme, Spritze Hans...*LOL*

funny thing is, i always liked the swedish porno movies when i was a kid (in germany).
go figure ...

if you need tips on how to prepare the 930 box to fit the 914 v8, ask Brad, he has done it a few times now ...

That´s a bit strange because I wonder sometimes what you guy know about a small country like us....Swedish erotica is one thing that I have heard before and that all girl are blonde and very pretty, and that they are very easy to get in to bed...*LOL*

But what more do you know about us??

We think we know everything about you guy´s...
Eating Big steak´s, Dounut eating cops, fat kids eating Ben and Jerry´s Cookie Dough ice cream...
And that everybody visit Jerry Springer show once in life...and that you all live in trailers in trailer parks.

Hope everybody understand that this is a joke....

Wrong about the trailer parks and Jerry Springer. Everything else is about right.

I love big steaks! Yummy.

Big steaks...just had one tonight, while Jerry Springer was on the TV and the mobile home across the street was being whipped off by a tornado. Well time to go get some Ben and Jerrys.
I hope after all that I can fit into the GT seat in my 914-8.
Pitbull nice car, love the V8s.

Hey Pitbull,

Been to Sweden twice. In '94 and in '96
Both times we went backpacing in the "Glaskogen" nature park (it's near Arjang if I remember correctly)
All I can say it's real pretty and clean (no one throws their crap on the street) out there and the people are friendly and hospitable.
And yes, most speek english very well, which is good, 'cause the only Swedish I know is "Knäckebrod" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

cheers,

Jeroen

Oh, and one other thing...

THERE ARE NO ELK IN SWEDEN!!!

We stumbled through the woods for 4 weeks and never found any.
They are a myth and only exist on traffic signs, stickers and t-shirts at the tourist traps
