Dug, Randy & I bought an old POC/SCCA racer from Henry at Supertec (http://www.supertecperformance.com/) in Southern CA. It was delivered today, here are the details:
1973 Porsche 914-6 conversion race car chassis 1973 914-6 conversion. Race car rolling chassis.******No engine or transmission.******* This car was raced in the early 80s to mid 90s. The chassis has no rust, steel rear fender flares and fiberglass two-piece 935 nose. The doors are steel and the rockers are aluminum. It has camber plates but the coil over uprights are missing. What you see in the pictures are stock 911. The trailing arms are reinforced and have the Velios conversion. This means the stub axles, CV joints and axles are of the 930 variety. The cage was being modified when the project stopped so it will need to be completed. There is a duel master cylinder pedal assembly with adjustable brake bias knob. The car is equipped with a front oil cooler (Setrab?) and -12 braid stainless lines. The chassis is cut for a 914-6 factory oil tank but the tank is long gone. There is a new old stock fuel cell (Fuel Safe) in the car but it has never been hooked up. The front sway bar is a 24mm Charlie bar. These were the best you could buy back in the day. The rear wing is a factory 962 piece that was purchased directly from Porsche Motorsport. As you can see, it has a hole in it that can be easily repaired. The wheels are Etoile and although they show some age, they have never been spun in anger. (never on the track) This car was designed to use the tyres from an Indy Lights Lola so the tyres should still be available (10x15 frt., 14x15 err.) There are some brake parts and miscellaneous items that go with the car. The big aluminum piece in the pictures is the front pan. This car was very competitive in its day. It even started on the front row at a POC enduro along side and in front of RSR, 935 and 911 Turbos making at least 300hp more. This car ran 1:28s at Willow Springs when the track was 2 seconds a lap slower than it is now. It did this with a 280 hp 3.0 MFI engine and a mediocre driver. You need a GT3 and a good driver to do 1:28s now.
