It currently has a very reliable 1.8 L 103hp motor as known as Patches. (Yea, we name every thing here.) Patches has a storied beginning. Its a relatively stock 1.8L motor with a hot street cam and Webbers that puts out 103 HP, that was built in 2002. It was first used as an SCCA student race motor by the builder of this motor. Before the race weekend the motor was tested and it was ready for the races in another 914. It ran its first sprint race, one of six that weekend, without a problem. In the second race on the second to the last lap the 914 started smoking. It took first place in class as it crossed the line. We noticed oil on the headers, but no leak from the bottom. When we popped the hood we noticed a socket laying in the engine compartment and a small chunk of the engine block. Looked like someone forgot to remove the socket from the last connecting rod bolt. We immediately dropped the oil pan, found some small aluminum chips but nothing major. We got so lucky, the chunk that came out of the top of the block was one piece that fit right back on it. We just needed a way to seal it and keep it on. Being at the track we had limited time and resources. We fabricated a sheet metal cap that bolted to the top and with some JB Weld to seal it we were ready for the last race of the day. The car ran great and we took first again. Everything looked good so we dropped the pan to make sure it was ok. No leaks, no chips, now what do we do for tomorrow? Since it worked well we decided to refine what we did and prayed that it would work for the last three races. It did and we took first all day. When it got back to the shop, it was totally taken apart and thoroughly inspected. Again we got lucky, only minor bruising in the case and that's it. Since we didn't have an extra block hanging around, we cleaned it, put in all new bearings and rebuilt it. Since our cap idea worked so well we decided stay with it. And work well it did. Three more first places the next race week end and about 3000 street miles later in other hot 914s. Now its in Gumby and ready to go race again. The last 2 pictures. are from back in the day (1990 ). This is the perfect car to race in a lot of sanctioning bodies and offers you a variety of options in a great package. If you have any questions feel free to call This car is not street legal. This vehicle is being sold with a bill of sale only and is being sold as is. Thank you for looking |

VW CFO Hans Dieter Potsch nominated as new board chairman
Fri, Sep 4 2015The search for a successor to Ferdinand Piech has come to an end as the Volkswagen Group has nominated a new chairman. The Executive and Nomination committees of VW's Supervisory Board have put their weight behind one Hans Dieter Potsch, who currently serves on the company's management board as its chief financial officer. He's expected to continue in his current role until November when an extraordinary general meeting of the supervisory board can be called to confirm his nomination and a replacement CFO can be found to take his place. As you may recall, the chairmanship of the Volkswagen board fell until recently to Ferdinand Piech, grandson of Ferdinand Porsche and one of the principals of the Porsche family that holds over 50 percent ownership in Volkswagen through Porsche Automobil Holding SE. Piech went head to head with VW CEO Martin Winterkorn and ultimately lost. Piech resigned and Winterkorn is about to have his term as chief executive extended through the end of 2018. In Piech's place, former union head Berthold Huber was named as interim chairman, but is now referred to in the statement below once again as deputy chairman instead. An Austrian native, Potsch is an industrial engineer by training. He started his career at BMW where he ultimately served as group controller, and subsequently served as CFO and as chairman at a number of German corporations. Potsch joined the VW management board in 2003, initially without portfolio, and soon assumed the financial portfolio – a role he has held until now. In 2009 he took on the additional role of chief financial officer at the Porsche holding company, whose supervisory board representatives are the parties proposing Potsch's nomination as the group's new chairman – even though he is not, strictly speaking, one of their own. In a related development, it appears that Julia Kuhn-Piech will be leaving her board seat sooner than expected. The departing chairman Ferdinand Piech opposed his niece's nomination to the board in his place, and now she'll apparently be stepping down to make way for the family's new choice of chairman.
Jack Olsen built one Porsche to do it all
Wed, 23 Jan 2013Jack Olsen has built himself a lair called the 12-Gauge Garage, and inside that garage he built a lairy Porsche 911 nicknamed Black Beauty II. Although it looks like one of Stuttgart's models from the sixties or seventies, it is actually four decades of 911 gubbins from 1965 to 2000 thrown under one shell: the lightweight body is from 1972, the transaxle from 1977, the brakes from a 1986 Turbo, the engine from 1995, for example. It weighs 2,400 pounds and it's got 272 horsepower to get it going, but it's still a pure Porsche, Olsen saying, "If you stop thinking about what you're doing, it will remind you in very abrupt ways."
Olsen said the real point has been to have one car that does it all, so he does everything in his 911 from neighborhood runs to 7-11 to track racing - he loads the aero bits in the car and bolts them on trackside. And he says he'll never stop tweaking the suspension.
You can watch and hear the rest in Olsen's words in the video below.
The exotic '80s: Ferrari, Lamborghini, Lotus and the Porsche 959
Thu, Apr 9 2015There's no secret that we are big fans of the MotorWeek Retro Review series around here. In an automotive world that often focuses on the latest tech and what's coming in the future, it's refreshing to take a look into the past to get a new perspective. That said, the show is really outdoing itself this time by posting a full episode from the '80s to YouTube, complete with the original, jazzy opening. The video is an absolute standout, too, with drives of some of the best supercars that Europe could offer at the time. Among the now classic sportscars that MotorWeek got to drive are the Ferrari 328, Lotus Esprit Turbo, Lamborghini Jalpa and Autokraft AC Mark IV. There's even a preview that sings the praises of the tech in the Porsche 959. The episode is basically a showcase of most of the exotics from young enthusiasts' walls and school folders during the '80s and is not to be missed.
